hotrod59f100 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Cool so far . Looks good:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Interesting build, haven't seen much of these built. I have one kit, but I'm not far with it. It'll be Custom too, and I have started engine building, there were no problems with that, if I remember correctly. That needs to be slammed down too. Interesting color choice, but that combo might look very cool on finished build. Paintjob looks like shiny. Can't wait to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 The Revell 64/65 Chevy kits are pretty nice. They have those "block Hugger" headers and the torque thrust wheels, great chassis detail. FYI, the chassis makes a decent replacement for the AMT 72 Chevy/GMC kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwit Pushin Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Interesting choice to slide the top back, eliminating the 'sun-visor'. I might have added to the forward area of the raised rear portion of the top to contour with the side 'relief' areas just behind the doors (See example below). What you've done looks great though, looking forward to seeing the finished product . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwit Pushin Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I only noticed because, as a former auto glass installer, I remember what a 'bugger' that little bit of roof hanging over the windshield was to work around, especially if the windshield had chrome trim included!!
