Misha Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 My first Under Glass posting of the LaBelle Speed Shop team from 1963. It features a period Jr. Fueler rail along with its push vehicle, the shop's parts chaser, a tricked out 55 Chevy Stepside with a warmed over 409 with dual carbs. In keeping with the period, all parts, such as a generator, are 63 or earlier. The Jr. Fueler roadster T body and rail come from the Tony Nancy kit, the SBC, including the injectors is from the 55 Nomad and is wired and plumbed. Timing cover is from a 63 Vette. PE safety belts along with a detailed interior with added bits and wiring. Metal finishes are Testor's Metalizers. The 55 Chev Parts Chaser features a 409 from the 62 Chevy with valve covers from the Trophy Series 57 Chevy, along with its bench seat. The engine is also wired and plumbed, metal finishes are Alclad. Satco whitewalls are fitted on steelies with Baby Moons from the 56 Vicky. The tonneau cover is modified from the 53 Ford F1. My main accomplishment is to have this duo ready for tomorrow's annual "Island Classic" in Victoria, British Columbia. Early tomorrow morning I'll be off over the Malahat pass with my entry! Cheers Misha

Bill Eh? Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Good luck Misha. The finish on both is fantastic. A combination to be proud of.
dougwintz Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Love the color and paint on both of them
Guest Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 That is so cool Misha! Now I know what I need to build to go with my '60 F-100 and trailer! Nice work on both models!!
rmvw guy Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Double cool, I love them both! The color pops! Love the push bar.
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Double cool, I love them both! The color pops! Love the push bar. What he said. Great looking combo.
DaveM Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I don't use this comment too often, but "Droooooooooooooool!!!" That is my new favorite model . I love the way the truck is done. It's not a full custom. It has some nice touches and sensible upgrades, but it is still a shop truck that can haul a dragster and tools around. (And look mighty fine doing it) The wheels are perfect for the truck. The dragster looks great. (No place to hide mistakes and sloppy work on a dragster model like that either, so your work has to be clean to look that nice!) I hope you do well at the contest. It deserves an award in my book. Great job! Dave
Jeremy Jon Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Fantastic work Misha, looks great! bravo!!
