Hello Chevy and Speed Champions fans,It is a studless model in the new, 8 studs wide Speed Champions style. It was updated on Oct-24, 2024, because some new parts have become available since the first release, therefore I was able to build a cleaner, less pixelated flame decoration. The pictures 1 and 2 show the updated model, the other pictures show the original model. The original design can be built either with fixed doors (pictures 3-5 and 7-9), or with openable doors (picture 6). I personally prefer the fixed door version (Speed Champions style) as it is more sturdy and there are no half plate thick gaps below the doors. The updated model has fixed doors. The use of stickers is minimized in all versions to keep the flexibility of the used parts in further builds, therefore only two standard vehicle registration plate stickers are used.My intent was to keep the width-length-height ratio of the real car and this size makes it possible. I wanted to build the model as accurate as possible in this small scale, therefore it contains lots of details: for example the brick built flame decoration, the emblematic front bumper with the vehicle registration plate and front lights, the side view mirrors and the rearview mirror, the tiltable seats etc.. Maybe the most challenging one was the brick built number on the trunk. I tried to fill every unecessary gaps and therefore some tricky build techniques are used.The model has space for two minifigures on the front seats. There are some space before the rear seats too, but it is enough only for a minifigure without legs. The instructions and parts list files do not contain the minifigures and the jack-o'-lantern shown on the pictures.In the updated version the connection of the two flame parts to the side exhausts are loose and therefore they can be added only for a display. If you prefer a more stable connection add 1pc of part "Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Open Stud" (part 85861) to each exhaust end, but please note this solution put stress to the "pin" end of the exhaust. The bill of materials doesn't include the additional 2pcs of part 85861 for this more sturdy flame connection.The inventory and instructions includes, but the pictures 1 and 2 don't show 2pcs of part "Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Open Stud" (part 85861) which is added to the middle of the exhaust assemblies, the use of these elements is optional, if you prefer the look shown on the picture 1, they are not necessary.The inventory and the downloadable files "chevy_v13_newflame_v07.pdf", "Chevy_v13_newflame_v07_R.xml" and "Chevy_v13_newflame_v07_R.csv" show the instructions and parts list of the updated version. The files "chevy_v13.pdf", "Chevy_v13 R.csv" and "Chevy_v13 R.xml" show the instructions and parts list of the original version which includes all parts for its both options, but only one of them can be built in the same time: either the fixed door version or the openable door version. The differences between the parts list of the options of the original version are minimal, but if you prefer to build only one of them, and don't want to buy unnecessary parts, then please review the instructions.The model has space for two minifigures on the front seats. There are some space before the rear seats too, but it is enough only for a minifigure without legs. The instructions and parts list files do not contain the minifigures and the Pumpkin Jack O' Lantern shown on the pictures.I hope you enjoy the build and the car.
