'66 Chevelle

[E St. Kruiser50]

Absolutely incredible building skills Scrappy , stunning design, amazing engineering talent .

This hobby never ceases to surprise me at the talent coming forward this last year or so, and the diverse styles, interests and skills that produce some of the most amazing "Model Art".

Been building a lot of years, and have never seen the level of talent this high, with so many builders.

Scrappy, your an amazing builder. I hope you stay around along time and continue investing in yourself at getting better at this passion we call a hobby.

I think for a lot of us, the internet has given us a new tool to "fire our passion" and seeing others work like Scrappy's has motivated many of us to be better builders.

This is where my hat come's off to the model magazine forums, who have done all of us a tremendous favor and service to provide us with an avenue to share and to learn - in this case MODEL CARS MAGAZINE and Gregg Hutchings. Thanks Gregg .

Thanks for sharing this with us - Dave

Simply amazing!!!!

[Peter Lombardo]

Something that does not happen much for me, I am speechless, simply speechless. Superb yet understated. Great scratch building discipline.

[Keith Lusty]

Frikin love your chevelle! Awesome color too! I hope one day to be building at your level.

[RadRidesByDan]

This is one seriously well built Chevelle. There is a lot one can say about the detail and craftsmanship that went into the car but i think I would run out of allowable bytes to be able to post. You have set one heck of a bar with this build.

My hat is off to you

[ScrappyJ]

Wow...thanks, for the comments, guys!!! All your comments are very humbling and greatly appreciated ! I've learned quite a bit from many folks and am honored to be able to build projects that folks can appreciate what I've learned from them.

[Jeff Johnston]

THAT'S NOT A MODEL.....It's an invention.

Absolutely incredible.

[plumnuts]

scrappy, I hope to be able to put out a build like you . still can't beleave the details. and how do you get that finish on the dash?

[Bobdude]

Maybe you should have used chrome bumpers, Mr. Blister

[Bobdude]

There's no license plate on the back of the car, did you steal it?

[ScrappyJ]

Stole it from your sister.

[Bobdude]

The next time you see my sister ask her why she can't build better models for me to take from her.I am tired of you always getting the better stuff.

[ScrappyJ]

Yeah, but you're the master of 6061 and 7075 .

[David Thibodeau]

Yep......

Dirk is the man.... I was awe struck by this thing in Atlanta.... I think it was Best in show material if it wasnt for that piece of junk Morton built......

This is the sickest Chevelle I have probably ever seen in models and maybe 1:1. The color, I love, and the Pro Touring look is so freakin cool. I love this! That engine is probably the best I've ever seen in a musclecar, ever.

PERFECT in my book, you would have had my vote.

[Skull08]

WOW! Dirk.....VERY NICE work! Should put an article in the MAG on how you did that chassis!

[walt francis]

ACK...........THUD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[george 53]

Yeeesh, It's taken me this long to find the words to describe this monster, And I still can't! Just too awesome! Maybe just maybe, someday I'll be able to............Nahhhhh! Beautiful build!

[ScrappyJ]

Thanks again, gents! And Dave, thanks for the vote! Much appeciated!

[paul@detaildownunder]
