Still another pic of an early Lakewood bellhousing I believe on John Barkley’s D/S 57 Chevy (circa 1968) with the bolt on inspection cover.

 

 

Ron....ran across the SBC Chevy bellhousing from the original AMT Double Dragster kits a few days ago, and sure looks to me like a reasonable representation of an early era scattershield.  Sure wish I had run across that when I was building the model....would have fit very nicely....TB

Timing is everything.  I just finished my Corvette stocker and just started today resurrecting a build on a C/MP 57 Chevrolet circa 1964 NHRA.  Would this scattershield also be in the “new” Double Dragster Kit ?  Just another reason for me to get one?  Got a picture of it?  Again, thanks for all you do for the modeling community.

Here are some pictures of the bell housing on the small block Chevy parts tree and the scattershield and the two piece in and out box from the hemi parts tree . The Double dragster is a must have kit you’ll want to get a few just for parts

Thanks, Tim, for the pictures and further info.  That certainly looks like an early style scattershield.   I made a mistake on the later style Lakewood bellhousing that I used on my 55 Nomad stocker. I referred to it as coming from a parts pack, when ,in fact, it came from a 57 Nomad  model kit.  I just received today from eBay some engines from a 57 Nomad model kit that verifies this.  The 55 Nomad that I built came with extra parts from a 57 Nomad that I forgot about.  Anyway, it is a nice later 60’s Lakewood scattershield.  Thanks again.
