Red,white and blue! 65 Chevelle
« 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.

Man...that looks great Tom. Did you do your own Decals?

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