1975 Monte Carlo

[Wylde]

I converted the Revell Lowrider 77 Monte Carlo  snap kit into a 75 with my own 3d modeled and printed parts. I also have a 74 conversion kit. I owned a 1:1 of this car in this exact color in between 1992 and 2001 and it was a great car.

I owned one and had to have a model of it. This was painted in MCW Bahama blue exactly like my 1:1 was. I modeled and 3d printed the conversion kit myself and converted the Revell Lowrider 77 Monte Carlo snap kit.

Really nice build! Tell us more about the parts you had to 3D-print to create this conversion.

Now that is one nice looking Monte, great job bud.

[Tom99]

Nice.

Very sharp conversion and a beautiful job finishing your model!  Plus, unlike so many well intentioned conversions, this one actually looks real.  Congrats!!!!.....TIM

Nice Monte! Beautiful color, very smooth paint. The vinyl roof is well done also. Thank for sharing.

Yes please! That makes me drool. Are you selling the parts? Do you have parts to do a conversion to a 73?

Great looking body conversion. The wheels you used look like you may have added some Corvette 15x8 Rally wheels.

I modeled in my CAD the whole front from the front edge of the hood forward including the bumper. The rear, I modeled from just below the trunk lip, tail lights and rear bumper. Both 74 and 75 are done and working on a 73 conversion. Last I will do a 76 conversion which will be super minor, basically grille and tail lights as I believe the bumpers are the same as the 77. If not, they will be corrected also. My goal is to have 73 - 77 Monte Carlos. I have 5 Revell 77 Monte kits to pull it off.

I also made a bench seat to fit in that kit because I never had those fancy swivel buckets. My version 4 now has clear lens headlights.

Good looking Monte my brother had a 74...

[michelle]

looks great 

[charger74]

It looks very good. I will buy a 73 convertion for sure 

[Oldcarfan27]

Great conversion you did. Front and back ends came out really nice. 

Reminds me of the 75 that my uncle owned back then.  His was white with blue landau top and blue velour interior. Classy car! His was the first car I ever saw with power windows and AM/FM stereo - I thought I was in a limousine!

In my opinion, it was the nicest car he ever owned. Later he traded it in on a Ford Futura, and they went downhill from there. Yawn. ??

Beautiful build! Hard to believe it´s a snap kit!
