I figured I would give you all an update on Teresa's Chevelle. It is now completely apart!! The body is off the frame. Here is a pic of the body after we set it down.  Then we needed to get what was left of the chassis to a friends house. This is what we came up with. His new redneck Chevelle trailer!!  It looks scarry but we got it to his house that is less than a mile away.   After that we finished stripping the frame. So now it's a bare frame that is getting cleaned up and going to powder coat. Does anyone have a trailer that I can use?? |

That's looking pretty good and should really look nice when it's powered coated!!
I have a 12X5 trailer that could be used to move just the frame with?
Just let me know if you would like to check it out to see if it would work for you.

Thanks Marty. I measured the bare frame and it's 16 feet long. So as long as your trailer is open and the frame can hang off that back it should work fine.
My buddy Mike also has a 12x5 but his has a ramp that folds up with a lift system and cables. That is the only reason we could not use it.

Wow!
Raoul, that's looking good! Your 1:1 model kit is really coming together.
The chassis is fantastic! It's almost a shame to cover it up, it's so sharp!

I want to know how many 1/4 ounce bottles of Testors black enamel paint it took to do that fine paint job on that frame. LOL Nice work so far, Raoul. Your usual quality workmanship. I can't wait to see the car completed. Of course, there will be no keeping up with Teresa in that wild ride.
