Thanks for the comments guys.

...the paint is Model Master Italian Red.

I know its been a while.... the only hold up right now is that it needs polish.
I haven't had a chance to get to the hobby store lately to get some.

...I have a question though: can i use Tamiya polishing compound on paint that is not a Tamiya paint?? If not, what would be good to use?

No problems, go ahead and use it on what ever paint you like.

Re: WIP: '70 Chevelle SS 454

Ok...still no polish, but a little progress to show for right now.

The rest is the stuff that has to be done after the body is finished...

I got the radiator and fan cover painted and ready to be attached.

...and some of the parts for the engine bay.





I painted the front bumper and grille.

The signal lights in the pics on the box and in the instructions are bright orange but in the pictures i have found they are more light yellow.
...so i painted them yellow with flat white on top so that they actually look like lights with covers...



I made mention earlier about the raising of the rear suspension and lowering of the front but had no pictures...

I know that it is very simple but it worked for what i needed.

The back is raised 0.8mm, and the front is lowered 1.6mm

VV so here it is VV

FRONT




REAR





Well...thats it for now.

I hope to have some polish for the body soon.

Till then, let me know what ya think.

Comments and criticisms welcome.

Peace!
