E St. Kruiser50 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited November 21, 2008 by Treehugger Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Lombardo Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Something that does not happen much for me, I am speechless, simply speechless. Superb yet understated. Great scratch building discipline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Lusty Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Frikin love your chevelle! Awesome color too! I hope one day to be building at your level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadRidesByDan Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick F40 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 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.
