69 Chevelle SS-Pic update 12-22-12-Done!

[slammedi'am]

This is a great build! It's always cool to see a replica scale car, especially when it can be done accurately. BTW the factory color on your brother's car is code 61 Burnished Brown Metallic, which is a fairly rare color on any of GM's performance cars. Wheels look like Boss 338's which are very similar to most torque thrust style wheels. Looks like you got the stance nailed down perfectly. Can't wait to see this one finished.

Yup you are correct on the color...The wheels on his car are Boyd Coddington junk yard wheels

And yes the wheels are 19" & 23" Pegasus wheels

Can't wait to see this completed. Looking sweet!

Almost got the engine done...I dont know if I gonna use the carb yet or not.

Thanks Shane, Those look great on your Chevelle. Gives it that mean attitude.

those wheels are Pegasus Hobbies T's w/Tires 23" Chrome

The wheels & stance are everything: and you nailed it. Unique color looks great on that body style. Your cousin has a nice ride. and your off to a great start replicating it.

I like it. Color isnt really my thing, but it honestly really makes those wheels pop. Nice job replicating it thus far.

Havent messed with it much...Been making me mad because of some stuff not lining up right...Got a photo etched stuff from scaledreams.com and stated putting it on...Almost got the chassis done...I used the Cutlass one from AMT kit on it

[tyrone]

Nice Chevelle the color looks Awesome....

[DBan91]

Looks great so far. I don't think I'd use that carb though. To me it just looks off from the rest of the engine. Just my opinion

[66belair]

Great color choice from the common colors! How much modification did you have to do to the Cutlass frame?

[slammedi'am]

Carb has been changed to the one the kit came with...With the Cutlass frame motor sits up a lil bit more..

I had to trim the top of the tranny and the trans member to get it in there right

[vintagedragfan]

great progress, really like the color!!
