james460 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Would love to find those old wheel cover. In the original issue of the Revell 66 El Camino there is a set of covers that are close. With a lot of work, someone with skills way above mine, could probably turn them into nice 68 Covers. Also about the blacked out bottom along the down size edge of the Chevelle body. You could order a new Chevelle with out that. I'm thinking it was only for dark colored cars, dark green, dark blue, black etc. My dad's 68 didn't have the blacked out bottom but below the door area was a sort of crinkle paint that was body color. I guess it was resistant to chipping. His was Forest Green. Hopefully Fireball models have the covers. He has some really nice stuff. Thanks for the tip.

dino246gt Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Looks so cool already, love the open trunk with underside detail, nice! Also I never thought of detailing the chassis still on the sprue, good idea.

Trendsetta68 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Posted April 23, 2019 With the weather cooperating , I finally got some paint on the Chevelle ..... I also have been hammering away on the interior trying to get to the finish line :-) . Its been a pretty good kit so far ... no fit problems or other gremlins yet..... I'll tackle the white vinyl top next with my fingers crossed
