Here is one I completed right before starting the '65 Impala build. This is a scale of my uncle's 1970 Chevelle Malibu drag car, which he raced in the 70's and '80's. Kit is Revell's 1/24 3-n-1 1970 Chevelle SS. I still need to replace the rear tires because I clear coated these and now they are quite sticky, but other than that it's finished. This is going to be a suprise for him, so don't say anything... ;)

How the rear tires are supposed to look...

And the real car's contingency decals versus the model's...this was before I discovered all the aftermarket ones available and was trying to locate them wherever I could (ebay, etc)

Looks great, I like the rubber on the quarter panels and the great engine bay. Driver really adds life to this too.
