Started with the van sometime ago, then just had to add the fastback and coupe. I think they maybe new kits? Perhaps retooling of old offerings. Struggled a bit with paint choice colors. Not many pics available of stock cars. Hard to match the pics with commercially available hobby paints. Bob posted in the 1/24 forum he has a fastback in black, and I tossed up between black and the blue. Kinda think now, maybe?? I just had to buy another fastback to make the hot rod. Nice subtle rod kit. Also by not using the rod woody decals and frames I could make the coupe a woody, as the coupe kit does not provide that option. Mentioned difficulty with paint colors, so I opted to try and match the coupe colors with the kit box colors.

Wow-wee! I've always loved these terrific Chevy models - looks like you had LOTS of fun building these. And why not, right? 😉
