The border was tricky on this Gearheads Chevy Gold Puzzle but I think the random shapes helped with that. There is also enough colour difference according to the image to define the sides. Also, I located the image on the side of the box that shows the entire image especially the right side under the puzzle pieces. I took a photo of it and uploaded it to my computer - that way I could enlarge the image to see the colour similarities - that was very helpful as you can see there is minimal colour and lots of dark shades. |

So using my sorting methods, I was able to pick out the light white/greys and gold/yellow/oranges. These colors were going to be significant pieces to the layout of the image.
The overall image has several dark color blends so starting with the lighter ones was my first strategy. The letters on the horn, around the horn and the numbers on the speedometer were assembled first.
The radio and vent-grid were next. Then the outlines of the steering wheel lines were forming. Eventually the wheel was close to being completed and the colors were getting down to dark shades and I was using the shape of the pieces to proceed.
Finally, there were over 100 pieces that were totally black shades.

The progress images share the assembly process of the Gearheads Chevy Gold Puzzle so the photo starts to appear. The Photographer Laura Hatcher has amazing galleries and not only about vintage vehicles. She is clearly very talented. |

I will admit this was one of my very top jigsaw puzzles I have found to be challenging due to the colors shades and took longer to assemble than my usual pace. The image is terrific and Puzzlers who enjoy a challenge will certainly enjoy this one.
There was a good experience with this one because there were MANY times when I was surprised "that piece fits there! YES".
