69 Chevelle

[ewaskew]

This is AMT'S kit,I wanted the ride stance that I have here.

I desided to scratch the frame,my first one. The 230 pieces make up the parts to get it this way,exsample

one lower A-Frame has 6 pieces to complete it as a part.

13 kit parts were used,every thing else was built,Pro Tech carb.,hose fittings MCG,& Detail Master after market parts

were used.

The doors were cut open and they open to the inside of the fender like the real ones do.

The trunk was opened and customized.

The interior has bucket seats front & back with custom dash and waterfall style console all the way through to the back and wraped around the seats then over to the back deck,complese with speakers and speaker covers.

Door panels,custom built with with speakers and covers

Front bumper was filed on the ends for a smooth fit.The grill was cut out and replaced with fine brass sreen painted

black and cross bar.

Headlights are beads from Hobby Lobby.

Rear bumper & tail lights were reshaped to fit flush.

Front & rear air bags made using tiny o-rings.

Sorry about the dust.

Sorry about it being in the wrong place it should be in the under glass.

If Harry or Gregg can move it to underglass go ahead and do so.

Thanks for looking.

A fine looking Chevelle, Earl. Wonderful details. Any pics of the chassis?

[ewaskew]

requested chassis photos

[crazyjim]

Awesome. Thanks.

Nice work opening the doors and deck lid. The chassis is great too.

Your paint work is really good.

I don't care for all the detail being sanded off the body though. With the drip rail gone and no surface detail makes it look like a model with too many coats of paint on it.

Otherwise your work is awesome.

[ewaskew]

Thank you Mitch for your comment,the sanding everything off was done for the show car look.

However the drip rail could have stayed,the window trim stayed on.I just coverd it with black real car pinstriping

for something diffrent.

Very well done......that color is AWESOME man.

Thanks to everyone commenting on this it took a lot to get it the way I wanted it.

Mike the trunk interior is made from Creatology Fun Foam from Hobby Lobby,

the back panel where the trunk hinges are at,there is a slit cut in it,and it fits snug enoughn to hold the trunk in place.

I use this foam for my interiors and it works well with Elmers spray adhesive to glue it in place.

Anyone that wants to try some of this stuff and can't find it.PM me and maybe we can work something out.

You can send me the money and pay shipping its $1.00 a sheet about a 10x12 I'm not making any money on the deal.

Shipping WILL NOT BE E-BAY RATES AT $15.00 for a $5.00 model.It will based on where you live and how much you buy.
