Allison Chevelle

[Modellpularn]

Hi guys, it's been awhile since I posted something here. Guess it can fall into the slot section, since it is a slot car. Also I wanted to test the photo medium. no need to use photobucket. This is sort of a mocked up assembly, as the body was being glued to the chassis mounts. I wanted to build a Bobby Allison car, and liked the reissued Pepsi Chevelle. I met him a long time ago when we lived in San Diego. The race at Riverside was a few weeks away, and on my favorite radio station at the time, a message came on: "If you want to get tickets to the race at Riverside, and meet Bobby Allison, go to Drew Ford" I think that was the place, but it was weird since he raced a Monte Carlo... Anyway, we went out there, and I got to meet the man! Must have seemed like a shy kid to him. A few years later AMT released the Allison Monte Carlo, and I built it.

This Chevelle might not be totally correct, but I built it anyway. I had decals to make three cars, and decided to do the Chevelle. It needs to have gold slot mags, will fix that in a near future. We have a race May 20th, have to get it done by then. Have run it with black wheels at two races.

Two great models of one of my favorite drivers.  Thanks for sharing.

Just last year I rebuilt My old Monte Carlo with new decals and wheels.

I have a Chevelle in the stash to be made into the Cale Yarbrough '71.  Now I may have to get another to make an Allison car.

Good work!
