Karl Sanger Chevelle (UPDATE)
« on: June 12, 2020, 02:14:10 PM »
Hoping to replicate this Chevelle from the mid-1970s belonging to Karl Sanger of Waterloo, IA. Karl always seemed to take a backseat to his brother Ed, but was always a steady contender at Tunis Speedway in Waterloo, finishing as runnerup in the season point standings in 1972, '73, and'74. A BIG thanks to Tom Birky for his resin-cast 8-lug rims!!

An old war horse for sure.  It will be a good one.

Getting closer to the finish line.....mostly scratch-built roll cage assembly, modified dashboard, fuel line, scratch seatbelts; not perfect, but I'm generally pleased.  Cars of this era were definitely not show pieces.
