Repstock Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 any updates on this? Yes. I'm taking the Chevelle with me this Sunday (Oct. 7), and giving it to Kevin of Missing Link. I understand Jeff Ballard will be involved as well. Jeff is really good at getting that final polished look on a master. I'm looking forward to building these kits. I must add that I have no idea how long it will take between the time I hand over the master and the kit becomes available.

Opinions?

MAGNUM4342 Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 I'm a big fan of mix-n-match (commonly referred to as kitbashing) and the more options there are the better, but if I gotta pick one I concur, let's do buckets and console. The Laguna deserves it.

W-409 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Posted October 3, 2012 Just came across this today: Does anyone know who is the builder, or what is used to build it?
MAGNUM4342 Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Just came across this today: Does anyone know who is the builder, or what is used to build it? That is most likely the 1974 Chevelle by AMT (or the Model King issue) converted to street form.
Repstock Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 It's going to be cool when these Chevelles start getting built. I can't wait to see what everyone does with it!
bandit1 Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 It's going to be cool when these Chevelles start getting built. I can't wait to see what everyone does with it! At least you know one person that will modify it to be a Buick Century instead?
W-409 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Posted October 3, 2012 It's going to be cool when these Chevelles start getting built. I can't wait to see what everyone does with it! Once we get the '74 Chevelle, this is what I'll be doing ! http://tapahtumakuvia.kuvat.fi/kuvat/74+Chevrolet+Chevelle+Stocker/ I don't know how there are always cars in my family, where are no scale models except the '60 Impala. Oh and did I say that glad to hear the progress with the '73 Chevelle! Going to be another cool one when available in Resin.
charlie8575 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I do intend on doing the Laguna next. Bench seats or buckets and console? Opinions? Both? I like bench and bucket options, depending on what I want to build. Charlie Larkin

cooltoys1 Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Hi Jeff, Doors are exactly the same, just the glass is different shape.
