This is my newest project. I'll remove all emblems, trim and door handles and open all of the doors and the hood. I'll have to make a custom doghouse because I had to modify the floor up front to accept the large diameter wheels. It'll be a work truck used to tow one of my pro streeters so tools and all kinds of accessories will be included. I'll buy some resin airbags to give it that custom look underneath. I haven't decided on a paint scheme but thats a long way off. A NASCAR suspension or a scratchbilt one is in the future also. Basically the only thing stock will be the window glass unless I figure out a way to change that. Alex.    |

I'll probably use the stock engine with the TPI fuel injection from the Monte Carlo SS kit. Thats if the Chevy and Dodge gods allow it.

Thought maybe you would put a Hemi in it. Oh, I thought about it but the space is so restricted and viewing it will be limited. I'll save the Hemi for a more visible engine bay. Alex. |

Strangely this kit came with a complete engine but the hood is molded closed. I'll open it up and detail the engine compartment. Alex. |
