1970 REVELL CHEVY CHEVELLE MUSCLE CAR

[ERIK88]

Hi, my names Erik. This is the first time I post a build here on model cars mag, I have been building model cars since I was 11 yrs old. I am 24 now, and find myself the freetime to get back into building again. Ive glue bombed many cars when I was younger lol, man I wish I still had them, I would strip them off the paint and rebuilt them, but unfortunately my mother either gave em away or threw em out lol.. It is my first time wiring engines, and scratchbuilding rollcages as you can see on the chevelle. I have a lot to learn, and will ultimately like to build as good as many of you guys out here. The chevelle came from Revell's donks editions, dont care too much for the lifted suspension and big rims.

I also added the 64 chevy impala, old model kit issued in the early 2000s that I was able to salvage ; ) . The car is prepainted. I took out some of the decals that didn't look right on it, I had gold daytons on the car initially, but got lost. I ended up adding the rim and tire set from a lowrider riviera kit, that was also around during my childhood, I also Painted a few things that were missing detail. The car was built years back, only thing changed recently were the rims, I think it looks much more clean now, somewhat of a early 70s lowrider and muscle car in a way too me.

Thank you : ). I still plan on bare foiling the trim onn the chevelle, and painting it of course : ), but Man its gotten 2 paint jobs already, and stripped off with brake fluid due to fisheyes, paint running, and looking messy. both of the paint jobs have been on a compressor and airbrush ( first timer). I hope to get it right the 3rd time lol. It sure is a learning experience, not like the traditional spray cans. I hope to get good before I build some of these in My stash' below : ), maybe ill practice on the NASCARS, except the #3 lumina and the MC AERO.
