Guest Mustang3.8 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 WOW! Your build is NOTHING short of a work of art, Romell! I will be starting a '66 Impala, but it will be nowhere near as beautiful as your Chevelle. Truly a work of art! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdgracer71 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 nice work there man....hope to be able to build like this some day.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazxr2 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Man I know I keep saying this . But this is amazing, u r so tallented. Can I ask a question tho? What tools do u use to make the small holes? And what do u use to open the doors and such? As i've just opened the hood on my next build and it took me ages to cut through it with the stanley knife? Cheers and super work thanks again.

Jim Gibbons Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Bam! That was my skull exploding, LOL! Not to give you extra work, but I think the xenon lamps require a ballast, so you might have to research the size used for automotive applications to connect the harness to. I'm still reeling at how good the lamps look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers and super work thanks again. Hey Thx for the compliments first off. Secondly I use a pinvise to drill small holes, it holds very small drill bits of various sizes, you can get them online or at your local hobby store. and when I cut doors open I use the back of a #11 exacto blade, or sometime I take the expensive route and use two kits. (For an explanation check my build where I opened the doors.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sorry for the deception Romell That's pretty funny to me too. I didn't think it would function. I thought you were adding the shape of a bulb. But, I took a look at some xenon replacement kits like http://hidugg.en.made-in-china.com/product/VosnOqkPLihH/China-Ugg-Hc-Xenon-Headlight-Bulbs.html Now I better understand the look that you were after. You already accomplished the impression that the bulb is already in there. Keep it up Bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romell R Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) Hello Fellas once again I've added something new to the build.( I think I need professional help ) anyway heres the build progress I hope you enjoy...... I set out to just do the windows and decieded the glass needed the chrome frames present on older chevelles, I started with making the frames and locks for the vent windows on the doors.... here they are with the glass added (well plastic)...

Romell R Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 Once that was done I went ahead and made the frames for the door windows enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparWoman Jamie Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) Romell, stop copying my ideas! LOL Your door vents are the same thing I'm did on the General Lee model that I'm building! Now this is down right scary, we both are thinking alike on detail.. but tell me, does yours open and closes? mine does. Good work so far man.
