ModelcarJR Posted January 4, 2023 Author Posted January 4, 2023 Thanks, Carl and Jeremy! I appreciate your comments! I re-thought the interior and went with black and white. Just have to foil and detail now. Thanks for looking!
ModelcarJR Posted January 7, 2023 Author Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) Finished the interior. The New Year is not off to a good start as I didn't order my foil or plug wires early enough to keep this build going. So I took a few days off and now are back on track on this one. Thanks for looking! ? Edited January 7, 2023 by ModelcarJR Change photo 1
TransAmMike Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Looking real good there John. Looks like you nailed the details on the door, panels and dash.
Zippi Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Looking pretty good. That color really pops once the bmf was applied. I've seen this kit at HL just never picked it up. Nice work.
bluestringer Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Looking great. Very nice. My favorite year Chevelle. I have the kit in my stash. I'm watching. 1
ModelcarJR Posted January 9, 2023 Author Posted January 9, 2023 Thanks, All! I appreciate your comments! Finished the engine with plug wires, breather tubes and fuel line. Heater hoses were added once the body was installed with the chassis and interior. Mounting the body onto the chassis was a tight fit and I broke the fan belt below the alternator but re-glued it together. Forgot to add the tube from the radiator support to the pulley on the fan belt assembly. Then when tried to add the larger tires and Cragars I broke three tits on the axle ends. I thought with those broken and all the other problems I have had, I will just add the kit wheels and save the larger tires and Cragars for another build. So I set about to fix the axles, reduce the size of the kit wheel backs because they are too deep, and make other adjustments to make sure everything fit well and the wheel position was good. It was a long day but its on wheels! Thanks for looking! ? 2
ModelcarJR Posted January 10, 2023 Author Posted January 10, 2023 Thanks, Carl! I appreciate your comment! This one is done. I would describe all my mistakes on this one but it would take too long! Sorry for some of the blurry photos. Still working on the camera. Thanks for looking!
