1965 Chevelle

[MarkJ]

Thanks , David and Gary. Yes on the fabbed buckles. I put the tape belts on the seats first, and then make and add each buckle piece or tensioner , one by one, and then I paint them with a tooth pick.

[Gary Davis]

Man Mark...you just blow me away with your talent and building skills. Those buckles could pass as photoetch pieces. Great job.....

[MarkJ]

Thanks, Gary. They are not really that accurate but they have the look of it from a distance. Are you working on something at the moment? I haven't found any of your wips lately at the usual places.

[Gary Davis]

Right now Mark.... I'm in the middle of building Tim Richmond's 1980 PC7 Indy car. The one and only year he ran at Indy. There's quite abit of fab work to do on the amt PC6 to make it a 7. I think about three other folks had done wips on this car and I didn't want to rehash old subject matter on the forums. Annnnd..... it don't fit in here either. LOL It's getting there though...

[Gary Davis]

Gary. . . Gary. . . Gary. Building something fits in ANYWHERE! 

LOL...OK...I'll go stand in the corner now...lol I think you just inspired me to do a wip on that Indy Car David....

Sorry Mark...not try'in to Hi-jack you wip my friend.....

Some excellent fab work taking place there Mark. I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished.

Thanks, Gary and Bob. Gary, the only way you could hijack this wip, is if you posted, in this thread, pictures of your own Late model 65 Chevelle. which I know you would never do.

That interior and DASH look great Mark. Great job on fabb'in that fire extinguisher.

[MarkJ]

Thanks, Gary. I always forget to allow room for the thick kit windshield, so I'm going to have to rework the cage, and move the front top tube  back a little. I wanted the A pillar post cage tubes to fit flush with the A pillars, like the real car, but if you use the kit windshield that is impossible. No big deal to fix it just not the look I wanted.

Mark, toss that thick windshield and use a piece of a clear report cover or clear from some packaging.  That is what is in the last three I built.  I found some clear and colored sheets at hobby lobby last time I went there.  Its thin. 

[MarkJ]

Thanks for the info George. I already fixed this one, but will definitely go with the clear thin plastic sheets on my next build. Where abouts in Hobby Lobby are they located?

[Lefturns75]

You would ask me that!   I think I found them where all the dry transfer stuff is.  It is made by Midwest Products Co.

Ok, Thanks.

Really enjoy watching this build come together.  I also got some of those clear sheets in various colors.  IIRC they were hanging on a peg in the models section, but I could be wrong - I was once before.
