This 1970 Chevy joined a growing number of '70 annual car models in my shop-I have a 1970 Impala and Monte Carlo waiting in the wings and that's just the Chevys. This little number was sitting amongst the funk at a thrifty shop and was sitting on those modern tall rims. The stock hubcaps from yet another parts 1970 Impala are perfect with Johan narrow whites or tall AMT Firestones with Cragars on the other side of the car for a sportier feel. The stance is achieved using the lower axle setting, and for mere pennies the thing is a great curbside nineteen seventy Chevelle in lime green styrene that may or may not need further finishing-Mr. Red Primer 2012
Something told me to go to the picked over, trendy, dirty, lowdown cheapy store since I have found some gems there like this damn thirty seven henry un adulterated. I was just about to leave the dump after looking at the same old stained, weatherbeaten shelves full of junk when I checked the warzone aisle of the kiddies area. Here was this motherhubbard ORIGINAL kit that included parts from TWO different parts kits of this same pesky Mopar. Dammit, the thing is loaded with thinline whitewall tires and slicks and rims and wheelbacks but the body was painted by an ABSOLUTE IMBECILe- I often complain about the poor quality of work on these used models but this one is the worst yet. I had heard an old wives tale about Easy Off making a great paint remover for enamel on styrene-sounded nutty but this thing was such a cool body underneath all those layers of silver under coat, some incredibly sloppy candy apple over it in blobs....it is working like a CHARM- this thing is gonna be badass for pennies-Mr. Red Primer
AMT kit is cool and easier- extra coupe body option is enough body for a seperate jalopy build-AMT will be built as a gasser pickup whilst the Revell kit will be retro dated with older rims and larger bed-stay tuned right here for further developments- Mr. Red Primer
