I mastered a 1968 Chevrolet 4 door sedan based on the Supernatural '67 Impala. I had a run of them cast and sold them on eBay some time ago but hadn't actually built one. Finally got around to it and thought I'd share the results. The engine is 3D printed (bought from eBay), and I added separate door handles from the '66 Chevelle wagon. Color is Butternut Yellow touchup paint. Note: There was no "250" badge for the front fender marker light. I should have sanded off the displacement badge, but didn't catch the error until the car was painted. What are you going to do? I went ahead and made a fictitious "250" badge.DSCN2120.JPG

Excellent work on the conversion Tom!? I owned two of these in my younger days. I was my Dads, and the other I bought from a buddy. Both had the 250 six and 3 in the tree.?

Great looking year model conversion plus going with a sedan body style. Have you done a two - door version of a '68 Bel Air?

Very nicely done. The hubcaps are accurate as well.

I would like to build a '66 Belair version using the '67 four door kit to replicate my car.

Definitely a "missing link" for sure. Excellent conversion work & a beautiful build! The paint is gorgeous, and the weathering on the underside looks great. I would love to pick up one of these.

I love seeing unusual subjects on this forum and your BelAir certainly fits the bill! As I scrolled down through the photos, I fully expected to see a six cylinder under the hood, and there it was! Your paint finish is enviable. Great job overall!

Very cool. I love six cylinder cars and the fact it's a four door is awesome. An everyday family car. Not everyone owned an SS two door like the model factories would have you believe.
