Palomino '67 Chevelle Match Bash: This is a loose recreation of the original
Bobby Wood "Palomino" '66 Chevelle. The main difference is I didn't stretch
the front fenders like they were on the real car. Instead I altered the wheelbase but kept the overall body length stock. This one features a blown
488-cube 'Rat, pushbutton Chrysler Torqueflite and Chrysler 8 3/4 rear axle.
The suspension has been "torqued over" by increasing the length of the driver-side rear coil spring and reducing the length of the passenger-side
rear coil spring. Ever since I saw a photo of the Dorsey-Salter "Crazy Cuda"
leaving the line this way circa 1966 or '67 in the Popular Hot Rodding New
Funny Cars one-shot book, I've been incorporating it into my Match Bash models. |
