Bob Ellis Posted June 5, 2016 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted June 7, 2016 Share 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..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ellis Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 It's not that bad to convert. just find an early ERTL 1972 CHevelle with the correct grille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Ellis Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
