PeterLepold Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hi buddys I'm back...! The Handball season of my youth-team is over and I have more time for model building. BTW: My youth-team (and I as the coach) are champions of the season 2006/2007...! Now to the new project I'm build. A good friend and me thought about it, how could have looked the '77 Monte Carlo as a convertible. “How could have looked†for the reason, because Chevy never build a convertible of the Monte Carlo series. And the '77 is the most beautiful Monte Carlo, Chevrolet placed ever on its wheels. So I sawed off the roof of the Revell Lowrider kit….! Now pictures of it. I put some additional chrom trim on its sides and some plastic sheet around of the coaming. The interior I detailed with: - new gauges and chrom trim around the gauges - carpet flocking - belts - sarter lock with key - additional chrom trim - steering wheel from the '70 Monte Carlo and some more. The convertible cover I build scratch from plastic sheet. I'll paint it in black and white like the '70s Chevelles 454 with the stripes on the hood and trunk.

PeterLepold Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Hi Thanks for the comments. What happened with the 77 monte carlo you were building as Dale Earnhardts ride? You'll find it here: That ain't no car, that's a racing machine....! It is finished since July last year. Cheers Peter BTW: Perhaps I'll build another '77 MC (for me it is the most beautiful car of the Montes). Perhaps a four door Station Wagon. I have so many ideas in me brain, sometimes too much ideas...!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygre Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Peter, Very nice indeed. Excellent workmanship and a fine "what if" scenario. The '77 Monte really does look better as a droptop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterLepold Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hi The '77 Monte Convertible is nearly finished. Some details I have to do to finish it. Here are some pictures of the car: Before the convertible top was painted. Interior is white, black and anthrazit with wooden parts (steering wheel, parts on the dashboard). Now the convertible top is painted in white, all chrome trim added with Bare Metal Foil. The front view. SS454, a hot and powerfull engine in an elegant car. Interior again. What a beautiful line. The line looks still much better with the Convertible than with the Coupe. Greetings from Germany Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
