Title: Red,white and blue! 65 Chevelle
Post by: Tom Birky on July 04, 2017, 06:05:11 PM

Patriotic Chevelle I built a couple of years ago. Bill McDonough a.k.a. the Frito Bandito! Ran this one about 1972.

Combination of AMT Chevelle Modified Stocker and some chassis parts from an AMT 66 Olds Cutlass.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone.  Gary, Statsman did my decals. They're excellent! Sadly, he's kind of out of the decal biz
