Snake45 Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Started this one over 20 years ago and got it all finished, except the paint job went sideways in the polish-out (as so often happens). I stripped it and sentenced it to the Shelf of Doom until a couple years ago. This time I primed it with Floquil Reefer White (wonderful stuff) and then airbrushed pretty much an entire "little bottle" of Testor #3 red on it. THIS time I had enough on there for a proper rub-out! Completely stock out of the box except for the wheels from old AMT '70 Camaro. Thanks for looking.
Guest Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Nice, but don't let Harry see, you have no mirror!
The70judgeman Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 The only thing I can see that would make this one better is swapping in the new AMT Polyglas GT tires.
Snake45 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Posted September 7, 2014 Nice, but don't let Harry see, you have no mirror! I almost never put mirrors on as they usually just get broken off and lost anyway. If it came with the kit, it's still in the box and I can install it if I ever need it. Besides which, I'm a Retro guy, and "back in the day" the car kits didn't come with mirrors so I never got in the habit of putting them on or got used to seeing them. Heck, go far enough back in the day and the real cars didn't have them either!
unclescott58 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Nice looking Chevelle. Good job. Scott
cswilliams1963 Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Very nice. Always loved them Chevelles.
Danno Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Nice. But it looks naked without the mirrors regardless of the reason.
Maxicoop Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 I have to agree with you the model T and A didn't have mirrors .......... and who wants to see where they've been Look forward to where you're going !!! LOL ....super nice Chevelle great paint and fantastic details !!!!!!!!
mangodart Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Really nice build, I have one which is a copy of yours with the same wheels, the only difference in my build are the black stripes !!!
Snake45 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 Really nice build, I have one which is a copy of yours with the same wheels, the only difference in my build are the black stripes !!! I might at some point be taken by the mood to add the black stripes (I have a couple '70 kits bought just for parts). Till then, it's a "stripe delete" car.
