    It's a great kit but very challenging. They give you a base it's what you make of it. Great job❤

    The build turned out nice in spite of kit and paint issues. The white stripes look great with that blue paint and those chrome wheels.

    I believe the "dirtiness" on the parts is residue from the mold release. This is a kit that definitely needs to be preassembled, because of the bumper and grill issues. I learned that the same way you did.😮‍💨 I also had the same problem with the decal stripe tearing in the exact same spot, and I had use Mark Fit to try to get them to lay down smooth. I seen that Round Two is releasing a John Wick Chevelle this month and I wonder if it's this kit repackaged. If so, I hope they cleaned up the mold. Issues aside, I just bought this kit again, hoping to build it better knowing what I do about it. Thanks for sharing, I really like the styling you went with on the build.🤓👍

    HEY-DAR 👊😎👍: I got this kit when Walmart first brought back kits about 2 years ago for 12 bucks. Now I got the van, the trailer, and two sets of RED ALERT decals just waiting for me. Yes, nice rim selection. Dont you have smaller drill bits? Hey that pink thing in the background is that a bong? 🥴 I assume you test fit before glueing & mock-up before final assembly? I've seen a bunch of builders have issues with closing hoods at final assembly. I think that's were I got that saying: It's Only Plastic, handle It! This is an old issue when I first looked mine over I wasn't to happy with it, but ol well, it is what it is. Watch You Later, (MODEL CAR😎MAN CAVE)

    The paint issues almost sound like the clear coat reacting with the color coat.

    No shit, these decals for this model were crap. I had some from a previous Chevelle that I used.. They were crappy as well.
