corsaircorp Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Hello Dears, I started this one in the '90 and today, I've been sparked to pick it up and work on this car. As a mechanic, seeing cars 8hrs a day at work is enough for me, but.. I like US oldies so... Sometimes, I let my aircrafts aside. I found some pics on the web, as I've worked on these, improving the engine will be easy. I will get rid from the chrome on the suspension, I will not my Chevy to be pimped If someone had an idea to erase the chrome, let me know please. Have a very nice day. Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hello Mark, Thank you for the tip, I'll try it. I really like these oldies. I missed a 72's Fury from the Florida Highway patrol years ago. Still regret it. since it was at 1/1 scale. Have a nice day.

Fazer Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Great, some bleaching of other companies plastic spruces does not work, so a bit of trial & error is called for! The bits of chrome left over, give a scrub with washing up scouring pad, & re-bleach should take the last bits off. MarkD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rwa66 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hi cc, Looking good, what primer did you use on the body shell, it came out very flat and even. Nice to see some of the 1:1 cars that you fix. Cheers Richard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hello Richard, It's Vallejo surface primer for metal and plastic ! Good stuff, it's a 400ml can, I pay 14,50€ in Belgium There's white and grey I think. Hope that help, only inconvenience is the fumes, use it outside ! If not Squabblings with SWMBO are in sight Sincerely. CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeroenS Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 The Chevy is a looker. I like your choice of paints for the body. I'm using the French Blue on my VW bus, curious to see how it turns out on yours, in combination with the Coral. Speaking of paint fumes, those Tamiya cans are pretty bad too so be careful ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted April 23, 2018 Author Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thanks for the kind words Jeroen ! I saw one on the web and I looked what are the best choice of paint for my kit ! lots of masking ahead ! I use the Tamiya can for clear or matt cote on my kits and I always wait for SWMBO to be abroad Sincerely. CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rwa66 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thanks for the reply cc, I think the best choice for spraying some paints is always going to be outside, especially when you do not own an extractor/spray booth. Cheers Richard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
