The Bellagio Custom 1962 Chevy Bel Air

[robertburns]

Hello all,

I'd like to introduce my first resin car body. This is a custom car called "The Bellagio". It's based on the 1962 Chevy Bel Air. The resin body is a conversion for the AMT Ertl 62 Chevy kit. One must buy the 62 Chevy for the hood, bumpers, head and tail lights, plus the Revell C5 coupe for the glass and interior. Builder must kitbash or scratchbuild a chassis.

These will be sold for a limited time for $25 each, plus $7 shipping within the U.S. Please e-mail me for international destinations.

I take MOs and Pay Pal to this e-mail address:

Thank you,

Robert

interesting idea..... but why such a long hatchback and not a trunk?

Thanks ROS. It doesn't have to be a hatchback if you don't want it to be

[robertburns]

Since I want to sell more of these items, the price has been reduced to $15.

Thank you,

Robert

I might be interested. Robert, what else do you offer?

[Gregg]

Robert does some great work!

I looked at the "trunk" area, or lack thereof, and I see a trunk, IMHO.

Why not make your kit, that you buy, open from the rear to the back of the window?

The lines are there, and yes, it's super long trunk, but that would mean more room for my photo gear, right?

Robert did a fantastic tear drop kit that I have (ashambably) not finished, although I do have koa wood floors in it.

Robert, I am trying to set up and do another show here probably in February, which will be the start of the MCM-NNL National series of shows across the country.

I'll post more info this week.

Guys, Pick up this kit, and BUILD IT!!!!!!

Nothing else car related, but I'll be offering more items later on.

Thanks

For what its worth from one who's been doing masters (and selling resin) for a few years.....your casting looks great,but you might think about doing a hood and including it(for a few bucks more) From your pictures,it looks like the stock hood might need some 're-contouring' to fit your body at the cowl. Believe it or not,this WILL make a big differance to some prospective buyers................Steve Zimmerman,aka the'Z'man

Thank you for the advice, Steve. I'll probably do that. Also, do you have any bodies you want me to mold?

Thanks, Robert

These are so cool, I just ordered one.

As for the he back. It looks fine to me, but It would be easy enough to rescribe a trunk.

Robert, how about building the 789? I would definitely buy one of those also.

I can't wait to build the Bellagio.

Or maybe an El Camino bed?

This body was really nice and needed a very small amount of cleanup.

Cool! Are you going to make it an opening trunk or do an El Camino?

Thanks, R

[Scalefinishes]

El Camino, I almost have the bed floor made. I'm waiting for a 62 Chevy model before I build the sides. As soon as I get the interior done I'll post more pics.

Due to a series of setbacks this had taken the back burner. Now it's coming together!

I just got the bed roughed in. Here's a pic.

I'm off work all weekend, and plan to get this finished by Saturday at the latest. It should be in paint by then also.

Updates as they come.
