94-96 Caprice hood ornament?

[tigeraid]

Anyone know of any place I could find a hood ornament for a 94-96 Caprice? The regular Classic stand-up bowtie, not the flat LTZ badge. I've almost perfected the Revell-Monogram Impala SS / 9C1 Caprice conversion, but I'm missing that. Or for that matter, the stock Caprice grille. But I can get that from previous caprice models. Anyone have any ideas on the hood ornament? I haven't been able to find it on modelhaus or modelcargarage...

Woot... just found two kits on ebay for '92 Caprices with the grilles and hood ornaments... they're being bid on though, hope I win... my question still stands though

Shoot me your address, Ive got one here from the early kit I can send you. I even have a grill, but I'd need to swap ya for the SS grill. I'm in the middle of doing a Modelhaus wagon to do my own car.

Where does this Ontario club get together, I'm building a 91 Caprice wagon how.

Hey,

There was a company out of NJ that made police parts and stuff for the caprices. "Models by Tony". I am not sure if they are still in buisness, but I will check. Yeah, and the older caprice kits have the grille and emblem. Good luck.

Please do Frank, that'd be much appreciated. I've found a couple of the Snap-tite models on ebay but there's no guarentee I'll win the auctions of course. I'm hoping to find a few handfuls of grilles and hood ornaments so I can farm out 9c1 conversions to my friends. And make a tutorial for here!

I have a grill from a Caprice snap kit and I may have a couple from the Alternomad. If the Alternomad grill will work I'll look for them.

I think the grille from the snap kit would ideal, being revell just like the impala kit. The Alternomad kit, as I recall, is an Impala SS style grille with the central bowtie. I need the plain jain chrome grille. I would definitely appreciate it if you can find it, let me know!

I PMed you with an address request.

Hey,

Well, I have the police version that is still in progress along with everything else. Do you think you could cast the grille and emblem if I lent them to you?

Sorry dude I think that's a bit too advanced a technique for me

[SoCalMark]

You have two of each on the way.
