    I remember the new Chevelle SSs in the showroom in 1972. They never seemed to have a 454 just 350s and 402s. This kit is how I remember them This model combines the 1972 AMT Chevelle front clip and the ERTL 1968 Elcamino.

    Ron , these headlights are jewels fom Jo-Ann Fabrics. I filed them round and used plastic polish to make them shine

    GM killed the Grand Sport program before Zora could build enough to meet racing rules

    Ron , did you have any problems poping out the clear headlights on that Buick?

    I think the 1/10 was used as master for the pantograph technique. I noticed that the AMT '57 Ford kit from 1963 has many similarities as the 1957 promo. I would guess that the 1/10 master was used more than once.

    I think AMT did their tool based on a 1/10 wood model (done by AMT or General motors?)

    Did the 427 Cammer come from the 66 Galaxie?
  18. Bob Ellis
    Wasn't one of the V6s a "FIREBALL V6"?

    Snake, maybe you are correct. AIt is what it is. so we deal with it

    It sits very crooked and too high. The blue is AMT 1964 LeMans

    I put the kit together but it had a funny stance. Parts fit reminded me of some of the terrible kits of the late 60s early 70s. Definitely not a snap kit. While building you have to re-engineer the whole kit

    Ace, does it have the side window glass?
  23. Bob Ellis
    I just put together a brand new PL 1964 GTO convertible. No Glass or convertible boot. Kit was sealed. Anybody have this problem too??
  24. Bob Ellis
    This Missing Link Revell chassis combo looks better than the original MPC kit that I built in the 70s The stance is better. I didn't think the MPC fit that well

    Great 1970 full bumpers. I need to build mine sometime
