Thank you Jonathan!! i wish i could post some more progress but between track practice getting finished at 5:00 and then i have homework everyday im not getting much time to work on the cuda so hopefully today will give me some time to make some progress.

beautiful progress Bill!!

Geat start i love that color!! and not to hijack your thread or anything, If i remember right a '70 454 chevelle was the fastest muscle car in 1970

Thank you!!

i used my dads dremel and opened up the grill so now i just need to get my hands on some screen. (edit, after looking at the pictue ill have to do some cleaning up with the holes)

Great job!! and i love that color!!

well small update, the driver side header is finished and i started to make a collector out of some aluminum from a coke can and i got some red oxide on the front clip and started sanding to make shure the line i filled wont ghost through the paint

Beautiful work!!! almost looks like one i did awhile back in almost the same color!

Very cool!!

Great story and great start on the build!! i liike the little details you added in on it!

Thanks ill have to find me some of that brass! suspension looks great keep it up!

Thanks Jonathan!! in december ill be there!! Thank you very much!! Thank you Al ill shoot you a pm when i finish posting this! Thanks Fred yes i see what you mean about the headlights ill have to modify them with your advice! and I've never built any tamiya kits so ill have to see if my dad can cart me over to lowes so i can find some of that screen, and thanks again for the feedback it means alot!!

Thanks for the feedback!! i will have to check out that screen like stuff at lowes next time im over there. Btw Michael thank you for serving our country!!

I will end up opening up the grill but what will it put behind it that will look realistic?

cool project!! what do you use to make the hinges for the openig body panels?

Thanks Nick

Thank you Bill and Fred much appreciated! Fred, i was leaning more to the air pan for it too so ill probably end up going with that. I got a little progress when i got home from school yesterday, scratched up some headers and i got the valve covers de chromed. I also got the mirrors on the body.

Thank you Pete and mike I thought that since it seemed pretty quiet nobody was following along but if they're just silently following along ill keep posting although I love getting getting good and bad feedback and suggestions because it gives me a drive to keep plugging away at it thanks again, Jason

started on building some headers for this thing and de-chromed the valve covers and got the mirrors on i almost forgot them

Seems like nobody is interested in the build anymore so i guess ill stop posting updates to this thing.

When you say the tires are sticking out more than you like do you mean like sticking out of the body? if so you would have to narrow the rear end. the tubs are made out of sheet styrene that i glued two pieces together to make it thicker and stronger and then just super glued to the chassis after the kit wheel wells were cut out. the interior is sheet styrene as well, for the design i went outside and looked at my dads 1:1 vega interior that has an tin interior. hers some more pics of the interior

some more progress, started scratching up a kirkey race seat and drilled the valve covers for ignition wire. also sanded the chassis and removed the brake and fuel line that was molded in

Looks awesome!!

i absolutely love that engine! great work on the chassis too!

i got the holes from where the exhaust ended in the rear valence i think its called? anyways i also got the pin holes in the bottom of the hood filled, and filling gaps on the chassis. i still need to get the other tub finished before i can get some paint on the chassis
