Bob Ellis Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 I remember the new Chevelle SSs in the showroom in 1972. They never seemed to have a 454 just 350s and 402s. This kit is how I remember them This model combines the 1972 AMT Chevelle front clip and the ERTL 1968 Elcamino.
Bob Ellis Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 Plastikote lacquer from auto parts store that looked very close to a photo that I had, Clear over it later.
GMCMAN52 Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 nice build....you used to see them every where in the 70's. My bubby's dad owned a metal fab shop and had one that was gold and a 454 as his company use car
Bob Ellis Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 They rusted out here in the Northeast, like all the cars
Snake45 Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Very, very nice indeed! I've wanted one of these for years. Even have a Jimmy Flintstone body, but have been afraid to try fitting the windows in that thing.....
Bob Ellis Posted June 7, 2016 Author Posted June 7, 2016 It's not that bad to convert. just find an early ERTL 1972 CHevelle with the correct grille.
GTJUNIOR Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Looks great with the Chevelle front end. Very nice work.
oldnslow Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 really nice, just a suggestion, add some black around the headlights and turn signals and you're good.
Bob Ellis Posted June 7, 2016 Author Posted June 7, 2016 really nice, just a suggestion, add some black around the headlights and turn signals and you're good. I agree about the headlight accent
Bob Ellis Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 I think this is Sunflower Yellow. I am sure MCW can supply the paint if not at the auto parts store.
