Leaves still falling, so no sense in raking this week.
Took down another car I haven't "played with" for a while in my never ending project to re-motor & re-build a bunch cars on my shelf.
Built this Chevette quite some time back......Been collecting dust for a couple or 3 years.

Had a brass interior tray & cage attached to the chassis.......Removed that & a few other pieces.
Replaced the MT5 with a Jaws motor. Equiped with Parma gears, guide & Big Mama brushes.
Re-trued the urethane tires, painted the wheels & moved the rear bumper forward maybe a quarter inch.
Replaced the brass rod headers with aluminum craft wire headers.
Cleaned up a painted the chassis white.

The plan was to just remove the decals & replace with something I liked better. Got carried away & rebuilt most of the body.
Cut & shortend the rear about 1/8" to better proportion the body in my opinion.
Added a styrene interior with 1/16" styrene cage, re-used the driver "as is".
painted with Ace Hardware white primer, red & black rattle cans followed by 2 coats of Ace Hardware clear...........The End: Brew
