I love that one. It brings back memories. I bought one of those when it was new, and built it right away. I still have it, even though it has not seen the light in over 25 years. I lost a side marker light from it, but otherwise it is still there. One day, I may reassemble it.

That looks great!!! I just picked up a Revell "Midnight Cowboy" for the Holmes 440 rig to do a future project. I sold a couple of them in a past life as a truck salesman, so I am familiar with them, and I know what I want to build. I just have to make time.

Looking at that one makes me want to get back to work on my '63. I've decided that it will be a mild custom, as I cannot stand the crooked mouldings, so I am going to craft a new set, and put a set of Radirs and pin whites on it, along with a Revell Parts Pack 427 Engine from the parts department

great concept and execution!!!

I love it, and it looks mighty familiar.

Absolutely!!!! I just picked up one of these for a nostalgia fix. It does not look too bad. I am going to compare it with the MPC '92, and the Revell '85 that I have. I built and still have 3 of the Revell 1/16 Camaro Kits and loved them, and I did a MPC Pace Car back when it was new in 1982, and it is still on the shelf in all of it's dusty glory. I am going to clean it up, but not restore it as I want to preserve it as is. It's all there.

I saw one of those at our club meeting yesterday. I wouldn't touch it, as I was already not feeling well.

I love that Bird! I have done a '68 and a '71 Town Landau, and I have a '67, '69, 70 and '71 to do one day. That is one fantastic build!!!

Lovely!!!!

Beautiful!!!!!

Fantastic!!!!

you and me both. I had a white '83, a black '84 with the 5 Liter HO, and those loud red-Orange seats with "CAMARO" all over them, and a Copper '85 with a 5-spd stick for my demos. I got a kick out of all of those. I never had the AMT kit, just the MPC Indy pace cat that I still have. I may have to pick one of these up, and find a set of Decent Eagle GT Tires for it..

I've been there, done that, and am considering Fotki.

Yes I am looking for a new host. I cannot pay the price of Photobucket, and my old Snapfish account does not work. I did some work on the Bonneville, adding the Vinyl Roof Trim mouldings. The car is going to be a hodge podge of parts, as it has a Modelhaus hood (does not fit flush), and bumpers. It's been primered, and is ready for paint. I painted the interior Black a long time ago when I found a set of '67 Bonneville front seats years ago. I thought I had a complete kit, but I sold the one I had off, and kept this one.

I like that pearl white. To date, I have built three of those kits, One White with Turquoise Interior, One Black on Black, and a Red on Red Hardtop kitbashed with the Time Machines Resin Body.I love those kits, as well as the real Car, as I drove one my Dad had when I was in High School. It was a bomb, but I liked driving it. I am not going to do a build of it, as I have a promo of the car (Beige Hardtop with an off White interior).

That looks great as is. It does not need any stripes.

That is quite handsome Steve. I went to work on my Bonny, and I found that I was missing the firewall and the core support. I am going to use '70 Bonneville parts for those missing items. I installed the vinyl roof mouldings; and blocked the body. I cleaned the resin '67 GP up, and it looks fine. I have to scratch-build some tail lamps for thr Bonny as they've missing in action.

In my humble opinion Historic Racing Miniatures does a fantastic 63 Corvette Split Window transkit to be combined with the Revell 1967. It's not cheap, but it is far better than anything else out there. It has a correct set of KH Aluminum Knockoff wheels, and a correct Fuelie Intake. You are on your own for the chrome and aluminum plate. Combined with either the VRM Corvette decals, or the Model Car World Photoetch, and an accurate Factory color, and a beautiful replica can be had.

The onlt "foible" I have found in the three I built is that the windshield is a little fiddly to install cleanly. There is no surface to add any glue to it I friction fit the glass in, and hit a dot of watch crystal cement to the corners on the inside after I install the windshield frame into the car. Don't think I am crazy, but I have 7 more of them in the stash.

Eric, Several years ago, I did a restoration of a '71, and I have a '72 , '73, '74 and 75 to bring back to life. Like Steve wrote in his thread, The Model Car Garage '76 Caprice set gives you the Impala Custom Scripts for the sail panels. The '65 Chevelle set has the C-H-E-V-R-O-L-E-T letters for the front of the car. The font is slightly different, but should work. I used them on my '69 SS427 build. I am sorry that I cannot post any pictures of my builds, as my pictures are in the Photobucket universe for now.

Good luck on that fantastic score!!!!

I am enjoying this one.

Very nice!!!!!
