-wip- 69' Chevelle

[JTRACING]

starting a new model. AMT Chevelle. it looks like a great kit so far.



first thing im working on is the grill. It’s pretty good. But those molded on chrome headlights need to go!!.

So I drilled them out and installed some lenses.

I'm glad you're building this car. I've thought many times about buying it but have been worried about it's quality and detail. I'll finally get to see what can be made of this kit. I know you will make the best out of it.

I'm looking forward to following this thread.

Hey JT,
What did you use as replacement lenses? I am working on a 70 GTO that has VERY similar headlights, and I was planning on doing the same thing. I bought a 69 Firebird kit for the headlight lenses though. Is that what you did? Thanks man,

Hey Erick,

the lensies I think were from a 62' Bel Air. but lenses from any car will work.

ok another update now
I got the plug wires hooked up, and the exhaust on

When you do the spark plug wiring it looks so "natural"...is there a secret to posing them, is the wiring flexible to th epoint that it won't spring back?

yeah, when you bend the wire it stays that shape, no secret lol. i use this 30 gauge wire. you can find it at electronics stores
