ewaskew Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I like mixing body parts and coming up with something different and this is going to be a very nice looking build the way its going now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customsrus Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Started on the rear bumper, removed the Chevelle tail lights and will replace them with camaro units, may end up losing one of the tail lights. Glued the bumper to the body and ten added some material to the bottom edge of bumper. Scribed panel lines to the bumper and body. Bumpers will be body color.

Badluck 13 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 This is all working soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good,no detail is missed on this body conversion... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customsrus Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 While I am waiting on the putty to cure I began working on the interior tub and the chassis. I had to move the floor of the camaro interior up slightly to get a better fit. I had to add material to the front and rear portions of the camaro chassis to fit the chevelle body.

customsrus Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 I started working on the under hood area of the chevelle. I used the insert from the camaro and modified it to fit in the chevelle body using some sheet plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trans Am Erik Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 This is my kind of customizing! I love building concept cars too. You have a great design, I'll be watching this one. and thank you for not replicating that GTO/Ausralian based design. The only thing worse than that was the Bel-Air concept, cough cough T-Bird ripoff cough cough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
