Title: Bobby Allison's 74 Coke Chevelle
Post by: supergluek5 on July 17, 2017, 04:56:00 PM: Modelers,

Built this back the kit first came out. Over time the paint deteriated badly. When the decals came out to do several of Bobby's coke machine, I redid this one.

Ok.....just kidding...VERY NICE restoration! Very clean and well done. I'd LOVE to have one of those 73 Chevelles, but they are like the proverbial 'hen's teeth'.

Thanks for posting pics.
