New Build and Details on How-To... *LINK* *PIC*

My impression is that very few of you read Fine Scale Modeler Magazine these days, so I am gonna give you a little hint here.

The current (September/October 2026) issue has a six page, 22 step how-to on building this exact model car....

This project takes the Moebius 1965 Chevy II Sedan Gasser kit and converts it into a late 1960s/early 1970s street freak.

The project includes converting the blown drag racing SBC to a street setup with a water pump, Delcotron, and carbs i/l/o fuel injection. The wheels and tires are new, and the suspension is mightily tweaked to move away from the slightly nose up stance of the Moebius kit to a high-rider/dumped in front stance straight from the coves of Car Craft mag back in the day.

The five color graphics treatment was done 100% with rattle cans - no airbrushing - and will be detailed in a separate Fine Scale Modeler four page article in the upcoming November/December 2026 issue of Fine Scale Modeler magazine.

Hope you get a buzz from the images, and that if you locate the mags mentioned above (you can find them at most Barnes & Noble stores), that you find the articles interesting, and that they might even insprie you to try your own Gasser to Street Freak conversion. Thanks for lookong, and Best Regards All! TIM
