Impala_Ant Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 This is an original MPC 1971 Chevell SS kit that I converted to a plain jane Malibu. This is a replica of the first new car my father ever bought. I got the straight 6 from the parts box, along with an automatic transmission, converted the grille to a non SS using the bowtie from the grille of an 90's AMT silverado kit, made a vinyl roof from blue painters tape painted black, used the bench seat from the Revell 69 Nova COPO kit, made a column shift from extra plastic I had, and made a single exhaust. The flat hood is a resin piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feretzrus Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I love this, a '71 Chevelle/Malibu this isn't a 454, 4-on-the-floor SS. A beautifully done plain jane. THIS is what people drove back in the day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
