MadKaw6 Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Haven't been on here for awhile. This is the Red Alert Chevelle I recently finished. It's built from an AMT '70 Chevelle. The paint is Model Master and Alclad for anything metallic. I used a set of original decals. The engine is from a Monte Carlo kit with a scratchbuilt oil pan with intake and carb from my parts box. I used this engine for the automatic transmission. The interior has a scratchbuilt rollbar and tach. I used the console from the Monte Carlo. I used the rear axle from the Monte Carlo and narrowed it so the slicks would fit under the body. The wheels came from my parts box and represent the wheels first used. I removed the stock gas tank and made a fuel cell and electric fuel pump.
crazyrichard Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 very cool ! love the engine and like the detail such as the waterhose !! imo you should take the time to shoot some outdoor pics of this one , or maybe in a diorama setting or .. but outside shots would do the trick !! deserves a better lighting and backdrop .. its imo a nicer model then these pics show
peekay Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 very cool !love the engine and like the detail such as the waterhose !!My thoughts exactly. Well done.
TooOld Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Great looking build ! And I agree the engine detailing is perfect , it's not overdone and looks excellent . Best hose clamps I've seen !

Helix Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Nice work Frank, just had visions of the 'Jack Reacher' movie, but that's a stock one
gtx6970 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Really nice looking build. This is another one I have on my 'want to do list' ,,,,, someday
AZ Boy Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 VERY nice job! I especially like the toned-down tires. They're not shiney like many of the builds I see. Great work, Sir!
MadKaw6 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 Just want to thank everyone for your compliments. It means a lot.
awhitegt Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Very nice... looks like the real thing to me. I especially like the distributor cap and wires. I'd love to see the fuel pump etc. from below.
