Rebuilding a family race car - 66 Chevelle Post

Recently finished my re-body of my John Eacott 1974 Season Chevelle. Originally built it with the wrong body style and inaccurate decals. Discovered the real car was a 67 with 66 front fenders and grille so I modified the taillight openings to look more 67-like. It is a lot closer than the first build. John won the 1974 title at Barrie in this car and ran Westgate in Peterborough after Barrie closed early.
