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

Very nice!

Well done!

Unique build. Following.

I have been using uBlock Origin for YEARS. I NEVER get pop ups and I watch You Tube a lot.

I got these from Auslowe. They are resin and come with lenses. They were not chromed. I used BMF for that. Not sure if you are looking for Quad headlights or not.

I am glad you like them. The ones on the 1:1 are the only set in the world detailed as they are. They were born with gold anodized spokes but have been painted with the same paint used for the hood and trunk. The perimeter bolts have been all changed from black anodized allen bolts to polished stainless steel bolts. The washers under the bolts have all been painted from natural aluminum to gloss black. The hoops were polished after media blasting and the clear powder coated. The chrome center caps are from a black and silver version of the same style wheel. The Pontiac medallions were custom made for me from a guy in the Czech Republic.

I still have my 1:1. My buddy commisioned a wooden version of it in probably around 1:18. I made a 1:25 scale version with a marginal skillset years ago. I even made a 1:64 diecast from a Johnny Lightning. I now have correct 3D printed rims and another mint unbuilt to take another swing at the 1:25 version.

I am liking the flat top sleeper. Nice job on the headache rack. I had some hexagonal sprue that was just begging to be a headache rack.

Then you may be down to making them yourself. The key is to get the clearest, straight on side view then manipulating the file. I print mine on an inkjet.

After viewing them all twice. I like D followed by 2.

I have been leaning towards getting this... https://www.ebay.com/itm/325372061702

You should make resin copies of your bumper and valence. I would pay $15-20 to get results like that.

Awesome job on well... EVERYTHING!!!!

I missed the start of this build but shall follow it now. I have built the T600 and the Canepa both. One got the kit chrome grille. The other one got "corrected".

Any pics? Was it actually offered in a kit?

Congratz on a completed and unique build.

Wow! You have done some really nice work with all of those classics. Especially great on the emblems. ?

Following, I built one of these in copper and another one in silver for a slot car hobbyist.

You did a great job! I think this kit was one of my very 1st semis I built as a teen in the 70's. (I was getting bored with the low parts count cars at the time.)

Be careful, these get out of hand pretty quickly. I blew WAY over my original $100 budget because it was so much fun.

Very creative work on those two. Just like real rat rods.

I have been slowly tinkering with this long term project in between tasks on other builds. I am finally nearly done. It is in the shop getting front brakes.

I found one pic at the end of of thread. He nailed it.

Hmmm...
