That is a beauty! Nice work.

Thanks Darryl !

Fantastic build! Everything looks spot on, color is perfect and it works with that smooth look, when little chrome trims like door handles are shaved off. Also the grille works nicely, and so does those wheels too, even if the spokes are not Magnesium, they look excellent on this. One of the best looking TriFive Chevys I've seen in a while.

Thanks Niko !

I like it! The paint job is awesome. Two questions, what engine did you use and what sort of problem did you have with the super glue and baking soda?

Thanks Vee ! The engine came from the Revell 67 Chevelle with the blower from the Monogram 70 Chevelle . The baking soda absorbs moisture , gets crusty ,swells, discolors the paint and just plain ruins a model over time !!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: I don't know if just the area I live ,but I will never use it again !
