Street Sleeper-Done (sort of)

[Lizard Racing]

I posted a starter thread in the WIP forum.  I wanted a 4-door Biscayne that looked like an old grandma car but with the 427 engine.  The only giveaway is the "427" badge on the front fender.

The decal is from a Corvette sheet (thanks VRM).  The kit does have a bench front seat which adds to the illusion.  The molded in black was a hurdle to overcome, but is consistent with the vehicle.

It started out with the Supernatural Impala hardtop kit that I modified to look like a Biscayne by adding the door post, window frames and removing the Impala tail lights.

The kit has good chassis detail without being too fiddly.

I still have to dry-brush the grille (chrome plating is a bit thin here) and get the hood to fit properly.

I couldn't duplicate the Biscayne trunk lid, as it includes  the trim around the tail lights and the center part below the lock.  But I hope I at least created the illusion of the cheap model Chevy.

As previously stated, this is one of those kits with a lot of possibilities.  Four-door versions are so seldom done as kits. I noticed some of you are building the Supernatural version.

Thanks for looking. I hope all this makes sense.

Nice sedan conversion. I was wondering when someone would do this.

Looks good. Yeah, the hood fit on this kit sucks. I had to grind down the top of the core support to get mine to shut all the way.

Here are the two extreme 1967 Chevys: the green one is the Biscayne 4-door sedan; the yellow one a fully-optioned Impala SS427 2-door hardtop.

Which one would get takers in a stop-light drag race (at least for a while)?  Which one would the cops chase first?

Back in the day a buddy-o-mine had a 68 Biscayne in an awful repaint flattish green. He drove it for awhile, then told me he it was ready to blow! So he junked it. A week later we saw it driving around town... the new owner worked at a local shopping center and we’d see it parked there for years!

Nice!
