I converted a Revell 69 Mach 1 to a Boss 429. It fit fine. When I put a 427 Cammer in a 67 GT, The shock towers were almost completely removed.

Those are WICKED! Well done! Any more pics?

Nice job scuffing the slicks. They look like they have actually touched pavement.

I would buy one or two in spite of already building resin one. Other parts needed that would work are the dash and front bumper from the 70 Monte Carlo kit. The entire drivetrain would work as well.

I shall be contrarian here, I put both BMF and decals directly on paint then clear coat. I changed to this method after a batch of BMF having some poor adhesive. It got annoying to trim something perfectly just to have the ends flip up at the slightest touch. Never had a problem since. I also have not experienced the yellowing described by others. Then again my oldest build with BMF is circa 2006.

That looks fantastic! My 1st car was a 68 Malibu. I totaled it less than 2 weeks after I got it. I pulled in front of a dark blue car driving at night with his lights off.

That looks GORGEOUS! I would be proud to have that in my display case. I am not nit picking but you may wish to take a closer look at your headlights.

I am definitely interested in a couple of these. I owned a 70 Lemans Sport in gold and my buddy in HS had a 70 Lemans Sport in red. I have 2 of the AMT 72 GTOs waiting for this purpose.

I have always wanted to own a 1:1 68-70 El Camino. (My 1st car was a 68 Malibu) I have used this kit for 2 custom projects. I need to build a Day Two version for my collection.

Wow, that finish is superb.

So beautiful. I am jealous.

Very nice build so far. I suggest you take the time to detail the Keystone Klassics with semigloss black. I shook my bottle of paint and used a round toothpick dabbed in what paint sticks to the lid.

Yes, Baldwin Motion has both spoilers. You will need to source a flat hood elsewhere. Note: some of the AMT/Ertl Camaros have pretty lame front end shape. But they do have a flat hood.

Excellent result. What was the technique in the red interior panels?

Sweet 57. Did you research the interior colors?

Great job on your mods. Someday, I want to make two 7 car versions like this.

The ones on the little red car are pretty close except for the flat spokes. I actually had someone on the forum volunteer to put in the effort to design, and 3D print them, after sharing very specific dimensions. I asked for only the wheels centers, as I machine my own hoops from aluminum tubing. Here is a photo of the prints he made for me.

I am usually build ONE semi rig (tractor OR trailer) AND 3-4 similar cars in a "batch" build. With the cars, they get parts swapped amongst them to get the options I want with each one. One build usually lags due to a paint snafu or a ambitious modification. I have done a batch, of Challengers, a batch of Chevelles, a batch of Mustangs and a batch of B-body Pontiacs. A made feeble attempt at a batch of C3 Corvettes but lost enthusiasm. I am ready for paint on a slump-buster batch of car trailers. But the slump came back. Presently my bench is clear as I am working on slowly rebuilding a 1:1 Pontiac 455. I got the engine block back from the machine shop last week. I am presently grinding on the combustion chambers to unshroud the valves and reduce the compression a little.

I suggested to my buddy to go similar but different on his wheels for his Challenger R/T SE. He got compliments frequently. I even built a tribute of it.

Way cool tribute. Nice color combo.

Pretty color. Did the engine come from a flying saucer?

Thank you for the review. I always thought the front end was one of the best of the Colonnade era. pretty color.

My favorite are my 1 of 1 customized set of Enkei wheels.

Especially on on this

Steve, Very clever solution. I have never liked the slots either. Do you provide a place in the engine bay, magnetically, to store the hinges when the hood is closed?
