70 Chevelle - Melba Toasted


Gerald Haney

Recommended Posts

I built this '70 Chevelle...in December of 2019...Its box stock but weathered...

It is based off Wooderson's "Melba Toast" Chevelle in the movie Dazed & Confused.  My version is He's still driving it but its starting to really show its age from all the Texas heat, He's still working for the City but he's got an Ex-Ol lady, Child Support payment and a little Drinkin' Problem...so no extra cash for a paint job and a motor swap....therefore I named  it "melba toasted"

Who wants to head up to Houston and get those Aerosmith tickets

I like the back ground story on the owner, sounds like a good theme for a song. You got the paint finish just right. Leave any car, but especially a black one, out in the weather and the hot sun the paint will start to crack and lift off the body and end up looking just like this. Well built here.
