'65 Chevelle

[JET]

good old Revell Z16 kit. new issue with big wheels,.I'll be making it a stock version

here is a bit of work to the engine so far.

I added poor mans pulleys just using some wire to wrap the edges, dipstick tube and the normal drilling of the distributor etc




made a leaky valve cover!


I got the engine wired up, even added lettering on the plug wires.( Luftwaffe decals! lol )
I weathered it but not to junker status ! lol also no point to detail the carb since the air cleaner is going to live on top

The spark plug wire is called Kynar wire .44mm, used to be found at radio shack, non existent anymore here in Canada.

The heater hoses are just cheap ear bud wires .66mm

That's some seriously good detail work, what scale is it?

Wow, amazing work on the engine. Can't wait to see the rest of it. Decaling the spark plug wiring is mind boggling to me

Keep on posting, great to see more vehicles
My son and I made a Revell Chevelle as one of our first models together when he was pretty little and it got me back into modelling
Have to see if he has it still in his room

[JET]

so I finally did some more work on this build

painted a metallic blue craft paint. then weathered with artist oils. the chrome trim is cheap HVAC tape from the dollar tree.

Your Hvac tape looks better than my BMF!!!
Nicely weathered as well

Very nice. Not a car modeler but love Chevelle' & you've done it justice. Can't wait to see it finished.
