My wife and I have been shopping for a new house for a few weeks and I was starting to get a little worn out in the process. I needed some stress relief. “I know”, I said, “I will build a Hi-Po Chevy small block this weekend.” And yes, I actually did. A 1\/6th scale model of one that is. I wouldn’t have anything to drop a full size one into anyway. I guess I could drop it into my ’02 S-10. Man would that would be a screamer. I better let a professional handle that one. I knew I could handle 1\/6 scale no sweat! I got the idea while we were shopping for some stuff we needed at home. I saw a hobby shop and told my wife I just had to drop in and check out their stuff. I was a big model car builder when I was a kid. My favorite was a blown ’57 chevy dragster that I really detailed out. I still have it in a drawer somewhere. As I was perusing the model car aisle, I spied boxes and boxes of scale model engines. Remember those working V-8 models where you can see all the moving parts through the translucent plastic. The crankshaft, pistons, valves, etc. all moved. I always wanted to do one of those. I know I didn’t really have time for that

\nbig of a project, so I found a really cool hi performance Chevy small block. As you can see, it is very detailed. I really had a blast putting it together over the weekend. I was really surprised at how intricate the paint, chrome, and other fine details were applied in this kit. All I needed was a small phillips screw driver and some glue. And best of all, it was a heck of a lot cheaper than the real thing.<\/p>\n
