70s cars as they really were!
LouO replied to Oldcarfan27's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Just my first car (parked for the winter season) after a lot of hard work. Still in search of a 1971 Chevelle model kit at a reasonable price so I can replicate it. -
The 2022 Cannonball Run Year of Birth Build Thread
LouO replied to disconovaman's topic in Community Builds
I thought I was on the list? Guess not - but please put me down for a 1968 Chevelle SS396. Hopefully 2022 will be a better year in many ways for all of us! -

Sweet. Thinking of going with a 5.5 out a Corvette C7.R kit to do something a bit different. -

Found my 68 Chevelle kit (already opened, a bit started?). I will admit main part of chassis looks like it was sprayed flat black at one time; however I'm also missing numerous pieces (inc. all engine parts) so hopefully you folks will be kind enough to let me use it? or is it considered already started? -

If we do birthday year, I guess I'm pretty lucky - 1968. Count me in with the Revell 68 Chevelle kit. -
Very cool, back when crazy cars like that were actually seen on the strips. I dig it man!

Lots of things on this year, so I'm retiring from this years build. Good luck to everyone; things looks great so far. I'll be stopping by every now and then...

Built as if it was recently recovered from a backstage studio lot (after having sat since 1995). During this build I lost interest several times, pressured myself for time and ended up with less desirable final results – but hey I guess it’s done enough. It does include a 25 year old aged/weathered exterior; inc. signs of a quick black paint job, over the factory silver (the real car was hacked 10th Anniversary Edition car!) an unsound exhaust system and an aged/rusted undercarriage. The interior includes worn/split seats, a relocated steering column (placed in the correct location) and I deleted the stereo. Rumors say the real car had no stereo in it – so I went with notion it was stolen. On the plus we did find Billy’s original “Boom-Box” in the back seat with the original cassette tape still in it!

Awesome! ? -
Nice! Like the combination of the tubbed / pro-street look with the modern engine.

Having built it's sister kit (The Old Pro) a few times; this is one of the nicest (if not THE nicest) builds of this kit I have ever seen. Nice work.
