Brutalform Posted February 26 Posted February 26 I finished the Chevelle up this morning. It’s a really nice kit. I probably should have built the front suspension out from the mounting points, instead of making those thick, ugly, silver things connected to the front rims. Maybe next time I’ll do it different. It’s my first time incorporating aftermarket aluminum turned rims to a build. Even with all the hacking I did, the kit pretty much just falls together still. Seats, and carburetor, wheels, and tires are Futurattraction. Fuel lines and fittings are Pro Tech. Maybe I’ll move on to the 69 Chevelle soon. But that one will be a factory stock. 17
Maurice Henderson Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Sir, this one of the cleanest 68 Chevelle's on the forum..This build is on point even with front wheels..Sometimes aftermarket wheels need a little help to be used..I've got the same problem right now with some wheels I bought on ebay..I'm still trying to figure it out..The stance, how the wheels fit under the Chevelle, no one would have know if you didn't tell us..The build is outstanding and a job well done my friend.
Mopar2 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Awesome ,clean perfect build of my favorite Chevelle.(68-69).Very impressive...
BK9300 Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Really beautiful looking car - well done, and superb engine detailing, too.
James2 Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Very nice racer. Lots of little detail touches and cleanly built, paint and decals look great, well done.
TransAmMike Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Well I missed your beauty here Tom. Exceptional work all around. Your detailing is impressive. 👍👍
dragcarz Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Beautiful Chevelle Tom, very clean build, great detail! Well done!
W-409 Posted March 6 Posted March 6 This kind of Street & Strip cars are very popular in 1:1 world, but it's kind of surprising how few of them we actually see built in scale. With that said, I'm glad to see one here, especially when it's built as nicely as this one. Excellent work!
6bblbird Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Great job! Attention to detail is above par. I like how you installed a drive shaft loop and a scattersheild. You are one of the very few here that would actually pass tech inspection!🧐
Zippi Posted March 18 Posted March 18 The 68 Chevelle turned out pretty nice there Tom. Love the blue.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted March 20 Posted March 20 Excellent work! This was one of my favorite kits to build, I did mine as a street/strip version. As you said, even with many modifications and aftermarket parts it still pretty much falls together. You're paint and color choice is great, as well as the wheel/tire choice, engine, and stance!
