    Yes, indeed. One of the best GM designs ever.

    Following. That is quite the fuzzy interior.

    You need not worry about the big block small block issue. Pontiac blocks went from 287 through 455 CID with the same external dimensions. There were some yearly changes for such things as water pump bolt count and upper radiator hose routing. Once you have a decent photo of a '64, 326, you will be good to go. I would recommend the 2 BBL. I am currently converting a 1966 Bonneville curbside to a full detail using a Revell parts pack 421. P.S. I vote for a gold interior.

    Thank you Gary. ? Thank you Garry. I agree. Thank you David. ? Thank you Bob, I made the diorama mostly for picture taking. It was a very fun project itself. Thank you Craig. ?

    Thank you for the compliments. I have some Camaro decals as well but they do not have the correct shape as the Chevelles have the pinstripe wrap around the front.

    My weakness is 68-70 Chargers. I got significantly impressed by them as a child. I have 2 builts and 9 unbuilts. Also 69-72 Pontiac Grand Prixs. I have 2 builts and 4 unbuilts and they are expensive!

    An alternate way of dealing with the gaps is to wick/fill it in with Testors window maker which dries crystal clear. It VISUALLY pulls color from both sides of the gap making it less visible. I have been using this technique for years to tone down the "air gap" between chrome bumpers and a painted body.

    Steve's results speak for themselves. Panel liner has a mild solvent effect on some surfaces which is OK in many instance. Though as you have discovered, it also takes a solvent to clean it up. If you find/create an equivalent acrylic-based home brew, then water will be your clean up. Alternately, clear acrylic coat your part(s) before weathering to act a sealing agent that is resistant to a solvent based clean up.

    This build was originally part of my Chevelle batch build in 2019. Due to all the test fitting and fabrication required this one was quite the challenge. However, I had a vision, and have now finally seen it through. The quality is not up to par because I had to handle it so much but it is "good enough". I am not sure I will ever take it to a show but at least I have one holy grail under my belt. Comments welcome. P.S. Does anyone have a spare set of AMT black 70 Chevelle hood stripes to help me give it the final touch?

    Great job! I have always been a Rusty/MGD fan and I do not like beer.
  22. Bills72sj
    WOW! That is PRETTY!

    This is one of my favorites. I built one as a kid. I am waiting for my skills and bravery to get better before tackling a kit with opening doors.
  24. Bills72sj
    That certainly dos look very nice. Did you have as much "fun" as the rest of us with assembling the mirrors?

    Nice replica build. I built a couple of 72 Chevelles a few years back. One was an AMT and the other was an MPC. I knew the grille was wrong a soon as I laid eyes on it. Used it any way since it was a Day 2 build. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/147436-1972-heavy-chevy-chevelle-454-bench-seat-4-speed/#comment-2165851 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/147358-1972-chevelle-ss-454-star-spangled-blue-lacquer/#comment-2164399
