1/25 Pro-Touring 1965 Chevelle

[Buick Motorsports]

This is a build up of a 1/25 65 Chevelle that I have just started. The only real decision that I've made so far is that the drivetrain will be a fuel injected 502 with a 5 speed trans out of a 90's Camaro.

I intend to two tone the body, but have not made up my mind on the colors. Attached are a couple of photos, I will be updating this on a regular basis and hope to keep the interest of the Lateral-g faithful.

Thanks for the encouragement guys.

With regards to the motor, it is a resin 502 from Ross Gibson (http://www.scaledreams.com/ROSS.HTM). It is a really nice piece. The hard part will be making the induction system.

The wheels are Kranze Cerberus from Aoshima. I really like the look of these wheels on the Chevelle.

Once I settle on a color combo I will be able to kick things into high gear.

I was wondering if that was a Ross Gibson. I've always wanted to try one of those pieces, but havn't had the money when a suitable project came along. I can't wait to see more!

Yeah those Gibson engines looks pretty sweet, my buddy got their 350 TPI but the fitment was horrible, pretty nice detail bu thats about it.
What kind of induction system are you shooting for?

Keep it up!

Other than cleaning up the mating surfaces, I found it to be a pretty good kit. All resin casts, need a little massaging.

As far as induction, I'm thinking of a dual inlet coming from in front of each fenderwell and then mating the two pipes at the plenum. Simple, yet cool looking.

Sound very cool and clean, should turn out very kewl.

It's been a while since an update!

The business and landscaping the new house has taken priority...for now!

I have decided in a color/colors. I'm going with a pewter color for sure nd leaning heavily on two toning it with black. Altho, not very original. This color combo still makes a statment.

I have to find time to go to a hobby shop and pick up some tube styrene to create hubs for the aftermarket wheels. Once I do this, I can set ride height.

Next on the agenda after that will be setting the height of the 502 in the chassis.

I should have some new photos for you guys shortly.

where can I locate a kit like this. I have a 65 Malibu and can't find anything but die-casts. PM me please.!

[black2002ls]

Sounds good.

Tony,

Try e-bay. I picked one up on there some time back for less than $20 shipped. Which is a decent deal

[Buick Motorsports]

I concur, eBay is the best bet. I'm trying to find a second one as a donor to this one. I haven't had much luck so far.

[black2002ls]

just sent you a pm :)
