I`m back! Here is what I`ve been up to...(`70 chevelle)
It seems like forever since I started a thread here, but it`s good to be back.
Anyway, here is the chevelle I`ve been working on lately. It is the AMT `70 SS kit, which is a complete joke! The body and engine aren`t too bad, but they are the only good points. There were fit problems galore, especially with the interior/windsheild/dashboard fit. The driveshaft is just a raised "bump" in the floorboard, and meets up weird with the rear axle, which is about a scale 2 feet to narrow, and mounts about a scale 6 inches low (it really sags in the back). Interestingly enough though, the steering wheel , which is not a chrome piece, came individually wrapped in it`s own little baggy!! For this kit, I worked out all the body imperfections, lowered the front end and lifted the rear, added wires and hoses, and added the wheels. Other than that, it was pretty much box stock. Let me know what you think!

I agree with what you said because it's one of my favorite wheel sets.
