slusher Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 Great looking seats, is the dash a Corvette dash? I like the look of your dash pictured…

I like the look of your dash pictured… Yes the seats look kind of right, they come from Revell ‘67 Chevelle kit. The dash is as you guessed from C5R since I have one over.

Any special fixes for this? I'd use some strip styrene, layer in with some ABS glue, that will 'weld' the plastic stipes together and you can then sand for a perfect fit. Good luck , looks like a great start and love the subject! 1
GoatGuy Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 This '69 is looking great so far. Those wheels really fit the need. Looking forward to more. 1
rightrudder Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Yes, a great look, Anton! Love the stance and the wheels. 1

Mattilacken Posted December 17, 2022 Author Posted December 17, 2022 Have been thinking of doing this one for the p2p build but any way. Did some cage work. I think I will be using a nascar dash with a ,5 or 1mm sheet on top as dashboard. 1
Smilesperhour Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 Going to follow this one as working on same kit. Like the work to get some brakes on this car, I need to look at a similar idea
David G. Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 Nice wheels, ride height looks good too. David G.

So you will finish yours ages before me ? brakes are easy to fit since brake shields for the fronts are there. On 1/19/2023 at 12:58 PM, David G. said: Nice wheels, ride height looks good too.

Mattilacken Posted February 12, 2023 Author Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) Micro progress. Not really satisfied.. will see if I open up the other one. also try to sand out the old 4lug pattern Edited February 12, 2023 by Mattilacken 1
David G. Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 Opening grilles can be tricky, it looks like you have a good jump on this one. With a little more cleanup it could still turn out great (grate? ). Seriously though, I've found that the brisk and careful use of a medium stiffness can be good at cleaning most of those annoying styrene burrs. I have an old manicure brush that I use in situations like this. David G. 1

Nice work on the grill, and everything else too!? After filing the backside thin, I scraped the shards off with a hobby knife. Then cut some very narrow strips of fine sandpaper to drag through the slots. Edited February 13, 2023 by NOBLNG 2 1
slusher Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 Really doing some great work on your Camaro! 1
Mattilacken Posted February 13, 2023 Author Posted February 13, 2023 Thanks guys! Will try your tips! Have made the first passes of CA and sanding on all four wheels. And also mocked my new valvecovers ? 1
Mattilacken Posted February 15, 2023 Author Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) Okay so I lost my nut some where on the floor. So I might have to order a set of nuts or change to these with the same tires. Looks bad as in my opinion and true 60’s racer since they are from the 1/24 GT40 and the old school knock offs. Would be painted gray if so. I could also just move the knockoffs ? Edited February 16, 2023 by Mattilacken
Mattilacken Posted February 16, 2023 Author Posted February 16, 2023 Top, 6 spoke GT40 wheels or Bottom, center bolt Watanabes
David G. Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 For me it would depend on the intended color of the car. David G.
