larman Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Beautiful work! Great details in the interior and under the hood!
1972coronet Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Beautiful Z-16 ! The 396 that year was unique in its self , as it was rated at 375hp and had hydraulic lifters ( Corvette's 425hp version had solid lifters , IIRC ) . Great choice for the wheels and tyres ! ( side note : I never understood why Chevrolet decided to gussy those Z-16's with a load of options , but then skimp on the differential [ "10 Bolt" , no Posi -- 3.31 gearing , open ] and "saddle" it with power steering and power brakes ! )
TooOld Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 I like the yellow , really sharp looking Z16 ! Excellent detailing too , great job overall !
Modlbldr Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 What a highly detailed build. It all looks great. I like everything you did to it. Thanks for sharing it. Later-
Tommy124 Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Great build, beautiful details that have been skillfully added!

TarheelRick Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Beautiful Chevelle. Really enjoy looking at all the detail you put into it, even the shopping cart chip in the rear fender. That year is my holy grail car. I owned a 283 4V 4 speed one of these and loved it. Enjoyed some adult beverages one evening and cleaned out a ditch and three fence posts with it. Put it in a shed at my parents house with plans on rebuilding it someday. Came home on leave from the USAF one day and found out my father had sold it.
espo Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Like TaeheelRick I have been studying all of the extra detailing you have done on this build. The unique way you displayed the windshield wipers as if the engine was shut off mid swipe and the car keys hanging in the door and I like the hood latch details. I don't think you missed a single wire under the hood. That has to be hard to do without getting the area looking very busy.. I built the same model, and not even close to this one in detail, as a box stock for a show a few years ago. I used a Ford color by Model Master #28102 Phoenician Yellow and found it was pretty close to the Yellow that Chevrolet offered at that time. I pass that along just in case you ever are trying to match that in the future.
grodudulle77 Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Nice work and awesome details, i like the look !!!??
Snake45 Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Very, VERY nice! The bright yellow paint and Cragars peg this as maybe a late '60s-early '70s "Day Two" car, when they would still have been seen as "something special" but not yet universally recognized as the rare collector's items that they are today, restored to within an inch of their lives. Well done and model on!
