67 chevelle dirt track racer

[Ratrodtommy77]

Here is a new one ive started... Haven't built a model car since I was a kid.. So I brought a few and thought I'd share the latest one.. It's not finished but getting there.. I originally built it as it shows on the box and wasn't satisfied as I don't really like drag cars and I'm not into shiny paint or anything .. I am a rat rod lover and I thought I couldn't turn a muscle car into a rat so I ratted it in a different way.. I decided to go speedway.. I took it apart from how I originally built it and hit her with a lighter and covered her with dents.. Then gave her a flat black paint job and got some some dirt and got her dirty inside and out.. The bonnet had a squarish hole for velocity stacks which I hit with a dye grinder and made a nice circle for the aircleaner.. Made a roll cage and dented the bumpers.. Had some spare wheels sitting with big tyres from models built as a kid and cut out the fenders and chucked them on.. Got the engine nice and dirty also.. Put mesh where the grill would be and some mesh where the driver sits.. Need to do hoses and leads in the engine bay but it's nearly done.. For someone with very little skill and havin not done this in years I think I've done an alright job.. I hope you all enjoy it!

Welcome back to modeling.

Very good progress so far it looks like junk

(Meaning you did one heck of a job with the dents and dirt)

Look forward to seeing more
