Mattilacken Posted October 21, 2020 Very impressive indeed! Great scratch building! Love the wheel and tire combo, where can I get hold of a set. Have a 96 impala that I want to make into a drag car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I envy your surgical application of glue in such closed quarters. I would be too old to attemps that... Ah, the joys of youth! Mine are made of wood, more forgiving for shakes. Getting older by the day, you know. Those struts are world class, they look 1/1. Keep on, impressive! CT yeah just some styrene stock to make it. I did have a casually that got glue everywhere 😅 you'd really never guess seeing your builds thats for sure On 10/20/2020 at 8:25 AM, crazyjim said: Very impressive work. thanks!

streetmachine11 Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) some more progress on the chassis. decided to try and make a rack and pinion. i was pretty happy with the result also made some more tubes for the firewall. finished the lower control arm mouts and made some motor mounts and a new motor plate. finally able to remove the jig for the engine. started making a front spoiler for the body and finally can set on all four wheels without the jig thanks for looking! comments welcome Edited November 2, 2020 by streetmachine11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Claude Thibodeau Posted November 2, 2020 Hi Jason! Top notch work all over, again. Bravo! I build 1/1 street rods and Pro-Touring for a living... and I must say your steering rack is spot-on. Even the retainers on the pinion case are spot-on. World class, really! CT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmericanMuscleFan Posted November 2, 2020 I agree with Claude, you have done a really good job on the steering rack, it's very convincing. This whole project is superb, you are going in the right direction Jason! 👌 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

streetmachine11 Posted January 14 OLD vs NEW made some new valve covers for the 932 old: new: made some headders, downpipes and charge tubes and firewall panels. headders need some fine tuning and cleanup but they don't look to bad and they clear everything which was a task in itself. might try to make my own intake and throttle body. going to start working on the front drive too. thanks for lookin!

beeRS Posted January 14 I’m loving this build. Fantastic fabrication skills. This going to be one awesome Impala! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Claude Thibodeau Posted January 14 Hi Jason! Like on a real car, tight quarters call for "packaging" magic. Looking at your exhaust/turbo combo, that makes the grade, bravo! CT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmericanMuscleFan Posted January 16 Your new valve covers are very beautiful Jason! They're 3D printed, I guess, if so what technology do you have FDM or SLA? What do you use as CAD software? You have a nice twin turbo setup by the way, as others have mentioned. 👍 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tortuga Kustomz Posted January 17 You're doing an amazing work man, you have a good direction on this, i have a question, what size of styrene tubing or rod are you using, i did use evergreen #222 on my roll bars and chassis work, for me they are easier to work with at this scale...
