larman Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Great job! It is nice when you can build a model that you have a personal connection with. The car looks good in black with the red lines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ModelcarJR Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Looks great, Mike! Nice engine and interior work and a nice finish in black! I've recently purchased the kit but don't think I can do it justice the way that you have! 😎👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 That is a beauty Mike. Great job. My first car was a 66 also but it was the Impala SS with the 325hp 396 and Muncie 4 speed. Had a lot of fun with that car, cruising the back roads of South Georgia and I would take it to the local drag strip for Saturday night grudge matches.

Smitty Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Super sharp Chevelle! This car is ‘all business’. I’m still trying to wrap my head around a nineteen year old going into a Chevrolet dealership and buying that car. Impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catpack68 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Nice work Mike! I love 66-67 Chevelles👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbtr6 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Mike, great looking model, nice paint job. Do you still have the 1:1 of it? I lived in Metarie in 64-66, and went to LaPlace a couple of times with my dad. There was a guy that lived across the street from us that used to race there. If I remember, he blew the motor and his car ended up sitting in his garage a while. I don't remember what it was. I remember he had a couple of Weimaraner's we watched for him occasionally. Excellent build. Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent build. Perry Thanks Perry. No, don't still have the car. I don't remember if I sold it or traded it in for the Ram Air Cutlass I special ordered. Very interesting you lived in Metairie. After getting married, moved to Metairie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills72sj Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Nice replica. Great color combo with the redlines. I had the privilege of beating on a couple of SS 396 Chevelles in high school. (one a 69 and one a built up 70) both 4-speeds. Fast cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
