carl63_99 Posted February 18, 2022 Posted February 18, 2022 Calling this beauty about 99% done. Fairly easy build, but the chassis warped again after I started final construction. I included a pic of the tail light assembly to show how to cover it with Bare Metal Foil. That makes light reflect back out and give a better look than the dark look with nothing behind the lights. This color really highlights the sleek lines. 3
1972coronet Posted February 19, 2022 Posted February 19, 2022 That's one of the best looking Chevy B-bodies I've seen! Lovely work! May I submit a suggestion? A dark backdrop (charcoal, black, etc.) for photos in natural lighting would really make that paint pop!
espo Posted February 19, 2022 Posted February 19, 2022 The paint gives an unusual effect and shows the body lines well. I like how you upgraded the engine but made it look like that is the way it was supposed to be. Nice use of colors and finishes in the engine compartment for a very realistic look like the core support and the hood latch areas. The interior color compliments the exterior.
happy grumpy Posted February 20, 2022 Posted February 20, 2022 A great build and a unusual color and upgraded engine make it quite unique. Great piece of work.
AMT68 Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 Great looking build of a beautiful subject. And the paint is just so unique. Interesting tip on foiling the tail light section and one I'll remember as I get set to start on this kit later this spring. I have to ask. What was used on the backup lights as they look very good and I never quite know what to do with them.

Often I will build up a couple layers of clear or white glue to give them some depth. The other option is to open them up and put lenses in. 1
ea0863 Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Just incredible! I love the paint, the customization, and the stance.
lazlow Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 Very nice. Digging the classic look with the cragar's and then lift the hood and BANG new Corvette engine, sweet.
TransAmMike Posted March 25, 2022 Posted March 25, 2022 I missed this one. Really nice looking '67. Great job Carl?
