StevenGuthmiller Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Looking great so far Tom! I've gotta get me one of these kits. Everybody seems to love the '65-'67 or '70 Chevelles so much. To me, they look like a Yugo next to the '68-'69s. My preference has been '68, but '69 will do nicely! Keep up the good work! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtienutz Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Looks good Tom, Glad the parts got there in time, suggestion shorten the rear seat belts a little and give the buckles a wash with blue paint to make the GM buckle pop. Stack up some pieces of evergreen to replicate an arm rest base Edited May 6, 2014 by Bowtienutz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 thanks guys. a big thanks to Bowtienutz [Vince], he hooked me up with the belt buckles and window cranks/door handles, I think he is just trying to make me work harder at these things , seriously though, thru his sending me parts like this, it has made me think a little more about what I am doing, and realizing how much better things look with that little extra something. will probably 'pad' the arm rest on the next one. Vince, I made the belts long, as all the A body cars I had back in the day had super long belts. I even had one that had 'clips' on the bottom edge of the bottom of the back seat to hook the buckles to, to keep them orderly. Carl, as mentioned, Vince hooked me up with the door hardware, the packaging says 'Replicas & Miniatures Company of Maryland' hopefully Vince will pop back in and verify. good stuff though! although, I have to ask him for sure, as I think I need to order a bunch of these for 'stock', lol. thanks again guys, body is now glued on, with some luck, later tonight or tomorrow she should be about done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG NICKY Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 that interior looks amazing and the body looks great too. i don't know if it s just the picture but i think you may be missing half of a seat belt in the back cause i only saw five Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtienutz Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Replica in Miniatures do indeed make the door handles and window cranks. Norm Veber offers two different versions one without vent window cranks if your doing a pre 69 car, I also offers outside door handles and mirrors that are just great for updating old GM kits.
