streetmachine11 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) small progress update the kit frame was open at the top and really noticable. I boxed in the front part of the frame and painted it. sprayed the floor pan and started detailing. also sprayed the exhaust in a different way than I normally do with a mix of aluminum, stainless steel and jet exhaust colors. stull going to add washes and some weathering to the chassis just like the engine to give that used but clean look. thanks for looking!

streetmachine11 Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 spent some time on the wheels today. taking the bare rally from the mpc Corvette the centercaps from the chevelle kit wheels and the trim rings from the 32 Ford. the trimming of the centercaps from the kit had to trim the rings so they set into the wheel added some wash to the ribs and centercaps thinned down the body through the wheel openings then mounted to the tires and a quick mock up for ride height. pretty happy with how the wheels look and fit. alot of time to do some wheels and tires but it's better looking than the kit part and was better to detail. still need to put the decals on the centercaps to complete them thanks for looking! comments welcome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenko was also into using Pontiac Rally II wheels in 1968, another option to consider (that would really cement the Yenko connection).

Codi Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I love your build Jason. Makes me smile as my brother was going to college and had a NEW 69' SS396 Chevelle. He took me for a ride once around the block banging gears in it and it's something I'll never forget. You're truly capturing how cool this car was. A 454......simply the next level . cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Exceptional work!! I do have to ask, were the Yenko stripes supposed to end in the center of the front wheel opening? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
