More Muscle: 69 Chevelle SS396

[bluestringer]

Very nice kit. The paint is Tamiya Light Green on the body, turned out a little brighter than expected. A different green probably would have looked better. Interior is Tamiya Semi Gloss Black. Built OOB stock except for a few details under the hood. Had a few probelms getting the body mated to the frame, broke off some parts trying to get them together and found out it worked better to install the interior as a separate unit into the body first, then fit the frame on. The bumpers were also a little finicky, not much contact points for glue. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome.

Nice! Your attention to detail (like the underhood insulation) and fit and finish are well done. Good job, and thanks for sharing.

Nice Chevelle there James, and yes, the green does look a little bright but it still looks great. Here is a picture of my old Chevelle which will make you feel alot better about yours.??

P.S. It's in my rebuild queue. 

Cheers, 

David.??

Good job man, nice and clean. It looks great.

Is that area under the hood a molded in texture that you painted or did you do something to create the insulation effect?

I love clean builds. I guess I love it!?

Thanks. That is actually decals that were in the kit. The texture is in the hood, I used some setting fluid to get the decals to form over the texture.
