'66 Chevelle SS Flipnose (move to under glass pls)

[RickRollerLT1]

Fresh off the bench! From the recent Revell 85-4520 issue of the ex-Monogram tool. Flipnose assembly is very tough, needs to be pre-assembled before painting and chrome scraped off where latches go. Mine was a bit warped and got it to lay down the best I could.

Front leaf spring junk was swapped out with a C-5 front suspension and rear suspension was lowered. Things like brakes and additional shocks came from the spares bin of old project parts.

Changes under the nose are things like new intake and electronic fan. Stock 454 headers and new side exhaust was made to replace the clunky side exhaust setup (which hit with the new lowered setup).

Centerlines were junk, so new shoes were used from a Revell MCM '67 Chevelle and rear tires from the Monogram '55 Ford Pick-up.

Stripe graphics were leftover decals from an MPC Toyota Supra and the Hot Wheels logos from the AMT Hot Wheels issue '32 Phantom Vicky. 

Exterior is TS-51 Racing Blue cleared with Pledge.
