| JUNIOR JOHNSON'S "HOLLY FARMS" 1963 CHEVY IMPALA Z11 GONZO'S PRO BUILT MODEL CARS Click on pictures to enlarge or supersize |
| here is the famous Junior Johnson Nascar 1963 Chevrolet Impala Z11. The Holly Farms car. Pro built in 1/25th scale.This car was built for a client from Kentucky. Alot of scratch building was done to get this car correct. The interior was done from reference of the early version of this car. Hoping to buy an aftermarket rollbar was futile. It stated just trim to fit. Right, hard to trim something that is too short to begin with, so I ended up scratch building it myself. The steering wheel is hand wrapped and the gauges were placed from reference. It is about as correct as it gets. A combination of AMT and revell parts were used as well as many self built parts. It features the 427 mystery motor, or Z11 motor. Many photo etch pieces were also used. I was a Nascar fan when they ran cars like this. The factory cars, one you could buy at the dealer. You know, race on Sunday, buy on Monday was the saying. Imagine this car, full frame, heavy metal car being catapulted around the track at 165+ miles per hour, as Junior did with this one. As far as Nascar today, I find it about as interesting as paint drying. Click on the pictures to enjoy this beauty. I can almost smell the hi test gas. Ciao, Gonzo |
