(revell) 70 BALDWIN MOTION CHEVELLE!!

[modeltech]

This is what i am currently working on! pretty much a quick build if there is such a thing??? lol!! but i switched out tires and rims and will be adding a little bit to the engine compartment!! this kit is basically the old chevelle kit i think nicely revised and updated a bit!! let me know what ya think so far???



the lt front fender in my kit needed a little attention!! the fender bulge was flat so i built it up a bit. as well as some bad injector pin marks under the hood, but that was easily fixed!!!

with some color added!!!

Captures the look really nice.I worked at Baldwin Chevy when those were new and always drolled over the Motion Cars. Does the kit come with Ladder bars? Nice work. Paul

actually Motion Performance would modify anything that you brought to them.....they were a seperate deal from baldwin chevrolet.....although they were most known for transplanting speed equipment and motors into brand new chevys and baldwin chevrolet would sell them, hence the baldwin-motion namesake. they have done various types of cars ranging from camaros, corvettes, chevelles, vegas (LS-7 454's and LT1 350's), and novas to olds cutlasses, and ford cobras (kingsnake). the Phase III cars were GUARANTEED to run 11.90's or Joel Rosen (owner of Motion Performance) would BUY the car back....he NEVER had too!!!! a friend of mine has 1 of 2 (possibly 3 since they think there has been another found) 68 baldwin-motion camaro with an L-88 427.....that car is just BAD! and yes, he DOES drag race it!!!!!! adam

And motion also did Big and small block Vegas and a few small block Chevettes.They later branched out to Motion MiniCars. As for ladder bars ...the Old Pro Nova has a workable set. Paul
