Better pictures of the Chevelle (67 SS396) plus my Hemi Cuda

Since I have off today, and its nice out, I thought I would try to get a better picture of the Chevelle. I also included the Hemi Cuda since I never posted it here. I built the `Cuda about 9 years ago if memory serves me. Let me know what you think. I will start another thread on the `32 Ford you see in the picture.

Werd the `Cuda is sweet! I wanted to do mine in White but I didn't have any paint. Awesome Chevelle too Hawk, you rival Pman in greatness of models in my opinion! You must of been pretty frustrated then hey Antonio :wink:


Edit: I forgot, could you take some engine shots please Hawk? I'd love to see the Hemi. I want to get another one of those Hemi `Cuda kits and do it the same colours as yours.

All are so good but why isn't the cuda as shiny as your chevelle?

probably because the cuda was is several years old.... that would be my guess but hell, how in the world did you get the chevelle to shine like that?? inquiring minds want to know.


:twak:

brilliant paintwork Hawk!

Great! Love that Cuda:bigthumb:

:bigthumb: Great job on all 3 , more pics inc engine shots.

I see the shine. It's probably because it's white.

You can see the shine in the third pic on part of the hood where it's sloping down the body diagonal down left.

Stunning work as always

Awesome Chevelle too Hawk, you rival Pman in greatness of models in my opinion!

:eek: Aaackkk!! That`s blasphemy here!! :biggrin: Just kidding. I appreciate being compared to such a great builder!

The reason there isnt as much shine on the Cuda is because it was built so long ago, and what I was using to rub out the finish back then (nicsand) doesnt do as good a job as compound. It also has no clear coat since clear coat seems to yellow the white paint. Still, it is a glossy finish, and I think I could`ve shown that more if I would have taken pics from a different angle.
