Great old school stance! Love the decals, very cool!

Very cool, love the aluminum duct foil on the door and the quarter panel replacement. It's fun when you don't have to worry about messing up the paint!

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the comments!

Thanks Bill, the bench seats are scratch built. I couldn't find anything suitable, so I used the buckets as the base for the bench. I used card stock to make templates for the styrene, then lots of putty and sanding. The back seat was also done the same way. Below are a couple pics showing how I did them. This was my first time trying this so I wasn't sure how it would come out, but was pleased with the results. Finished bench seats. Used masking tape to add the texture part of the seats.

Thanks Niko! The air cleaner was made using a 1" round necklace charm that I drilled out and very thin adhesive-backed foam material that I cut into a thin strip. Both came from local craft store. The foam material is called "Silly Winks" and was in the kids craft area.

Thanks John! No, I went with the kit rear. It was something I thought about when I was planning the build, but didn't have anything in the parts box.

Thanks John! Funny you ask about the grill. I contemplated that for a long time but didn't come up with a good way to do it, so just left it as the GTX grill.

Hello all, I have been a member for some time, but this is my first post. Finally got set up on Photobucket to be able to post pics. Below is the last drag car that I finished in the fall. It is the Stiles and Stahl 67 Belvedere II Super Stock. This is an RO23 Belvedere of which only 55 were built and only 17 were 4 speeds. These were Hemi powered factory racers delivered race-ready without heater, radio, body insulation, carpet underlay and seam sealer, the RO23s were hundreds of pounds lighter than stock models. They were all white with basic bench seat interiors. The cars were delivered with the stock Street Hemi round chrome dual quad air cleaners but had the special open style flat steel dual quad air cleaner with hood sealing foam gasket delivered in the trunk of the car. To build this I used the Revell Sox & Martin GTX and made some subtle changes to make it close to a Belvedere. This included converting the front and rear seats to straight bench seats, adding the Belvedere chrome molding on the side and creating a stock style gas cap. I also scratch built the air cleaner. The decals are Fred Cady.
