Glad to see you back. Welcome to the South. Good luck on the job search , Roger. We are looking forward to see you back at the bench. Nice model room! I’m jealous.

Thank you, I’m trying Thank you Lenny. Don’t give me any ideas, I might try?. Luckily, I don’t have wiring that small.
-
Lenny, I guess you certainly could do that. I just happened to have both dashes and really wanted to have the proper contours in mine. On the later dash, the area at end of cluster is raised, the heater controls are recessed and the glove compartment is different than 71/72. I was trying to be more correct to my actual car. I agree, much easier to do the way you stated, it all matters how involved you want to be in your project.
-
Lenny, this is what I did. You can also see the major difference in contour near the heater controls. I hope this helps

Great paint. Decals look great, well done , Scott.
-
Cool, it’s like watching Full Custom Garage in scale.
-
Nice work so far. Interesting!
-
Lenny, you could do what I did with my 72 Demon resin build I am doing. The glove boxes are different on the newer dash, I cut out the sections of both dashes that I needed and grafted them. I then used one of the printed gauge faces on EBay to finish off.

Thank you very much! Thank you. I’ve been trying to move it along recently, but it has fought back a lot. I am still waiting on a couple items ( namely wheels/ tires, fuel pumps). I have too many big scale builds to get on.
-
Some more progress, started working on proper stance, scratch built pinion snubber, started wiring battery, added braided hose for nitrous, added decals for battery, fire extinguisher, nitrous bottle, installed monster tach, etc. Note: these are not the wheels that I will be using, still waiting for them.

That looks awesome, Bob! Thoroughly enjoyed build thread

Revell 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS Convertible (Resin)

Great looking work to this point! I absolutely love the interior -
I feel for you, 8 years ago, I fell and blew my back out at work. After 2 surgeries, the first one damage my L4 nerve, I have 3 numb toes, have to press down on my knee to brake after a while and have foot drop. Now, I wake up in agony with pain in my foot that feels like someone is trying to tear my foot off from the ankle. May you heal well, pain free. We look forward to more of your builds soon.

You could possibly use the post 72 Duster/ Dart dash from MPC
-
Wow! So cool to see one not built into a Max Wedge. Great color combo, looks great, thumbs up on wheel covers
-
Thanks for the heads up on that, Nicholas. I was just on their site, out on vacation, can’t order anything?
-
My mother had a 75 with same exact color combos. It was a nice cruising car with the swivel buckets. Coming along nicely
-
Looks really good. It definitely did need the hood stripes to set it off properly. I shouldn’t look, it makes me want to start another one of my Demons.
-
Looking good!
-
Nice engine detailing. I really like the linkage, spring, idle solenoid! Cool Bee
