I have several of those kits, and when I built mine, I did it as a phantom Z16 convertible. I never liked how they did the roof. My first car was a 65 Malibu, which was a mess that never got to what I da n Ted it to be. A lot of years ago, I. built a R & R Resin 65 Chevelle Malibu SS trans kit that was mastered from a 65 Craftsman body with an open hood and underhood detail. At this time, I have a Craftsman built up 65 Malibu SS in my collection to be restored. I plan to correct the roof of the Revell 65 to build an accurate Z16, and maybe a Malibu or 300 Deluxe from my other kits. As far as your build goes, make it what you want. One day in my travels, I saw a beautiful white 65 Chevelle street machine. It had a nice stance. A set of modern 18" wheels, a trick interior, and a healthy small block or LS Motor. They make nice street machines

I bought a couple of sets of Bostrum seats for a future project with this in mind. I'm glad I bought those kits before the price went up. By the way Bill, your build looks great.

Thanks for the help Bill. As far as I know, There was no such thing as a Belvidere in 64 with Bucket Seats, They all had bench seats. I want to build The Lawman, The California Flash, Melrose Missle, Ramchargers 64 Dodge 440, The Dodge Boys 64 Dodge, Color Me Gone, and the Black Arrow 65 Belvidere I. And those are the Chrysler products. I have not gotten into the Ford or GM stuff yet. If I last long enough, I'm going to take a year and do Drag cars from the 60's. That will freak some folks out.

Looks great Bill. Thanks for publishing the pictures of the one to one car. It's going to help me build my kit, as I am going to do some 60's Super Stocks.

I feel sorry for you.

Albert was a true friend. R.I.P.

Here's an original AMT 66 Impala Super Sport Convertible I did several years ago. I did some upgrades on it, but I had to do it. The next one I do will be from a Revell 66 Hardtop, if you can get one. A resin version based on that kit would be much more feasible.

An M80 would be the ticket for those.

Nice work Gary.

Nice work!

that is very nice. I gotta get myself together to build one of mine.

Beautiful.

Interesting project! I worked for a Lotus Dealership in the early nineties. The Esprits were interesting cars to say the least. They handled like big go carts in my opinion. I bought a couple of the Monogram kits back in the day, and gave one to my boss as a gift, as I built it to his specifications. He was very appreciative to say the least. He gave me one of each new Chevrolet promo for two years when they came in. And to this day, we are still friends. I love the mods you are making to this kit.

Those are the 68 Camaro SS Wheelcovers. AKA 63 Chevy Impala SS Wheelcovers, found in the AMT and Revell kits.

Missing Link resin has those wheel covers. I have some for an 80 Monte Carlo Build.

My head is hurting looking at Fireball's latest goodies. I haven't ordered these wheel covers yet, but I plan to. I have a lot of '67 Camaros I can build in my collection, including an original 67 rebuilder. I have an original SS Hood for it, and I need two front tires anyway. It should come apart easily. Even though this looks great, the latest Revell offerings are not too objectionable to me. I built one when it first came out, and I like it. This my bear of a project, This is an original MPC 68 Camaro SS body, mounted on a Revell 69 Camaro SS Chassis. This thing has been a bear to work on. Fireball's 68/69 Camaro Wheel covers, or Dog Dishes on steelies may be the ticket for this one. And yes I have a 68 Interior for this one.

Very nice Curt.

I know nothing about NASCAR, so they will not get my money.

Good luck on this one. I boogered up one of those as a kid when it was new. The only Aston Martin I have is the Monogram DB4, which is alright with me. I had a Doyusha kit with the figures, ands got a king's ransom for it when I sold it. I can't wait!

Looks great to me!!!!!

This is a hard one to nail in scale. The AMT 65 GTO has so many foibles. I have a couple from the original pressing. An Annual and a Tiger Box. One of these days I may give it a whirl. I have a lot of projects inline, so it will be a long time. I'm leaving it to you Steve.

Lookin' good!

Excellent ideas. I plan to do something similar in the future.

This is what I would want.

Raoul crafted up a very nice 69 Javelin SST Resin Piece, that those "Big Bad" stripes will work well on for my purposes. and I would love to see a set of '68 Javelin Stripes for this forlorn promo that I plan to strip and have the chrome redone. Please Ray.
