Any resin kits or bodies cast from 1974 Chevelle? Would be really nice Stocker, and I'd like to build it. If you have seen any of them, please let me know.

I've been working on a model of that body style, but it's too late to cast it.

what do you mean its to late to cast it?....i would love to build one of those myself!...im tired of seeing 38-70 chevelle kits!

That bronze coupe is a thing of beauty! What chassis/interior are you planning on using under it?

To paraphrase "Field Of Dreams": If you cast it, they will come. You can put me down for one too, and if you decide to do it in any other body styles other than the coupe, put me down for a wagon and an El Camino too. I once owned a '73 Laguna wagon that I loved to use to terrorize the local Fords with. It was our family car but it was running a tweaked 4-barrel 400 V-8, true dual exhaust, a Turbo 400 with a shift kit and high stall converter, and a posi rear.

So I can guess, that there's no resin kits. Your project looks good, really sad that it's too late to cast... I would love to have one. Maybe needs to continue looking for good bodies for "easy" conversion...?

Hey, what's this?!


Looks like '74 Chevelle, but what it really is?

Having it painted does not make it too late to cast. The paint won't stick to the silicone and get pulled off the body. There is a chance the body will break upon removing it from the master mold where you have glued it together.

I would purchase SEVERAL of these, if cast.... I know RACE MOTOR REPLICAS is looking for a master of this to cast....

That's true- but maybe that's an old WIP photo and it's closer to finished now. Even if not, I'd hate to have to repair and repaint it after it was damaged having a mold pulled from it.

You owe it to the great unwashed masses to cast it ....(GRIN)

How about this kit, what's inside the box? If anyone has it, Please let me know, is the body good quality, and how does that front and rear end look like. http://www.ebay.com/...=item5645b0fa69

[W-409]

It would be Great thing to have Resin kit of this. I've been thinking about making one Chevelle from that Oval Tracker, but it's quite large conversion. The Body of course, then the engine bay, interior and chassis too.

[ChrisPflug]

Correct chassis and interior for a curbside are already there in the Revell '77 Monte

The NASCAR rear wheelwells look like they could be used as a basis for stock front openings

[realgone58]

Wagon wagon wagon!!! Think of the possibilities, Olds version, Buick version, Pontiac version...........taxis, public service, stock, drag, demo, drag..................oh man!!!! (Was a kid in the '70s, can't help it.)
