Thats funny, because I decided not to do a pro street car which are some of my favorite builds because So many of my previous builds were pro streeters. Your car so far is bad a%^! Can't wait to see it finished. What kit did the engine come from?

I'm doing mine the way I always picture Chevrolets. To me, a Chevy is a full-size, 2-door, white with an aqua interior. That's what the first car I ever drove was, and the first car I ever bought was also. I got the Testor's bright white paint laid down, its not all that smooth, so I have to buff it down a bit. The interior is all painted with a custom mixed aqua color with aqua ken's fuzzy fur for carpet. I built an engine for it, but havent decided if I'm going use it or not. Actually I built two, both straight sixes from the AMT 60 Chevy truck kits, one is clean and shiny, the other weathered. Pics to come tomorrow.

Looks good. Got a promotion at work so I've been spending a lot of time there. I haven't been able to work on my build for a while. I may be able to work on it for a little while Monday.

Some more progress. Chassis is done, engine installed, interior completed. After three coats of Future wax the paint is almost smooth and I have started the BMF.  |

I finally got some pics for you guys. This is about 26hrs worth of work. I haven't started the engine, interior, chassis etc. Just the body modifications which include shaved badges and emblems and some trim. I opened the doors and trunk and fabricated deeper front inner fender wells. I am going to do some minor tubbing in the back to bring the rear down some. I see a NASCAR suspension in the near future. I'm way behind. Alex.    |

how about the front wheel position? has anyone actually had the front wheels on and mocked it up? i spent a bit of time adjusting and making sure everything was ok and yet the front wheels are forward a little more than i think they should be. this is not a big deal, but thought i would ask. before answering this, yes my suspension is installed correctly etc... lol  |
