Daniel Lynch Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Hi all, there is my latest built, an 1970 Chevelle SS396, i use 3 kits to built this Chevelle, an AMT 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo, for the engine, center console and some other components, an AMT 1969 Olds 442, for the chassis, drivetrain and suspensions, and, of course, an AMT 1970 Chevelle SS454, or for this one, an SS396, i say 396 just toi be different. The paint is from MCW "Misty Turquoise" with clear coat, decals are from Keith Mark, addind wiring hose and some plumbing! Oups!!! The Cragar, an AMT 1966 Nova will give it! The vinyle was made by myself, with Evergreen and spraying technik. Don't mist my "built-up" album and video! http://public.fotki.com/mrchevyblack/model_car/general_motors_mode/chevrolet_division/1970-chevelle-ss454/ In Quebec, the licenses plate started with "X" and digit number was a dealer plates, my Chevelle was the "Boss" demo car!

Fisher61 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Let me be the first to say that's beautiful! Done up in a not so common color, very,very clean and a great mix of parts! You did this simple kit justice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Excellent build! It seems to me that the color you picked is very near a GM stock color of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Very good looking Chevelle, clean build all the way. Foiling looks nice, paintjob is very nice and I like that vinyl top very much, it looks very good. AMT's '70 Chevelle, I have never seen it, or I got bad memory. Engine looks very good too, nice detailing on it and chassis is looking good also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W117monte Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) I just found this thread while i was searching for Chevelle models. Very cool!!!! This has inspired me to build a 70 again. I wish someone would make a really good 70 Chevelle kit, as the monogram and amt kits arent that great. Where did you get the color for it. Also where did you get 396 emblems? Its neat to build a less popular car somtimes. My dad has an Astro Blue 70 396. Edited February 8, 2011 by W117monte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george 53 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Well it may have taken you three kits ta get it like you wanted it, but it WAS worth it! VERY nice build! Great color an wheels(How can ya go wrong with Cragars?)GREAT BUILD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Very, very nice. So what's your spraying technique for the top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redknight Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Excellent build! I built the Monogram '70 Chevelle about 20 years ago, and I still consider it one of my better displays. It's not to the caliber of yours, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscool Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 That is one nice Chevy and the color is great just like everyone else said. I have always thought the AMT version looked better than the Revellogram. The latter looks like it ran into a wall and flattened the front end. grumpy gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W117monte Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The AMT has a better front end. I like the monogram wheels better, the grill has better detail i think too. The crease on the monogram trunk is incorrect and should be sanded off. i wish someone would tool a new 70 kit and make it accurate! When i was a kid i had the red monogram chevelle. they stopped making that one. At least it had black stripes in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
