  1. Please post or PM me if you have a specific need. I own a '65, and have access to tons of pics of '65s or other Chevelles from '64 to '72.
  2. An original 327 sb (45K miles) on it's way out. A '65 dash/interior with RARE factory air conditioning. Detail of clock and gauges for '65 SS cars. Grille emblem insert for '65 A (correctly) restored engine compartment ('65 w/ SB) A (correctly) restored "L-79" high-performance 327 An unrestored (clean) '64 or '65 with dealer A/C engine bay The "dealer A/C" unit in the cab ('64)
  3. Hey all - newbie here. Thought I'd share some photos of my latest build... 1/25th smaller than what I'm used to! This is my '65 El Camino, and I thought that while it's below freezing I'd build a model of the real thing. I'll be kit-bashing the following: AMT's '65 El Camino Revell's '65 Z16/Malibu 2-door Revell's '94 Impala SS So far, the only thing from the AMT offering used will be the body, glass, and bumpers. The Impala will donate it's engine/trans & wheels/tires, and the bulk of the kit will be of the Z16 (it has the most inherent detail). My car has a bench seat, and none of the kits offer a bench front seat... so, take the back seat of the '65 coupe, cut it free, attach the package shelf from the Elky kit, and make a front bench seat. I cut off the rear "extensions" of the coupe side panels to make a new interior "bucket". In reality the coupe & Elky share nearly the same doors, so it's a wash in scale. I cut free the 1/2 wheelhouses from the coupe body, and grafted them onto the chassis 1/2 wheelhouses, and started to hand fab the various accessories - puke tank, PS reservoir & cooler, electrical box, WW jug, and Cruise control module. The engine is nearly correct (prototype has a '96), but the air filter box & homeplate are correct. I'll need to alter the intake manifold slightly. I'll keep you posted as progress allows (and if I remember to take photos!)
