I was going to correct the wheelbase a bit,,,it's wonky,,,,but decided just to build it as is ,,,I wouldn't buy another one
-
Poff's is a wrap,,,all I can say about the kit is the body molding is great,,no flash ,,chassis pretty much a step or 2 below basic ,,lol same with the engine.I threw some bits of wire at it for brake and fuel lines,,cobbled up a steering box ,,didn't use the fenderwell headers,,they just didn't look right so I made some out of solder . Used a set of chrome stock steel rims on the slicks and the decals I made. Don't know if I'm gonna do Lyles 'cuda next or what,,,I got STS working up a set of decals for an AWB Mopar with a straight axle so if they come in soon I might do that ,,,decisions,,,,,decisions ?

Kelly Chadwick AWB Chevelle

..............new direction here >>>> Poff's Puffer - WIP: Drag Racing Models - Model Cars Magazine Forum -
...........this is the new direction with the 65 Chevelle,, I bought all my speed equipment for my GTX and Duster,,and a mini bike! at Van Iderstines and I remember the picture of this car on the wall,,never got to see it run at E-town and could only dig up a few fuzzy pics online ,,made my own decals,,I took some liberty on the hood and rear deck, the rest will be out of the box build with details added .Guessing the one pic is before Ken put the Puffer on and altered the wheelbase,,,lol

Kelly Chadwick AWB Chevelle
Scott Eriksen replied to Scott Eriksen's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
I decided to go a different route with the Chevelle after finding a pic I had of a local (to me) 65 Chevelle,,,,,and it's blown,,,,,,,,,,,,stay tuned......Ill save the Chadwick decals for another 65 -
I was gonna start the Ronald Lyles 'cuda,,I got most of the parts..... but I had this on top of the pile,,it was easier to dig out,,,lol . I've had the decals for awhile,,I'm pretty sure Chadwicks 65 was Candy Apple Red,,,,if not chime in,,,and I believe it always ran with carbs ,,never was injected Any good pictures of the actual car post away,,I only found one online ....I'm a Mopar guy so searching for Chevvie pics is troublesome ?

She's done,,,did some light chalk weathering,,,built up one of Jamie's (Moluminum) 4-71's I had as a rebuilt unit and stuck it on a pallet made from coffee stirrers . Printed out a service manual and put it in the cab. So the back story is circa 1972,,Andy's been a road guy for for 30 years ,,likes it ,,never wanted to be stuck in the shop,,his 65 Ford was up for replacement and he was supposed to get a new one,,but he said no thanks,,,I'm gonna retire with this girl,,,,,and with that he was on his next call to a customer with a rebuilt 4-71

Up on the bench ,another inbetweener while I gather stuff for the Ronald Lyles 'cuda Pro Stock . Johnson & Towers Detroit Diesel Allison service truck. MCW White enamel/homemade decals / urethane clear . Out of the box build with some details. I was thinking about a small crane mounted in the bed ,but this is only a single rear wheel so....... I might build a 12V-71 and put it on a skid in the back though,,,,lol !
