Greg Myers Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 I have thought of going the other way, Monogram Sedan Delivery into an El Camino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Austin Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I should point out that Chevy sedan deliveries used the wagon roof panel, so the roof rib pattern engraved in the '60 Chevy kit are incorrect (See ref. picture-car not mine). When I set custom project aside I was wondering just how I was going to replicate the roof. I think I'll try an overlay of scribed sheet.

421gto Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Liking the '59, I used the roof on a Trumpeter '60 Bonne as was going/trying to convert it to a '60 2dr Parisienne station wagon. But it got stalled as wasn't sure how to do the side curving windows, so instead its to be a phantom '60 Pontiac sedan delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Are you only going to use single tail lights ? Looks like there is room for dual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
421gto Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Original plan was single as thats what the wagons had in 60, but 2 years later and I dont know what I did with the bits I removed so I'll press on as is.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordairgtar Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 On 9/12/2019 at 6:45 PM, Greg Myers said: BAD Actor. another new hood treatment. This time it's a staggered NACA ducted hood. The large roof insert is gone and in it's place a smaller moon roof. Check out the full length front spoiler, no more chin whiskers. Rear wheel well shape was changed as well in this issue.

Oldcarfan27 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Long ago, I started a 59 and 60 SDs using the Revell Impalas, but the tops looked chopped - too long and too low. I also had to straighten out the slanted door opening. But fixing the roof discrepancy alluded me, until using scribed sheet plastic was brought up on this thread! That would also fix the sunroof hole at the same time. Great idea, Brian!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I tried and failed to make a SD from the revell impala. I just scam parts from the remains now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Austin Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Let us know how the roof comes out, as my project hadn't progressed any further since I posted. :-) I did determine that my attempt to use a '59 El Camino tailgate (whole) wasn't going to work with the Revell body, so I carefully cut the bit I cut off at the rear and glued it back in. I'll then need to make the upper part of the tailgate. It should actually be a top-hinged hatch, so I'll probably cut the window frame from sheet plastic.

Draggon Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I like that Greg. Love the engine detail. Are those the ancient Revell funny car slicks? They fit this quite nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 (edited) Too bad this was never available in stock form since it was the last big Chevy sedan delivery. Another couple of unfortunate omissions were the '39 Chevy coupe and sedan delivery in stock form. Edited December 12, 2020 by Motor City .

Greg Myers Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Yes, Revell big slicks. I was surprised the Monogram wheels fit as well Glenn. I agree Jim, that was a miss call on their part, both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Original Monogram issue, #6752, from 1970: Revell-Monogram "Street Fighter two" reissue, #85-2597, from 1999: 85-4262, from 2009: 85-4262, from 2014, slightly tweaked box art: Kind of amazing Revell was able to revert back to the original after making so many significant changes over the years. Not complaining, though. The Quicksilver version isn't horrible, and definitely has that mid '70s street machine vibe, but the Bad Actor version...just trying too hard. The last issue was made overseas, and since the Revell-Tom Daniel partnership seems to be dead, don't hesitate if you want one and find one of these. Here's a good look at the parts, though everything looks too glossy (and the decal sheet are from newer issues) to be 1970 vintage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSheep214 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Heh... talk about a blast from the past. My first was Quicksilver then the other was Bad Actor. Both Monogram kits. Loved them both. Still want another or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Myers Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Nothing wrong with the Bad Actor. If anything it has better rear wheel wells allowing bigger tires to fill the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the image from a completed eBay listing, so not mine. Would be neat to see Revell or Atlantis reissue it in that version, though.
