Latest project is underway, building up the Revell 72 Cutlass using the Missing Link hardtop body.

I must say, this kit is a superb builder, the interior is especially nice.  I'm doing it box stock, just added flocking for the carpet.  Color coats are on the body, using 1972 silver pewter, along with the dark red interior, this thing just screams 70s GM...

As promised...DONE.  It was actually a pleasure building this one.  A total of one busy week at the workbench got this one in the finished category.  That's what happens when you're building a kit that you can enjoy so much.

Missing Link resin Supreme hardtop mated to the Revell 2 n 1 kit.  I built the kit components pretty much box stock.  New 'glass' was fabricated from K&S sheet.  Paint is automotive 1972 Olds silver-pewter, matched to a dark red interior...see first post for interior detail photos.  NY tags are from Best Detail.  Lot of BMF, but hard to see with the body being silver.

I highly recommend the Missing Link body, it was very easy to work with, needed very little clean up, and it mated well to the donor, just a little bit of trimming needed at the front windshield for a good fit.

Nice job  I like it. I'm wondering how it would have looked with a vinyl roof the same color as the interior to bring out that silver body

Absolutely gorgeous. I can't stop looking at the pictures. Also appreciate the information on the missing link body and the Revell chassis going together. Thank you.         Jeff

Very nice work, Tom. I really like the exhaust look- really looks like the car has been driven some, but is still new. How did you do the effects on it?
