mikemodeler Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Nice build. I think MCW has a resin body for this year Chevy but it might be a Biscayne? He tends to offer the uncommon version of a car not usually available as a kit, like a Biscayne conversion for an Impala. MCW wesite:www.mcwautomotivefinishes.com
george 53 Posted November 12, 2010 Posted November 12, 2010 Mike, that's no Biscayne. It has a Caprice roofline on it. called a "Formal Roof' line by the plant. I THINK MCW only offers the Biscayne post coupe body. It looks REAL nice. Too bad it isn't around anymore, I'da got one. I LIKE the oddball stuff.
montelsc Posted November 12, 2010 Author Posted November 12, 2010 Hey george i think it was supposed to be a caprice but there are no badges or emblems on the body but it has ss on the grill from the ss impala kit. I have seen a body with skirts and caprice written on it it was really nice.

MCW wesite:www.mcwautomotivefinishes.com Thanks heyyou just went on that site he has some nice stuff. I asked him about some hubcaps for a 71 satellite thanks for the recomendation.
charlie8575 Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 From the look of the roof, you could use an MCW Biscayne as a start for a Caprice. The roofs aren't too different, merely remove the posts and window frames, substitute the corrected interior, photo-etch trim, and you have a Caprice. Nice job on that build, for the record.

Charlie Larkin Thanks for the comment charlie i did start out to build a caprice the front seat is a bench seat and i made a colum shift instead of a console shift but it ended up as an impala il post a pic later of the interior thanks again charlie
