• Was the AMT 65 Chevelle Craftsman kit the body source for the Time Machine - Super Boss AWB kit and then became the Chevele Modified Stocker ? ....
  • Yep. There are vestiges of the 1965 Promo/Craftsman Malibu SS 1/4 panel scripts on both the AWB and Modified cars *NM*
  • The AWB Nova and Chevelle chassis are very similar (so close that some parts interchange) but are not the same *NM*
    • Thanks Mark ! that interesting, so I'm wondering if the rest of that AWB tool still remains orphaned like the stock 64 Olds F85 parts were....
      • I've always thought the Chevelle chassis got reworked into the Boss Nova piece. All of those kits got altered/butchered around the same time, and if someone told me to design a chassis for the Boss Nova, the way it is isn't how I'd have done it *NM*
        • Its certainly possible they did that, but why not use the Chevelle engine and susp etc too ...
          • The Chevelle engine is still in the Chevelle. As for the Boss Nova, I always thought that was inspired by Cotten Owens' Dart wagon *NM*
            • After looking at some open kit photos I can confirm that the Chevelle Modified Chrome tree is in the exact same layout of the Time Machine Funny Car ....
              • Depends on what the end goal is...
  • My mistake. The Malibu SS scripts were still on the AWB car but the AWB lost the front fender engine badges from the body sides.
