“BUILDING THE COVERS “ VOL # 53 MALCOLM DURHAM’S 1966 CORVAIR FUNNY CAR

[M W Elky]

I built this some time ago so I’m not exactly sure where all the parts came from. The body is a resin piece that I found on eBay. I used the chassis and interior from the amt 1966 nova pro street version. The roll cage is made from 0.80 plastic rod. I pieced the big block Chevy engine together from my parts box with aftermarket injection stacks. The paint is testors lacquer. I think the decals came from WhoopiKat . Which very unfortunately just disappeared I would have really liked to have gotten more from him . Allen made some great subject matter and of great quality. Until next time thanks for looking ?, Mike

Nice replication. Good job.

Very cool.  I have wanted to build this car for a long time, but really have no idea where to start.  You always do a great job.

Great job on this.

I built one using WhoopiKat decals years ago. I used an AMT Chezooom Corvair funny car body and had to alter the wheelbase. Used an AMT Rat Packer Chevy II funny car chassis. The Durham family contacted me and offered to buy it, but I felt it wasn't accurate enough to sell.

What color paint did you use?

This is the color of metallic pink that I used. Thanks for the nice compliment

Wish I had found that when I was building mine.
