JConcepts 1967 Chevy Chevelle body shell

JConcepts have introduced their new 1967 Chevy Chevelle for custom SCT vehicles. As the street eliminator class heats up on the circuit, JConcepts has faithfully recreated the icon in full detail. Like all vehicles of this generation, the imagination was amazing in the design department, swooping lines, hard edges and statement making trim packages. The corners of the front-end are pointed and wedge down to point the driver in the correct direction. The hood-scoop is planted along the centre-line of the vehicle bringing that drag-strip inspiration. The roof and coverage of the Chevelle is large and in charge, plenty of head-room for the scale drivers and accessories fans can deliver. One of the staples of the 1967 is the long rear deck lid and large wraparound taillamps with standard backup light mock-ups. Each body also includes the rear wing option to finalise the street eliminator look. The lower rear wing support is mounted carefully to the trunk using double sided tape or shoe goo. The upper wing section sets down and provides the look and finishing touch to the 1967 classic. The body measures a 13”/330mm wheelbase and the inside dimensions of the body are 10.75”/273mm wide front and 11”/279mm rear. The body is built for a 2WD SCT wheelbase length and narrowed to more resemble the original full-scale counterpart and it comes including a detailed decal sheet.
