1970 CURBSIDE PROMOS

Some of you have an attitude about curbside kits, promo kits and snap kits. It is understandable. But while you were arguing about who put the mustard in the tuna that you neither purchased or prepared, I grabbed this second Chevelle SS and added some Cragar rims sitting on AMT thinline whitewall Firestones.

Actually these newer pressings of the old annual kit from nineteen and seventy are molded in garish colors but have endless potential to be primered and finished more completely at a later date. Nuts could eventually cut open doors, hood and trunk, add interior detail, engine, sound system, furry window treatments etc etc...

For a shady touch the window on the blue one was given a coat of flat black on the backside of the windshield.

This kit was another thrifty store find that was cheap and easy. The "twentys" rims and tires will be put up on eebai prolly...Mr Red Primer

Full Fendered Beauty

One day when you nerds were probably eating tuna sandwiches in your mom's basement or maybe watching fake judge courtroom trash tv, I found this goofy thing at the local Fret Mexer for a low low price. The louver work on the hood would look nice on a fenderless highboy, but when I got the thing home, I realized the chassis is part of the fenders. So I decided to build a fendered jalopy, and switched the big-and-littles out for Firestones and pie crust slicks (if you don't know me by now...) I dechromed the steelies and valve covers with Eazyofff and started in on assembling the thing. Here is the first mockup, you will be updated on a need-to-know basis................Mr. Red Primer
