Here's my attempt at the '70 chevelle baldwin motion chevelle. I tried a lot of stuff with this kit that was new to me. I finally got a sheet of bare metal and did that for the first time, it came out alright I think . I wired the spark plugs and detailed all the chrome parts. The kit went together nicely except for the rear panel piece that sits under the rear bumper.

The paint is dupli-color engine red or something. When I sprayed the clear, the clear was not clear... It was dull coat.I kinda dug the flat red so I just ran with it.

Looks like my 1:1 67 Camaro... after a few years the clear coat "died" leaving a funky shade of flat red instead of the shiny Bolero Red... :(:blink: ...

WOW... that flat red does look great. Nice engine detail as well. The Bare Netal went on pretty good for your first time. It will get easier when you keep using it. :D

the only issue I had with the bare metal was that the wheel wells didn't really have crisp lines due to my sanding, I tried to watch them as best I could but I should have watched em closer I guess.

Looks great, to me looks like thus car has been sitting out side for 40 years and you just found a classic. Like it Like it, where about in Ontario are you located?

Is THAT the engine that comes in this kit? I was gonna buy it just for the hood(I want one in 25th scale) but that motor looks really snazzy!!!!!! There's a green one on the latest issue of Musclecar Review that I'd like to try an build. :D;)

Yep that's the engine that came with the kit. it also had a couple options for the air cleaner which included a stock looking one and a hilborn style scoop
