In the world of Chevrolet muscle cars, it is hard to beat the power and sleek lines of the late 60’s vehicles. These characteristics are exactly what makes the 1967 Chevelle so popular to both purist muscle car owners, and also to those with designs on improving an already awesome car. The term Pro-Street is a racing classification, it is a form of custom vehicle typically featuring large cubic inch engines, tube chassis, oversized rear tires, narrowed rear ends, interior roll bars and flashy paint jobs. All of this, while still retaining enough of the stock vehicle to be considered street legal.

The Chevelle model line was available from 1964 all the way through 1977 and was considered part of GM’s A-Body platform.  Super Sport versions of the Chevelle were available from 1964 through 1973. The 1967 model had revisions to the bodywork from earlier year models, these changes gave the Chevelle a longer and a more straight-forward appearance. Coupling the revised exterior with a monster 396 cubic inch power plant that was capable of pushing out 375 hp resulted in a vehicle that now looked great and could out muscle much of what was on the road at the time.  Purists believe the 1969 Chevelle was “perfect” just as it came off the assembly line, others thought it was the perfect basis to push the boundaries of the motoring scene.

For the modeler; This kit features fairly accurate assembly instructions, it is comprised of 150 plastic parts along with 4 rubber tires, two are skinny to be used on the front while the two rear tires are wide, well detailed Firestone’s.  They have also included a paint guide within the instruction sheet so you can replicate the box art if you like. The plastic parts have little flash on them and most pieces fit together well. Molding seams and ejection pin marks are minimal and clean up with a bit of attention from a sanding stick. This is a great box stock kit but it would lend itself equally well to those who like to go all out and super detail their builds. To complete this model as I have you will need: paint, plastic cement, Bare Metal Foil, a hobby knife, sanding sticks and Elmer’s glue (for the windows and lenses). Included in this review you will find slightly modified building sequences and tips on  black wash: exhaust system repair; Alclad use; realistic headers; frame detailing; professional interior detailing; realistic gauge detailing; roll bar sequence changes; trim foiling; painting with nail polish; panel line highlighting; tire detailing; and adhesive selection are all fully examined in this Step-by-Step review.
