  1. Got a little work done scratch building a custom intake & a mock up with the wheels.
  2. Slow progress on this build but I did manage to get started on the scratch built intake system.
  3. Well laid some paint on the engine block & the valve covers & oil pan tonight and also pre drilled the valve covers for the spark plugs.
  4. I have two colors in mind but have not decided yet on which one I will choose. I know the interior will be a matt white with a black dash & carpeting which will go with either one of the colors I choose.Will also be scratch building a hood scoop which I'm going to try to make functional.
  5. Well have finished most of the body work & had to rework the hood so that the fitment of the hood to body looked correct & body is in primer. Also finished up making a roll bar & painted the center of the wheels.
  6. This is the Pro Street version that was just reissued a couple of months ago.
  7. Mike the carbs are pewter and I purchased them at the NNL West this past Feb.
  8. Started on the body work & was thinking of converting the carbs to fuel injected carbs. Not sure on what color yet so if you have any suggestions on color feel free to add your two cents on the color.
  9. Try Keith Marks he may have them or might make them for you.
  10. Next build 1970 Coronet Super Bee. Color not sure yet.

  15. ] Aventador is finished but having an issue posting pictures now. Don't have photo bucket I have picture files (Mac Book Pro) & I get a warning after I choose file to download that attached file is to big but never had this issue before.
  16. Thank you John I really appreciate the support ! Hope to get this finished this weekend & start on the next build which I have not decided on yet but will probably be a Muscle Car of sort plus I hope to get a few built for NNL West next year.
  17. I purchased the AMT 69 Hurst Olds Cutlass kit a few months back & was wondering if anyone has built this kit yet. Was thinking of possibly making this my next build.
  18. Little more progress this evening. I have finally polished out the side mirrors & have the PE mirror parts installed also & the PE parts look nice installed & also picked out a license plate to install. I'm hoping to maybe wrap up this build this weekend & I have already pulled out another kit for maybe my next build.
  19. Made some progress this evening. Finally have the three piece glass installed & installed to the rear hatch & also have the door glass in & the door panels installed to the inside of the doors. Still have to install front & rear side marker lights & seat belts & belt latches & windshield etc....etc mostly small details.
  20. Went to local HS yesterday and was able to get a odorless CA glue to glue in the rear deck windows which I may do this evening.
  21. Made a little more progress this afternoon, got the door sills & side vent assembly's installed & the engine compartment cover & the side glass on both sides. Been having a little trouble installing the three glass pieces that sit over the engine compartment & attach to the under side of the hatch, they are at an angle & sit in recessed slits one on top of the other so going to hobby store tomorrow to see If they have any CA glue that will not fog the clear plastic pieces.
  22. More progress today! Got the headlamp covers on & the rear plus the side panels & side vents for engine cooling & brake cooling.
  23. Thank you Walter ! Working on getting the headlamp covers on & the rear tail lamp covers on today.
