Hoping to replicate this Chevelle from the mid-1970s belonging to Karl Sanger of Waterloo, IA. Karl always seemed to take a backseat to his brother Ed, but was always a steady contender at Tunis Speedway in Waterloo, finishing as runnerup in the season point standings in 1972, '73, and'74. A BIG thanks to Tom Birky for his resin-cast 8-lug rims!!

Looking good so far Bob, keep us posted on your progress. I love replica's.
Bob
An old war horse for sure. It will be a good one.
Hi Bob are you getting the PMs I am sending you please get ahold of me your decal is almost done I need your address and several questions to run by you....Bruce
Man Bob....this is going to be cool to watch come together. I'm also working on a 72 Chevelle. It was ran in the mid 80's in the Pro stock class and driv'in by my cousin. Looking forward to you next update...
Bob they should be their today Monday the 29th contact me when you get them please
Getting closer to the finish line.....mostly scratch-built roll cage assembly, modified dashboard, fuel line, scratch seatbelts; not perfect, but I'm generally pleased. Cars of this era were definitely not show pieces.
