Really really nice job on a tough kit

Nice!

So this was inspired by the car that the Martin Brothers built in Iron Resurrection. I cut the rockers off below the body line and replaced them with ribbed evergreen sheet. Then I cut the scoops into the quarter panels. I put a 3D printed Mercury MARINE LS7 DOHC engine in it. Had the rims made for it.

Nice

That is sick cool!!

Really nicely done

One of my favorite 70s Monogram kits. Painted a pearl orange I whipped up. Camera makes it look redder than it is. Chromed the sidepipes and switched wheels for some printed daisies.Other than that box stock.

Cool oddball build!!

It’s basically a resin copy of the old MPC Yarborough Laguna with an AMT nose bumper and hood. I absolutely hate the AMT kits huge wheelwells and goofy completely wrong roofline. The MPC body is light years better. So rather than scare up a rare AMT 73 kit and a scarce MPC Yarborough kit just use a resin. Way cheaper. This isn’t the best body I’ve ever seen but I’ve had it for years. Time to use it.

Real car

Resin 73 Chevelle on a AMT NASCAR chassis. This was a goofy looking car the way the rear axle was placed in the wheelwells.

Well really it’s a 70 but it’s the closet to my wife’s uncles car I could get. Basically box stock with the exception of a 4speed conversion. I also eliminated the center console as his car is console delete.

Yeah it’s a little long in the face shall we say.

Never mind I see it. Never noticed it.

What’s incorrect about it?

This has sat painted in a box for easy ten years. So I decided a printed set of wheels and tires would motivate me. It did!!

Nicely done

Nice job

The MPC is shaped much better. The grille is set back better along with the headlight covers

I’m specifically interested in doing a MkII. Which kit is the best of the group fit wise?

No sir this is a copy of the MPC 73 Laguna nose. GKS Charger casts it

This started as a MPC Slantnose Laguna. I added a resin 73-74 frt bumper and reworked the back to look like a 74. It’s on a stretched Tbird chassis with a big Chevy out of a Motion Camaro kit. PPP wheels and Powerslide decals.
