JJ Deuce Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Need a '70 grille for one of my kits. Before I try to scratch one I wanted to see if anyone is making them already.
Matt T. Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Moebius should be releasing a '70 soon. I saw an image of pre-production parts from Moebius that showed '69 thru '72 grilles.

jeffs396 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Hopefully the aftermarket will step up and offer corrected resin grilles for each year...
mike 51 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Hopefully the aftermarket will step up and offer corrected resin grilles for each year...yes..hopefully. Moebius' apparent success with their "good enough" approach is unlikely to bother fixing their obvious errors...

Nova-ss Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 What is the problem with the kits...I must not have heard.
DaveM Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Headlight buckets are a bit large, making the outer segments of the grille a bit small. I didn't notice it at first either, but now that it has been pointed out to me, I see it every time I look at the model. I'll probably live with mine the way they are.
mk11 Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 After taking some measurements on my own 1:1 '68 and doing some surveying of available kits, I've found that the headlight doors on the revell '64/'65 chevy pickup kits are a near perfect match for frontal area and could be grafted in. There may be some gifted individual here that may want give this a try. While this issue may seem not be on the magnitude of problems with Lindbergs' '61 Chevy or Revells' Charger, this basic grill design (with variances in the horizontal bars) was the face of Ford trucks for three years and it would reflect well on Moebius to take time to amend this. Nothing this flawed would fly on any of their other subjects so I hope they seriously consider it. mike
Travis T Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 There are pictures of a 1970 grill up on the Facebook page of the guy that built the model for the box for the 1969 kit. He's building the box art 70 model now I think, it's supposed to be a short bed.
