I bought on this kit on eBay a couple of years ago with the plan to use it to continue my “Local Legends” series of dirt track cars from back in the day. The plan was to build local racer and legend “Car 32 Bob Hudson” 67 Chevelle A Class Stock Car from 1970.
After I opened the kit to start on it, it was such a nice kit I couldn’t bring myself to chop it up. So, I put it away and built a few others. Then a few weeks ago I heard my 31 yr old stepson, Bret (who’s not really in to cars) talking to my 8 yr old grandson, Kastyn (his nephew) about Hot Wheels cars. Bret stated that his first HWs car was a blue 67 Chevelle and how much he had loved that car. He knows that I can’t pass up a display with out thumbing through them and he noticed me listening. He told me if I ever found a copy of that blue 67 Chevelle to pick it up for him. At that moment I remembered this kit. So, I’m building this kit for my stepson Bret! Wish me luck building it and I hope he loves it once I give it to him!
Here we go:
As you can see the kit was molded in Marina blue. But it had some bad metallic swirls and lines that looked terrible. Nantucket blue was the color I wanted anyway and I found it in a satin finish.
