“ BUILDING THE COVERS “ vol #108 BLAIRS SPEED SHOP AWB CHEVY 2

[M W Elky]

I have been waiting to build this car for a long time. Thanks to joe Curtis at freemont we have the decals . A big thanks to round 2 for reissuing this fine kit for us . The headers were a little tricky, and the front axle is a parts box mix . I made the side trim from some small square styrene strip. A can of duplie color is the closest color blue I could come up with. These AMT AWB kits are really fun and easy to build and they capture the look. As for the magazine issue there’s no article for this car only a cover shot . Here’s the parts breakdown 

AMT CHEVY 2 Awb funny car 

AMT 65 CHEVELLE AWB FUNNY CAR : engine, back wheels, slicks , front tires, rear 

polar lights funny car any : injector hat

parts box : front wheels , front shocks, radius rods

0.080 styrene rod : roll cage

solder , 3/32 aluminum tubing: headers

Another magazine cover masterpiece Mike! I grabbed these decals off of Joe's eBay store awhile back when I saw them, this build is the first I've seen to use them.

Bovan's story is a sad one, he evidently got involved in illicit drug sales in the early 70's in order to finance his racing and was ultimately murdered in a drug deal gone bad.
