I have the blue FM and really like it.  Just wish they hadn't cheaped out the window trim by using paint.  Still a beauty though.

@whodeytink Very cool as always brother, seeing your title I thought you found a model of the actual ‘Heavy Chevy’, Chevrolets stripped down answer to ‘The Judge’.

@whodeytink 

Try some Bare Metal Foil and it’ll make a big improvement.

@100ford2003 It definitely would but my hands are too messed up for that kind of work anymore.  I've done BMF in the past and it really makes trim pop.  I'm okay with the model as is, fortunately.

Thanks guys, I appreciate you all. Mark, I agree. I did BMF all the silver painted trim. It definitely made a big difference. I BMF'd the trim on the '69 when I converted it to a Yenko.😊

@kevins Kev, I'd sure love to have one of those in 1/24. Welly makes a '71 convertible but it's actually like 1/26 scale.😟

I get it and as long as you’re happy that’s all that really matters. 👍

Even though I'm sitting at my computer in New Jersey, I can hear those engines rumbling.
