Rett,

I looked at the first photo and I thought it was the real car. Then I looked at the second photo expecting to see your replica build.
You did an excellent job on this build.

Your friend should be extremely happy.

Bob

Tks guys. My friend saw the work I did hanging on the wall and asked if I could do a replica of his '67 Chevelle. He still had some of the paint, so why not? I kept the details as close as possible. He hasn't seen it yet, hoping to get it to him soon. I think he's going to ask me to do the '69 Mach I he just sold too.

Thanks guys. For a change, I'm pretty happy with the way this one came out. Hope I can do his Mach I as well. Right now I'm doing one of my old street machines. It will be curbside of my '64 Ford that I put my 406 Ford race motor in!! I'll post when I get enough done to post..

Hey Rett, did you foil or paint all of the trim and scripts?

Actually, the kit came with the scripts in decals. I did paint the chrome trim and wipers. It's a real nice kit. I'm not real happy with the Molotow but am going to buy some more and try it again.It didn't come out as chrome that I thought it should.  Maybe it's just me. Some people are using micro fine disposable brush and that may be the hot set up.....I
