Hi folks,

this has been my first Lindberg full kit. I was pretty pleased with building it until body and chassis had to come together. After that, in order to get it look and fit right, it was screw clamps and superglue - a lot of it. I hope the result looks good anyways...

It looks gorgeous! Love the color too. I've been wanting to build this one for years, but it keeps getting pushed back in the pile. Your build makes me want to get on it. Nicely done!

Beautiful looking Chevelle. I had a friend that had a new one this color minus the vinyl roof back in the day. Looks really cleanly detailed and you would never know what a struggle you had putting it together. A fly droppings in the pepper issue with Lindberg's decal sheet. The license plate they put in the kit are all rear plates in that the renewal stickers in the upper corner of the plates would only be on the rear of the car. The front plate is the same but without the stickers. Other than that nit pick this is like looking at the real thing.

Ahhh, another '66 SS. Man I've gotta get started on mine.  As y'all may have read on here, my first new car purchase was a black on black '66 SS. Great memories!!

Looks great Tommy.

Back in September of ‘65 at the time of the new model presentations, I lusted after a Chevelle with the exact same colour and trim! Your excellent build certainly brought back memories! I ended up getting a Corvair Monza with the 140 hp which I soon had repainted in Hugger Orange.

Congrats on a very fine build, cheers Misha
