FLHCAHZ Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) I’m calling this one done. Built right of the box with the only add on was that I wired the engine (pre wired distributor) I wanted it to look like something you would see at World of Wheels show. This is a decent kit, but the rear shocks, tail lights and bumper took some work for my skill level. I don’t like chrome headlights, so I mixed some clear Elmer’s glue with a drop of white paint, and painter them with a toothpick . I should add that there was a trust to the kit, I did my best to make it work. Here are some pics: I went with Avery basic clean white interior I think it works well I think I need brighter lighting in my photo box. Any comments welcome and thanks for looking Edited November 28, 2021 by FLHCAHZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransAmMike Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Actually 3 colors, red, white and blue pearls. I screwed up the clear on the hood so had to repaint the red and I can't get it to match now even tho its the same paint. Frustrating!!

I've got a few hours in trying to make mine fit right, and I don't have it to my satisfaction yet. I had the same problem with the Monogram '66 Chevelle and the AMT/MPC '57 Corvette. And I can tell I'm gonna have it with the Monogram '60 Chevy sedan delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
