Title: (FINISHED) Emrich Chevrolet #1 1964 Driver Toby Tobias
Post by: Bob P. on January 06, 2018, 01:16:37 PM

This is the 1964 Emrich Chevrolet number 1, built by the legend Davey Brown and driven by Toby Tobias.
The car was raced in central Pa. at Williams Grove, Selinsgrove and Susquehanna speedways.
They won a total of 36 feature events in 1964. 12 at Williams Grove, 16 at Selinsgrove out of 22 races, and 5 at Susquehanna speedway.
They also won 3 races at Port Royal speedway, where they only visited several times.

Davey Brown is still active working on race cars and building engines at 82 years old. He works on the number 69K sprint car owned by Don Kreitz Jr. and driven by Lance Dewease. Davey is in the National Sprint car hall of Fame and so is Toby Tobias.

Awesome!!! Captures the look of the real car to a "T". Always thought that was one of the nicest looking cars.

Bob -

I've been meaning to ask - what did you use for the black padding at the bottom of the side window openings?

Greg, to answer your question on the door opening material:

The black material, over the side door opening, is heat shrink tubing.
I put the tubing over a piece of plastic coated wire and heat it to shrink it on the wire. Then I try to cut a straight line the length of the tubing, pull it off the wire and slide over the opening and glue on the inside.

Thanks for the nice comments on this build. It means a lot coming from the skilled builders on this sight.

I have another replica on the bench and I will not post until it's finished.
