64 Malibu. This started out as an A/W funny car yrs ago that I moved the rear wheel wells back to stock. Since it was a funny car I had ta steal a lot of parts from Revell's 65 kit. The problem is their different sizes, so I had ta modify the chassis, front rad support and fender wells and all of the interior. I've always liked the 64s better than the 65s and now I finally got one. It's not some of my best work, but at least it's done and I have a 64 now.

Fantastic job. Reworking a "full racer" back to stock is a real accomplishment. Scales and differences betw companies molds are often a pain. Great to see another fine job so good it looks box stock!

Nice job Gramps. I love the color. Back in the day I really wanted a 64 Chevelle, thought they were a beautiful car. Unfortunately, it was not to be --- new baby used the money.
