Default 1970 L S-6 Chevelle convertible diecast

Attached are some photos of the upcoming release from Lane Collectibles (Exact Detail) LS-6 convertible. They are doing both the coupe and convertible in a variety of colors. What you see here is only the prototype which had approximately 51 errors still needing to be fixed. As of my last correspondence, all of these are being fixed on the final release. Pay close attention to the functioning cowl flapper. The release date is expected to be sometime in February at an estimated retail price of $109.95. Eric Trapp from Lane Collectibles had been very patient with all of the corrections needed estimated to be over 200 since this project started. They are striving to have the best diecast available and this version is no exception. Fellow sYc member Rich Cummings was instrumental in consulting on their lastest release of the Z-16 1965 Chevelle. Rich was tireless in his efforts to make the model as close to real as possible and the release proves this to be true.

Rick N... Do you know if Lane is considering a full convertible top as an accessory? Why do you think the Ertl T/K SS/EA Drag Car was cancelled? Will Lane be making this, or a Fathom Blue or Forest Green Ragtop soon? The prototype looks good. Can't wait to see finished product.

Hopefully the biggest flaw I see is being addressed, or I won't get one.. The front wheels set to far rearward toward the doors. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img] Get the proportions right.

And fellow sYc member Rick Nelson was the consultant on this particular piece, the '70 Chevelle. I've known about Rick's intense involvement in this project for quite some time but was sworn to secrecy. Now that it's gone public I think Rick deserves to be recognized for all the work he's done. Any of you that know Rick are aware that his attention to detail is self described as "Anal"! The truth is, perfect is barely acceptable when relating to work he puts his name on. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif[/img]
Congratulations on another outstanding Chevelle, this time in 1:18 scale! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img] I'm betting it will stand up to Diamond judging standards just like the Shadow Gray car!

Thanks Dennis [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Rich was also involved to some degree on this project. The most credit should go to Eric Trapp for putting up with me. Over 400 photographs and hundreds of whining e-mails from Rich and me were well worth the effort in the end. Eric was the one who designed the functioning flapper hood and for that he deserves a [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Here is a link to a die cast site that has many more photos of the prototype including those with the top installed. I look forward to the coupe being released soon as well. LS-6 convert

Lane does some beautiful detailing. Is that a totally new body mold? It looks like it has significantly better proportions than the ERTL one.
