I finished this AMT 67 Chevelle Pro-street as the familiar MaxRat Revell late 80's street machine.  My vision was to build it as if it was kicked around and survived 30 some years of abuse.

I'd imagined it changing hands several times and each new owner may have changed different things. The original hood was swapped for a stock hood because the Intake was changed to a single carb (for reliability) sometime in the late 90's. ???  Also the next owner liked Weld Pro Stars so gone are the Centerlines originally used in 1989.

But after all it still remained with it's original Lime Green color scheme. A little primer here and there to repair rust bubbles perhaps. I got a feeling that one owner didn't care for the custom taillight assembly so he replaced it with the stock SS panel. The clearcoat is peeling, she's rough around the edges, a little dated, a tad worn out but she's a survivor!

Thanks for looking and hearing my story ??

Great looking representation of what happens to far too many show cars as they descend into everyday use and abuse.

Nice build, I really like your idea of a worn out pro street car. As the 90s style is quite agded nowadays this could easily have happend in the real life too.

I'm gonna try to get more built this year... Lord willing and the creek don't rise ? I can use that quote now because I moved to a property that actually has a creek running through it... ? I think I only built four kits last year...or atleast I finished four. So my New year's goal is to finish more. Thanks agian for all the positive feedback and support from everyone.
