MarkJ Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) After 187.5 hours, its finally finished. Freddy campaigned this car back in 1973. Its kind of a compilation of a few of his cars, from that time, because I did not have complete ref pics to go by. I chose this one because it seems to have had chrome rims, and chrome door numbers. My inspiration for this build is that I saw Freddy compete back in 1973 at Houston's Meyer Speedway, and he dominated the events the night, I was there. I know he was in a 65 Chevelle, but I cant remember the color, or number of the car he drove that night. Maybe it was this one. I mean it was 45 years ago. If you want to see how the build came together and better shots of the interior click on this link>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> http://www.shorttrackmodels.com/index.php?topic=955.0 Edited September 9, 2018 by MarkJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 You got my attention with this one. My favorite car of all time is the 65 Chevelle, built anyway - street, circle burner , or drag. This is some beautiful workmanship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sflam123 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Beautiful work!! The 70's is my favorite era of short track late models. Such variety. There were 1957 Chevy's racing against 1965 Chevelle's racing against 1970's Camaro's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
