Just make a ss grill with the ss emblem and turnsignal lights as a separate optional piece. That should satisfy my laguna issue the rest i scratch build. Just a suggestion.

Just read through these 16 pages (!!). What a wonderful project and exciting news.

I thought about such a project on my own for years and always couldn't decide with which body to start. As both the MPC and AMT have a lot of issues. Swapping the JoHan greenhouse would have been a much too big task for me so I am veeeery happy someone does it for me!

Can't wait till they are available.

 

Suggestion for a future project:

71/72 GM full size two door Sport Coupe, Buick and Chevy preferred for me. Not the "Custom" formal type roof like the 71-73 Impala/Caprice kits from MPC.

OK, I'm another one who has read through this entire topic with great anticipation. My first new car was a 1973 Laguna . . . and I would certainly buy a few of these when they are available. Can't wait to see the finished product. Incidentally, mine had the bench seat so having that option would be nice . . . but not critical. Please keep us posted as to how and when to order, and THANK YOU to you and everyone who has contributed to make this model a reality. Outstanding work.

I'd also like to thank everyone who has been involved in creating this kit. I just can't wait to build a few of them. My first car was a 73 Chevelle that was a butternut yellow when I got it. I then had it painted metallic blue and finally firemist burgandy. I would love to do one of each.

Good Morning,

 

I remember this car fondly because it was the second car I owned. Was '73 Laguna with round tail lights.

[Drake69]

My family had a Laguna as well. Patiently waiting on this one...

[W-409]

I'm thinking if I should buy this '73 Chevelle too, not sure yet though. The '79-'81 Chevy Malibu would interest me too, so I'm thinking which one I should buy... Well when the '74 comes out, then I got to get few of them!

 

A question: How will these be available? I mean that once they got sold out at some point (I guess they will do), will there be more or is it just one run?

[Lunajammer]

I'd have to throw my hat in the ring on this one. My first car was a 73 Chevelle and I just loved it.

 

1983 My first car was a $400 '73 Chevelle and I hated it! Sucked gas like a truck, nothing on the dash worked but headlights, primered body work, paint like chalk, Keystone mags, leaked everything including through windows, entire interior was warped & rotted, including the headliner. But then, there was every evidence that it had been submerged (dried mud under the rear package deck?). How could you not be sentimental of a car like that? 

 

Yeah, I'd up for preserving that memory in 1/25.

[cooltoys1]

I hope we are close!!!  Im chompin at the bit for 3 of these!!!!!!!   Please PM me when your ready to take my cash.

Wow, I could only laugh when I read this. I guess there is always a lemon in every line. Mine sure wasn't perfect either but I was in love with it. I didn't have the problems you have mentioned Mike.

 

I would say it is worth while recreating the beast in 1/25 scale.

So you paid 400$ for a car that was 10 years old, probably had past 100000 miles with mud UNDER the package shelf, no less. Yep, all those Chevelles were definitely POS.
