At the party Harry sponsored for the Boyz upon the completion of the 67 Mustang, they decided it was time to work on Smiling Ray's 65 Chevy.
They just pushed it to the shop primed to build out.

If I knew a few cold ones would get The Boyz that motivated, I would have done it years ago :)
Now this is going to be a cool one.

Will that 65 Impala fit on the Revogram NASCAR chassis?? Does it need any modification to fit?Or is it good the way it is? Thanks.

This chassis is from a Carrera Lee Petty #42 car that I got on sale.
It fits perfect wheel base wise and just very minor Rhommel work in the rear.
Actual will use the interior and real glass as well.
Thinking several versions in the future!!!

It's going to need to have the windshield wipers removed.Ditto for the factory emblems on the front fenders.

I like the blue. Are you leaving the top grey, or are you painting it another color?
