Dude that engine looks crazy good. Nice n' weathered up a bit and I absolutely love that carburetor.  Is that a Fireball Holley? 

[Metalmad]

Joe thank you ! and yes the carb is from Fireball.

That Joseph Osbourne sure knows how to make a convincing carburetor. Thank God for alternatives to the kit "blobs" for that part of the engine.

Was able to get a some bench time in and as you can see I have added the decals to the drive belts, front grill , battery which I also finished detailing the front grill and battery. And also added the decals to the rear bumper but I still need to install the rear red lenses.

This is looking really nice Seth,? I like all the extra engine detailing.?

[Metalmad]

Thank you Greg ! Just wish I had a little more time at the bench.

[Metalmad]

Another small update ...... I installed the rear tail light lenses and also detailed the chrome around the lenses by carefully adding black in the grooves around the lenses.

Beautiful build, I’m glad to see I’m not the only person that takes a year or more to complete a build! 

[Metalmad]

Thank you Roger !  and yes it does take me a bit of time to successfully finish a build.Mainly because of making mistakes and having to correct them but I do learn from the mistakes.

Great looking work on this 69 Chevelle.  That battery looks Awesome.  Are the terminals scratch build or aftermarket?
