Stuntman Mike Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Hi I´d like to share some pics of my modified AMT ´72 Chevelle. This build was inspired by the Chevelle that was driven by the bad guys in the movie "Transit". I really like the look of this car. Great color, great stance, bad to the bone... The cowl hood is scratchbuilt, the crude side window trim was rebuilt with sheet, the engine was upgraded with spare parts, a Nascar exhaust was added and a set of wheels was robbed from the parts box. There´s still some stuff in the engine compartment missing as I have some further plans for the badly molded front end. The missing parts will attached when everything else is done. Ok, here´s some pics: The paintjob was done with tamiya semi gloss black from the spray can. It was a fun and simple build, hope you guys like it. Critics and comments are welcome. Cheers Edited April 12, 2013 by Stuntman Mike

jeffs396 Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 Sinister looking in black suede!!! And WELCOME to the MCM forums Kevin!
Stuntman Mike Posted April 11, 2013 Author Posted April 11, 2013 Thanks for the nice comments mates. @CrazyGirl: The resin carbs are Holley Dominators from SMBC. Scroll down in the link and you´ll find them: http://www.scalemodelingbychris.com/smbc_partsp1.htm Cheers, Kevin
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Nice job on that semi-gloss. It's tough to get it that smooth and even. Great look for this body style. Edited April 11, 2013 by Ace-Garageguy
Stuntman Mike Posted April 12, 2013 Author Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks again! The paintjob was not difficult to do. The Tamiya spray cans are very good to work with and the results are pretty impressive. I have sprayed two coats of white primer and three coats of black over the body. Each layer was wet sanded completely smooth with micro mesh. The last coat was not sanded or polished, that´s the regular rattle can finish.
AC Norton Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 looks as tough as nails.....love this build...outlaw hood makes it too. regards, a.c.
508boricua Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 super clean. love the engine detail and the finish!
W-Machine Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 Your Chevelle has quite an evil look to it that I really like! Nice.
Guest Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 That is one sinister looking Chevelle Kevin! I normally don't like the oversized cowl hoods, but it suits this model perfect!
ChevyCoupe41 Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Very cool lookin Chevelle! Engine looks really good and I like a lot of that semi gloss paint job. Nice Job!
mnwildpunk Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 I'm a big fan of semi-gloss black paint just something about it. I like it better then a pure satin paint job. very nice job!!!!
am73grand Posted April 17, 2013 Posted April 17, 2013 That looks tough!! I wouldn't mess with that on the street
Custom Mike Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Kevin, that is simply evil looking! Great job on the hood too, it looks like a resin piece! Now you've got me wanting a suede paint job really, really bad!
