Gray Smith Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thanks guys! They are aoshima advan rs-somethings..lol I think they are in the 19" wheel line, stripped of chrome and sprayed white. These are also flat rims, the nice deep lips come from other aoshima rims that have sep. lips on them. There was a very long process of deciding which ones to put on this kit...these won out. I'll try and muster some motivation to finish this one...it's actually pretty close...if I don't include and engine (which i'm almost at the decision) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris guthro Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 how about the amt 68 chev elcamino fuel injected big block. it could be done up to look like a 502! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Smith Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 how about the amt 68 chev elcamino fuel injected big block. it could be done up to look like a 502! I've actually thought of that since I do have one of those languishing in a box, I was going to use the efi big block out of the 67 396 SS then pop a supercharger on it...not a lot of room..might just go with the elky engine though..

Wheels Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) A Tahoe chassis under a C1500. I never even thought about that! This Sportside sat in a box for the last five years. After seeing Josh's post. I decided that I would go the same route! I mocked up this sportside as a 4x4 that I was going to do as a slammed in the weeds street machine.

Jordan White Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Whatever you do, don't leave the wheels chrome, otherwise they'll look like the cheap wheelcovers you can buy at Pepboys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Jessee Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 SS 454, huh? Here's the prototype. I built this for Tom Haverland in 1991 using a Sportside kit and a resin box from All American Models. Wheels were from a '32 Ford phaeton with centers from the Sportside kit. This was built for a product planning presentation, then started making the show circuit while they were tooling the new kit. Eventually they used this for the box art model in the first release, but airbrushed in different wheels and seats. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
