Revell 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS Convertible (Resin)


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,with warmer weather out it's hard not to think about summer nights and cruisin in a convertible with the top down.That's what's inspired this build,i'm using an old Shawn Carpenter resin convertible,i bought back in 2001.IMG_6464.thumb.JPG.4f6d406d257cc780c143429feea1ca67.JPG

The plan was to paint the car Evening Orchid  Poly but the color didn't flatter the body lines at all!!.So going with code 983 Goodwood Green which is very close in hue to code JJ Cypress Green metallic.IMG_6463.thumb.JPG.7dee4a925013ee385c3a02d6d720eca6.JPG

Since the car will 327 powered i robbed the 327 from the 64 Impala,i also have the MCG P/E set as well and some extra parts from the parts box IMG_6466.thumb.JPG.4a94e39f166d90b8800cb2b4e8eddc51.JPGIMG_6467.thumb.JPG.35edd3ab43c596f6b8d3e1c7e9859605.JPG

Since the impala has a auto transmission,the plan was to modify the chevelle console but the auto/manual consoles are quite different so i just cut the transmission off a vette engine and mated it to the impala block.That's all the progress so far.🤠IMG_6479.thumb.JPG.c0a13a902adbedc1cd2a1282decbc775.JPG
