My first Under Glass posting of the LaBelle Speed Shop team from 1963. It features a period Jr. Fueler rail along with its push vehicle, the shop's parts chaser, a tricked out 55 Chevy Stepside with a warmed over 409 with dual carbs. In keeping with the period, all parts, such as a generator, are 63 or earlier. The Jr. Fueler roadster T body and rail come from the Tony Nancy kit, the SBC, including the injectors is from the 55 Nomad and is wired and plumbed. Timing cover is from a 63 Vette. PE safety belts along with a detailed interior with added bits and wiring. Metal finishes are Testor's Metalizers. The 55 Chev Parts Chaser features a 409 from the 62 Chevy with valve covers from the Trophy Series 57 Chevy, along with its bench seat. The engine is also wired and plumbed, metal finishes are Alclad. Satco whitewalls are fitted on steelies with Baby Moons from the 56 Vicky. The tonneau cover is modified from the 53 Ford F1. My main accomplishment is to have this duo ready for tomorrow's annual "Island Classic" in Victoria, British Columbia. Early tomorrow morning I'll be off over the Malahat pass with my entry!
