[GTmike400]

Sweet garage! More pics of the car.

[primera man]

Have to agree with what has been said already about the rims and tyres.
I'm still finding it hard to believe you have chopped the roof off this classic car!!!

[11chevy]

thanks,

i'm sorry to shock you with my roof chopped,but the previous owner cracked it on all the lenghth so if i leave it the paint will crack too for the assembling,so...
but i'm more and more interested to do another next year but more detailled and with best finish,
more pics soon with the leather interior and new dash board,
thanks,

[SLAYTANIC_1134]

WOW!
Absolutely amazing, I like the paint and the wheel design the most. Very nice stance and tires could be a little bigger but not much! I can't believe the amount of detail on a 1/12 scale(I gotta. Are the wheels actually screwed on to the axles via lugnuts!?!
p.s. Does anyone know if there are any 1/12 Chevelles available??

yes that's right wheels are screwed on the axles via machined lugnuts,

but for 1/12 chevelles i think there is no models available,if one day it will be done i will be one of the first to buy it,

i currently work on the interior,new flocking floor,new seats(home made design with leather and seat belts),new dash board,and a little bit of sound(don't worry just a little),
unfortunatly pics in 2 weeks because i don't work fast because i'm not at home...
tahnks again,the engine bay is detailled again(more detailled)...

[1986Z28]

yeah a 1/12 chevelle would be nice, thats amazing that the wheels are actually held on with lugnuts

the "little brake" was the roof long and why are you so shocked by this chop?yeah i prefer it with it but the convertible is cool too,
it will be a modern street machine,and i am proud of it seeing from what i started,and i won't be able to build it stock because the previous owner lost some parts and when i received it there were not the stock wheels so it would be difficult to build a stock version(even if i like it but i like modified cars more)and i don't think it is not too "distressing",

thanks for the comments,

ok i agree but the brake can be fixed my sisters kid snaped of the roof on 1 of my models and that god put back on with no scars i modify models to but not to that extent i too take off the roof but what ever floats your boat my self i hate cab`s takes away the hola shape off the car and kinda destroys it im more off an old school style builder whene it comes to amcars but thats me

but stil a good build thow if exept for the roof chop and pshyco big rims

Revell-Monogram...
They released a 70 Chevelle SS454 in 1/24 scale back in the early-80's (still easily found) but never in 1/12. The only cars they've done in 1/12 are the '69 Camaro, '67 Stingray Coupe, and '57 Chevy Bel-Air. All of these kits were made from the 1/24 masters so it could feasibly be inexpensive to do, but they'd have to do more underhood work as the SS454 kit had the m/c, a/c, battery, and wheel-wells molded-into the engine compartment. The body was spot-on, though!

Hey Nicolas, I love your Convertible!! I give you points for " ORIGINALITY". Never seen or thougth of building a Convertible before WOW! I give you points for the wheels too.. you say you had to make them? Over here in the U.S. its really hard for us to find wheels so making them means you have a great talent. What machine did you make them with? When will you be done with the interior? I been waiting......
