This Station Wagon is probably to new for you guys But I trow it in anyways It is the 1966 Chevy Chevelle from Revell. I removed a big portion of the roof and replaced it with a inner roof of green acetat and a upper roof of clear acetat to maka a effect of a glass roof. I removed the inner headlights and replaced the front grille with a custom grille from a parts box. I smooted out the engine hood totally by removing the 2 stock scoops and the center lip on top of the hood. I frenched 2 antennas on the right rear fender and replaced the rear lights with 6 seperate lights, thats actually artificial jewellery stones. I took the rims from a AMT´49 Ford´s crome tree and the tires are The Modelhaus # 427. Paint is Tamiya candy green with silver inlays plus Modelmasters green flake on the roof. Everything is topped with 3 layers of Tamiya pearl clear. Did i have fun building this ?..........You bet ! ;D

Thanks guys for all your comments.
That it realy something that matters when it comes to have the lust and right feeling, when youre building. Knowing that people like what your doing is like vitamines to your building avabilities. Thanks again.
Sorry I got so "deep" ;D
BTW , the reason why I´m not posting any new stuff, is that I´m about to built something untraditional, that don´t fit in here.

Kruzing, I am gonna use your idea and try to bash a '70 Buick GSX to look like a Vista Cruiser. Man, I LOVED them skylight roofs on those. This is a wicked-kool build. There ain't nothin' that I don't like on it, other than it ain't mine . Great job. Oh yeah, that grill threw me for a minute. I thought it was a Nova grill with the kustom treatment that ya' did. Still great work!
