espo Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Looks like you added some Camaro parts to the front end. I like the Hardtop conversion, makes one wonder why GM didn't do that since it looks so natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford made Brazilian Galaxies with 289-302s. Darts became popular Chargers unti lLee Iococa sold Chrysler Brasil in 1979. Model Car World sells a resin copy of probably the Amt1964 Chevelle wagon kit.
