[M W Elky]

I built this box stock before the Butch Leal book came out . I kinda wish I had put crager s/s wheels on it .  These are really nice building kits I highly recommend them . This back cover photo is probably when he won at indy

 until next time thanks for looking , Mike

It’s kinda impossible to get a good picture it’s not quite everything but this will give you some idea . It’s been 43 years in the making.

Again, a Great build of a NHRA Legend. LUV your display. I showed it to my wife with my comment ""See my display is nothing to brag about"

Nice job (as always!) Mike on this '65 C.F. You did a particularly excellent job on the large white Mobius decals, not an easy task to apply/ align/ smooth out and not tear. I'm a big Butch Leal fan and got to meet him a few years ago at a "Nitro Revival" event in Irwindale, CA, really nice guy. I'll have to look for that book.

Also thanks for posting your massive car model collection/ man cave. I would love to spend an afternoon pulling each one off the shelf and examining each with my 3X readers.
