Beautiful work as always, that looks fantastic!

Thanks, guys! Nice! That's on my "to do" list one of these days.

Thanks, guys!

Thanks, guys! I think it was Frankie Avalon in Fireball 500, but defnitely part of the beach party/racing film series from that era. I know Elvis Also had aan Elva Mk.6 in Viva Las Vegas, I've been trying to hunt down something to at least start with for that one!

Excellent work, I alwys liked the look of these!

I found myself with a spare Revell '67 Charger body, so I used Lindberg's Richard Petty Belvedere to turn it into the car driven by Elvis for the movie Speedway. Most of it worked better than I would have expected: the rear axle needed to be moved forward about 2mm, and the front edge had to be squared off to fit the front bumper, but otherwise the chassis fit perfectly. Inside, both front and rear dashes needed to be extended to fit the Charger's bigger greenhouse, but again everything else just kind of fell into place. Even the Belvedere engine bay fit the Charger body with little drama. Decals, wheels, and tires are all from PPP, and the decals included the screen-accurate "Steve Grayson" scripts for the doors. The worst part of the build was probably the Carpet Monster eating the rear deck badge, but I'm calling it "done" regardless and will just add that if I find the one I lost or get a replacement some day. Anyway, a full writeup of the build is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!

Looks great, nicely done!

Great job blending this all together, it really does look like something GM would have been considering.

Beautiful work on this, the color and wheels really work with it!

Very nice work, I always liked the look of these!

Very clean work, that turned out great!

Thanks!

Awesome work, that turned out great!

Looks great, nicely done!

Haha, fair points! ? I was happy to see the Keystone option after many years of monkeying around trying to figure it out like what you're doing now, so just wanted to throw it out there. And thank you, much appreciated!

Ha, that's awesome! Nicely done!

Thanks, guys! From what I've heard, barely. No way it could have really tapped into the power of two V8s without tearing itself apart, and my understanding was that it was so weird and ungainly that it wasn't used for much more than photo shoots.

Great job!

Awesome job on this! Did you include the big block, or is this curbside?

Excellent work! I always liked this kit, everything just fits together nicely.

I used the trailer body from Keystone with the Lindberg frame and thought it did a good job of capturing the feel if not the exact details of the trailer. Still, it might be something to consider as a starting point. Like you, I was afraid of the angle looking wrong or (worse still) keeping an axle off the ground, so I hinged the whole rear of the frame. It's completely hidden by the trailer body, but allowed for last-minute adjustments and has enough slack to make sure every axle is on the ground.

Very cool, I like the custom effects!

Beautiful work!

Very clean, that looks great!

Thanks! The first issue of this kit had figures included with it, but I've only seen photos of that version.
