pro street 67 chevelle...

i enjoyed this build, learnt alot from it too
il get it outside on the weekend and get some better pics, the lighting in my home is crap coz silly energy saver lights.

Hey TJ that looks awesome, Super paint job and I like what you have done with the head rests. You have to start another step by step build, we are all hooked!

Looks great Todd - you should be very pleased with yourself.

Love those valve covers, they look real - how'd you do them?

i sprayed tamiya clear blue straight over the top of them...

i managed to get it outside for some pics... im not much of a camera goon!!!






i rubbed through the paint on the left rear quarter and on the hood cowl, im not game enough to fix it.
i should keep my day job

AWESOME result!

Paint turned out awesome, a little pinstriping may hide the rub thrus and had you not mentioned it I may not even have noticed.

How much of the original kit did you change?

Great Build Todd! But now I've got the bug to build a Pro Street..............Keep an eye out soon.

GAS #4 perhaps...? Pro-street - I've got as few ideas in mind...

Does this mean I gotta use treaded DOT legal tyres on my Lexus?

Sensational work, that is one of the best paint finishes i have seen. Love the detail work.

thanks for the kind words guys, and thanks for the inspiration i get everytime i log on here.

carps, i modified the front suspension to lower it. the manifold was replaced and i used resin carbs. resin front seats, wheels from ??? another kit lol and i replaced the rear bar and garnish with 1 from a standard chevelle.
paul, gas # 4 pro street and can i start now

Damn Tj, that is so . Fantastic looking paint job .

Just lost for words, super job

thought id give myself a little plug ere n show sum of the newbies that, i have built a few and allthough the tools r put away the itch is becoming quite unbearable n ITS ALL UR FAULT, lol...

C'mon Todd - scratch that urge mate. Your talents are too good to waste...

as a "newbie" I had not seen this chev before, Pro Street is way cool. AND yes even if it is its still a quantum leap ahead of my paint jobs. did you use templates or masking for the flames. If it is freehand .............. OMG
As i am only just getting back in to the game, i am keen to improve painting skills, equipment seems to be the most confusing, i have a compressor etc but the badger type airbrush is a bit agricultural.
what seems to be the "go" for not only single colour spraying - but custom jobs - any advice gladly welcomed

cheers for the pep talk bryce, i need ointment its that itchy lol
hammoszed, if uve got some spare time, i put together a pretty basic tutorial in the how too section on the forum, and also if u can finf the WIP in the workshop of this build there may be some info in there you mite find useful... hope it helps... good luck with it n i hope to see some of ur work...

I enjoy you guys bringing up your older builds. This one is supberb, a must see!!
The paint work is fantastic looks so deep and the detail throughout is excellent. Nice work mate.
