Scale-Master Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 Thank you. The chassis and interior went in with minimal effort and fits just fine as well. Still a few parts for the rear suspension need to be added.
Scale-Master Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 Thanks guys! The wheels came from the AMT ’70 Camaro. A little shaving of the AeroVette wheel backs allowed the rims to fit deeper into the tires and make room for machined aluminum outers. I textured the wheel centers to look more like cast units. Center cap decals are from the AeroVette kit.
Jantrix Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 The wheels are a huge improvement from the stock/kit pieces. Nice work.
CorvairJim Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I saw your "Under Glass" post on this car before going over these pics. You do some really good, well-detailed work for sticking so close to the out-of-the-box kit. I like it!
Revstew Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 How do you keep the glass from fogging up with the CA glue when filling the scratches? I have a couple kits with bad scratches in the glass and would love to learn how to remove them and save the glass like that.

Scale-Master Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 I used talc mixed with the gunmetal paint.
vintagercr Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks, I imagine you could do the same on blowers
landman Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Very nice lean work. I'm envious. It also solved a mystery for me. I just bought a Chevy mid-engine on eBay and couldn't figure where it was from. Now I know.
