69 chevelle

Just finished this one AMT 69 chevelle?  Not perfect but came out pretty OK.

You really captured the look of the time. Most had this look but they didn't have the power you show here to back it up. The stance was what everyone wanted and the "weed sprayer" side exhaust looks good.  The lines on the vinyl roof look in proportion and a good finish. Nice clean chrome moldings. I'm partial to the color as well.

Thanks. The color was something I dug out of the paint cabinet. Don't even remember what I originally got it for.

I like that. Nice raised stance on great looking wheels.

Thanks the rear wheels are ones that I widened.

They look good! How did you widen them?

I enjoyed seeing it come together on the BOYD thread, the finished result looks great!

I took a pair of wider wheels that I new I would never use. Same diameter as the cragar. Judged about how wide I wanted to go and cut that much off the wheel. Then removed the bead from the narrow cragar and glued what I took off the wider wheel to it. I have done this with several sets of wheel. Most kits nowadays don't come with staggered wheels, and I am partial to the old school wide back narrow front.

Good job! I never would have known they were widened from scratch unless you said. I love Cragars, they look good on anything.

Great looking Chevelle!

Nice Chevelle Joel! You can't go wrong with Cragars. I also think the vinyl top is a nice touch. Well done.
