aaronball Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 This is a 55 Chevy I'm working on, hoping to make it turn out like the one from the 1971 movie Two-Lane Blacktop. More photos to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronball Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 Thanks for that bit of info. This is a Monogram's 55 Chevy hardtop. Only Thing I could find to work with. I plan on adding posts for the window frames. Still looking for the correct set of wheels and have lots more to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Irwin Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 You are off to a great start! I have seen the right wheels in resin on ebay recently so yo might be lucky there. As far as the roof is concerned, the sedan roofs are much different, not just the post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the roof is concerned, the sedan roofs are much different, not just the post I see, well I'll continue with this one until I can find the correct model. Thanks for the info on the wheels.

Guest Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 You could use the body from the AMT '55 Chevy. It's a post body and should fit the Revell chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Irwin Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 It couldn't have been easy to build a cowl for both a tilt front and open doors, have any close up picts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those seems hard to find. I looked at getting a Diecast on, but not sure I want to go that route.

I haven't done the cowl yet. Actually to busy this week to do anything on it, so no new pics yet. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Aaron,those old AMT '55 Chevies are a dime a dozen on ebay and can be found easily in other online shops. I think the hardtop will look cool done up like the TLB '55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's back to the fabrication process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
