You are doing some spectacular work on this Chevelle! I'll be ordering a couple of them, especially if the various versions are available. As I said earlier in the thread, I once owned a '73 Laguna wagon, so please consider a wagon version once the coupe is finished. Then maybe an El Camino too...

Two different Laguna noses, too? :huh:





Two different noses, and the grilles were different between the 1973 and '74 too. The Laguna had round signal lights and no badge in 1973, while in '74 it had squared-off signal lights and the "Laguna Type S-3" badge in the middle.

I moved the progress-specific posts from the OTW thread back to here, so everything is in one place. It probably should all be in the OTW section, but it's good for others to see how a resin master is created, and this one is certainly looking good so far.

Thank you for keeping the whole thread together. If I were making this just for myself, I would have put it in the OTW section. In this case, the interested parties are probably here. Now that I think about it, that's pretty much what you said, isn't it?

I think that's what I tried to say. :blink:

Nice work on the body so far, Tom. This one is going to make a lot of people happy when it's finished. :)

I sent it priority mail over two weeks ago. I just can't remember if I sent them to you or to Tom. I think it might have been Tom since he was the one who private messaged me. I'll see if I can recall the deleted message.

Sorry, everyone! I have the door panels from Magnum. I really need to check back more often. As Kevin said, I'm waiting on a few parts. All is proceeding smoothly.

Whew! Dang it Tom, I have enough stress without worrying about the stuff I mail out! :lol: As Ozzy Osbourne once told Kelly "Write me a note!" :lol:
