'67 Pro-Touring Chevelle

[LOBBS]

I suppose that it's about time to get something on the bench using the new stuff that I had cast by VCG.

Here's the start of my '67 Chevelle project. I'm going with the kit's BBC but dropping the Muncie in favor of the new T-56 six-speed and using VCG's repop of the '67 Imp EFI unit and a set of their 572 valve covers.

Color right now is MM AMC Sterling Silver lacquer. MM Bright Platinum was my first choice and if I can find a few cans locally I'll exchange these for those.

Wheels are some Aoshima Prof VF1s that I received in a trade awhile back. I may widen the back rims and order up a set of wider tires from Ma's Resin.

Other plans call for a full Hotchkis suspension system which means I'll have to fab up some upper and lower A-arms and 4 links out back. I'm also trying to track down a reasonable cowl-induction hood. I'm not a fan of those huge outlaw hoods.

Can't wait to see that Chris. My first project with the LS7 will be a '69 Camaro with a full Air Ride setup. I just need to track down a Revell Ferrari 599 GTO at a Hobby Lobby so that I can snag the BBS F1 wheels and tires from it. I try to avoid buying kits just to bash one thing from but if I have to I like to get it on the cheap.

Looks like I'll be putting the paint work on hold for a bit. I'm sending my hood down to Lex's Scale Modeling so he can cast up a 3" cowl-induction hood for the Revell '67 Chevelle.
