Steve H Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 This build started with the Revell kit. I swapped out the custom rear lights for the stock unit from the AMT kit, then added carbon fibre decal on rear facia and PE 396 SS logo. Molded door handles were shaved off and my spares box provided new handles along with PE locks. Trunk was cut open and hinged. Inside of trunk is flocked, and has fuel cell, battery, sub woofer and NOS bottle. Antenna is guitar string, BMF trim, body is painted GM medium Garnett red. (I own a 1:1 ‘67 Beaumont in the same colour) Interior was flocked, roll cage modified, added a nav screen, amplifier , and used PE power window switches. I like to use 5 min epoxy for “glass” gauge faces. Turn signal lever is a pin with a small pice of tubing as the knob, guitar string used for door lock knobs. Motor is a wired and plumbed 396, blower came from the “Vandal” kit. Blower and alternator belts are made from masking tape. The chassis is lowered ( I like everything low), Cragar wheels from a Glidden pro stock kit, disk brakes. Exhaust tips are aluminum tubing which I use on most of my builds. Thanks for looking, comments welcome. 3

espo Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Outstanding engine details along with the chassis. Beautiful looking paint finish and all the chrome trim is really clean looking.
gman Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Great job on this. I really like those Glidden wheels, and they look perfect on the finished model.
Steve H Posted July 18, 2020 Author Posted July 18, 2020 Thanks very much guys, this was one of my favourite builds.I think the Garnett red is the perfect colour on these body's, just seems to show off the lines. Roger, the short answer is "no" , the long answer is that I had a go at doing a carbon fibre decal on the hood... twice. Couldn't get it to sit right, then got a bit frustrated and thought, hmmm, probably never going have the hood on anyway. So boom, I have a hood sitting in a drawer on my bench. Just thinking now I should have another go at it... I'm sure if Misha sees this he'll give me the business about not having a hood on it. Cheers
Bills72sj Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Very nice build. One of these is on the to do list.
slusher Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 Impressive Chevelle! Excellent detail and paint!
