Hey. I normally don’t do WIPs because they waste my building time but someone asked if I was gonna do one for this project so I decided to. The kit is the reliable old AMT 1969 Chevelle SS396 1/25 scale kit. The pictures pretty much tell the story so far but I’m liable to change my mind at any given moment of the build. My boss inspired the idea so maybe if I present it to him when completed, I’ll move up on the list when it’s time to get a raise ;p . Anyway, here are the pictures and thanks for looking.

Glad to see that you got through Fay okay; it's gonna look really cool when you finish it, I'm sure.

Thanks man! All it really did as far as I can tell is rain a lot.

I got the stripes applied but I'm not pleased with them; they're Oldsmobile 4-4-2 stripes but they're all I had to work with. I may have to order some Keith Marks decals to get the correct effect...

Hello. I got a bit more work done today. I know it's not gonna be a keeper but I'm enjoying the build so I may as well do what feels right. :). I may actually get this one finished by the end of the week.

Looking good, I like this color blue on Chevelles, probably because my brother-in-law had one. We had a great time in the that car. The wheels and tires look good as you didn't go over board on the diameter, etc.
