'67 Revell El Camino custom

[vintageiron]

I am trying to make a 1967 Chevy El Camino out of two Revell kits; '66 El Camino and a '67 Chevelle. What I'd like to achieve someday is cut the nose off the chevelle and glue it to the El Camino tail and make any modifications to the El Camino to create a 1967 Chevy El Camino. It's been suggested to use a Dremel tool for this. Also another suggestion was an X-Acto razor saw. Do you have any suggestions on cutting and putting the two bodies together?

There were some great ideas in a topic I posted a few weeks ago here:http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.p...mp;#entry230353

(Rad '69 Olds-based 'Camino' by the way mhadman)

It will be sanded and any gaps filled of course. I'll use the interior and motor out of the 67 Chevelle kit just to make sure it's all correct. I'd like a bench seat in the El Camino, but will probably just use the Chevelle's buckets and be happy. It'll be a tricky project, but I'll get a lot of practice building the other kits before I attempt it I think, but any ideas on how to cut these?

Also, are there any resin '67 El Camino parts out there?

As a side note; Drag City Casting offers a '67 stock 'flat' Chevelle/Malibu hood. No 427 hood for the '67 Chevelle though...

Ok I'm trying to get a clear idea of where I should score this and make my cuts. Here are some photos of the Revell '67 Chevelle kit.

I am wondering if this might be the best cut?

...and what about here?

The fender seam doesn't look right to me...

Just cut the fenders only, that looks like teh best way to do it.

Imagine your taking them off a real car, thatswhat i do when building.

Models work just like the big stuff, only its twenty five times smaller

I do agree; cutting the whole front off seems better. Also as a side note, I bought some Goodmark fenders for my '67 and took off the dented originals and I had a hell of a time trying to get the Goodmarks to fit right. I actually ending up keeping the originals and just welded in patches. Replacing fenders on the big boys can be a pain too it seems.
