Scottnkat Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) This is my version of Wendell Scott's '62 Chevy. When I started this, I had plans to do a few more things, but then I broke my wrist. I can't stand to leave something unfinished, so I did the best I could with the one hand. I removed the body trim and wipers and cut out the back panel for the fuel filler. I scratch built the seat bolsters, interior walls, dash inserts, and rollcage. I used athletic tape on the floor to simulate the floor pad, then used crepe tape to wrap the steering wheel and rollcage for the padding. I made the hood pins out of needles, wire, and sequins. Finally, I made the decals myself. The engine compartment and a final pic Edited April 4, 2014 by Scottnkat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottnkat Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Oh, BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH! I just noticed that I wrote Galaxie instead of Chevy. Yeah, I'm a nunkhead.
