Sterling Marlin's '66 Chevelle Limited Sportsman from the '74 season at the 1/4 mile inside the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway. I just finished the test print and final adjustments for these, they're ready to print and bag. I should have them up in my eBay store by tomorrow. As always, if you prefer to not use eBay or PayPal you can contact me to purchase direct.

These will be $9 + $1.50 US postage or $3.50 Canadian postage. If you're a resident of another country contact me and I'll get a shipping estimate.

The paint color appears to be bright red inside and out, probably the same shade of red as Coo Coo's Cup car. The Plastic Performance Products 10" McCreary asphalt slicks and 5 slot wheels should be perfect for this build. Use the Lindberg '66 Chevelle. What I usually do for an early '70s build of this kit is to use a pencil or Sharpie to mark the inside of the body where the rear wheelwells in the chassis sit and use a Dremel with sanding drum to open the rear wheelwells out to just inside the molded in rear inner wheelwells in the chassis. In the front I eyeball my reference photos and use the rear wheelwells for reference to mark and Dremel those out.

I'm in for a set. Looks like it would be a fairly close match for Sterlings Late Model Nova.

Thanks for your interest. The Nova is on my list as well, I just happened to see photos of the Limited and thought it would be a good use for all those '66 Chevelle kits. You're right, the Chevelle artwork is a good start on the Nova artwork.

This was one of those artwork projects that was effortless, I started around 9 PM Friday night after work and grocery shopping, I had done the test print and was almost finished with the final adjustments by 9 on Saturday night, even with fitting the Cunningham-Kelly to the curve of the top of the quarter panel on both sides. I already had a Chevelle body with the wheelwells cut out and the scripts removed so I used that for my test fit mule.
