My son asked me to replicate his bosses '66 Chevelle. He's retiring and want to give it to him as a gift. His car is a non SS model, (I think), and the emblems differ from a big block car, his runs a 327. I've search for days looking for Decals/photo etched pieces to no avail. These specifically, are what I need. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the reply Gerry, I'd seen this product but was wondering what else may be available. That bottom emblem goes on the tail panel.

When it comes to photoetch emblems and scripts, there's MCG, and then there's one-off items that are here today, gone tomorrow...IF you can even find them.

Depending on which kit you are using for the base, you may want to find a Revell '66 El Camino kit as well for some parts. That kit would provide you with a correct style grill and hood for a non-SS car. The other part you might want to find if your son's employer doesn't have bucket seats would be either a rear seat from another '66 Malibu or the Revell '66 Malibu station wagon. That seats would have the correct seat pattern for a Malibu level interior trim. The front seat back would need a little modification to replicate a folding seat back. For the small block Chevrolet engine, the 'Revell '69 Nova SS kit has a very correct looking engine and even the correct exhaust manifolds for the '66 Malibu.

Thanks for the reply, good info. I already swiped the engine from the Nova, and I know I have the El Camino, just gotta find it. The 1:1 car has buckets and a console so I think I'm OK there. I. Would swear I once saw a decal sheet with various emblems & engines callouts etc. But I have no idea where.

Check with both Keith Marks and Rays Kits. They have decal sheets with emblems for some cars. If I was on my laptop, I'd post links.
