Building a '70 Cougar Fastback to go with the '69.

Not going to make the finish line this year, lost all motivation on the GTO. I finished a couple builds this year , one started 16 years ago and another from 2016. Just started building again a month ago. I will try again next year.

My attempt of a 24 hour build.

This was mostly built from the parts box.

Finished this up a couple of nights ago.

Started this over sixteen years ago, finally finished.

Finally finished this up and took pictures

I have door panels,not perfect. But I thinkit will look good after it's painted.

Still have one seat to work on then the door panels. Don't think I'll ever attempt seats like this again. Got bumpers fitting pretty good and some small details that no one will ever notice.

Trying to make the Chevelle interior at least look like a stock GTO.

The GTO is on it way, A 64 Chevelle gave up its chassis engine compartment an interior pan. The rear seat and 67 Chevelle front seat will get new inserts and will have to scratch build the door panels. I cut the headlight buckets and grill off the bumper. Glued the headlight buckets inplace and sanded the fenders to fit them. I'll have to grab another kit for the bumper and the rear bumper will need widened.

Not sure it's the best choice. Headlights are going to be hard to make them fit good, the rear bumper is way to narrow. Interior is not good , front sears are the wrong year. And the chassis pan has to go. Definitely going to be a challenge to make it look good.

Put me down with a 67 GTO

You can use the chassis interior inner fenders , a pillars and part of the roof to make it more accurate.. The 73 74 Roadrunner had an isolated torsion bar and k member mount but it still better than the kit pieces.

Congratulations

Thank you guys. I have a little better understanding of the Radwood theme. I have a couple ideas if this ends up being next year's Cannonball. Guess I have already been working on a build tied to the Radwood theme

Not sure if I'm understanding the Radwood theme. I looked up videos on YouTube and it just looks like a bunch of stock vehicles from the 80' and 90's. What I think of at that time is Pro Street cars, wild mini trucks, lowered cars , bright colors and lots or graphics, billet aluminum,and mono painted cars, the Miami Vice style. I have never heard of this before, can someone help me with some pictures or more info on exactly what Radwood is ? Thanks.

My Cannonball entry for this year.

Really wasn't expecting to get this finished this year, but I made it. Not sure if this thing would make a cross country trip, but it was Run-What-You-Brung ,I'm not scared.

Couldn't find any taillights to fit , so I made some. Used some small rivets for the front center caps. Only ne a license plate and I'll be done.

Not much left to finish, do need to make a fuel cell to mount under the bed and a box for the battery.

Shouldn't be any problems making it to the starting line. Mostly some final assembly and touch ups.

Think I'll make it.
