68 Chevelle front & rear bumpers and grille

[Platerpants]

Currently looking for parts for my dad, he is building a replica of my uncles 68 chevelle convertible with 500+ HP JEGS engine using the amt 69 kit. He is looking for the tail lights, front and rear bumpers. Modelhaus is down and currently has an extremely long wait time. Any help would be appreciated

Platerpants, the grill and bumper from the AMT 68 El Camino would fit. As for the tail lights, would you condsider scratch building them?

Actually found the bumpers from the old 68 chevelle kit on ebay for my dad so that's what he is going to use. Thanks though.

 When Modelhause come's back up to take orders you can get a 68 trans kit from them I have 2 of them it has all you need the dash hood frond grill and bumper rear bumper and red tail lights all you have to do is a little body work on the back of the 69 and your home free it's the time it take's to get the parts and do the work.!

Yeah I wish I coulda done the modelhaus stuff for my dad but my uncle is a little impatient that's why he never continued to build model like my dad. My dad is working on the rear end of the kit to work with the old 68 rear end. Here's some pictures for y'all seeing how he never gets on the forums with his account im always the middle man...

Sorry, not quite

That was one of the first things I tried when the ElCamino kit first came out. It's a bit too wide.

Someone could try cutting the front of the '69 body and spreading it a little to fit the '68 part. Don't know if it would be noticeable or not though.

You might also have to widen the hood a bit or maybe use the '68 hood. 

Dosen't help with the back bumper and tailights or interior , of coarse.

 

Someone should try it.

that was my dad's other option but like I said I found the bumpers on ebay. He did make a high capacity oil pan for it too. I almost feel this topic needs moved  now. But thanks for the suggestions guys. I will make sure my dad does some posting related to this eventually. He also is working on a color me gone car and has a few other Mopars lined up if I can get him to become an active member.
