66belair Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Got a little more done on the interior. Dash decals installed and chrome trim done. Need a little touch up and some flocking for the carpet and it can go together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 OK Mike you went and did it! I've been watching this thread and everything is coming along so nice, I went and bought a conversion set from Norm when I saw him at the MAMA Christmas party last weekend! Don't know when I'd get to it, but I'm a big believer in when one sees something in the aftermarket and they like and can buy it..........DO SO! It can disappear in a flash and then you're stuck paying a crazy price on eBay one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first one I tried I used thenparts from the El Camino. The resin hood fits better. I now need the 6cyl engine they have listed in the info sheets included with the parts.

66belair Posted December 24, 2018 Author Share Posted December 24, 2018 Got my first coat of color on the body, I just now found out my hood does not fit correctly at the front between the fenders. Went sit it in so I could get some good wet coats on and I guess the paint has built up already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66belair Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Started with the clear coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66belair Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 Interior is almost done, still need steering column and column shifter. Flicked the carpeted areas and used actual GM Turquoise interior dye for color. This was suppose to finished for a club build but it didn’t make it. Hope that it will be done by next weekend so I can take it the show in White Pine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66belair Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 A little test fitting going on. Engine is wired, used a MAD distributor and a resin Vacuum advance for added detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I really wanted something different on this build. My last one was the typical black. Just not moving as fast as I would like.

66belair Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Well I have had so much going the last few months I’m finally getting close to finishing. I have the interior done. Carpet is flicked and I made a column shifter for the power glide. Engine is mounted and starting to mock up the exhaust which is one of the hurdles in my way. I’m not much of a scratch builder. Brought some the shine down on some of the chrome trim, most of the trim on these old cars wasn’t that bright new. I used some Testors semi gloss clear, will do the grill next.

66belair Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Here’s the chassis with exhaust started, used the small block exhaust from the 69 Nova kit as a starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Your build is looking amazing! Nice and clean. I love the interior color. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I like the informations about the parts you could use for a stock built. thats really interesting! The interior color looks beautiful. But, in my opinion, the metallic flakes looking too "big" on the body. I might go wrong, on the last Picture it Looks like a rock to me, it Looks strange . Is it your makro mode on the camera?
