Thanks guys, doing some assembly. Hope to have pix this week end.

Thanks for the interest. I'm working on the custom Olds but will fit this in some.

losely or lusely?

I really like what you have done here. Well thought out and flows wells. Now you need one of these PE pieces.

RIGHT!

I've been riding Harley's for many years, Your son must be one bad biker to MAKE a guy in a truck pull over! Bike vs. Truck? Trucks always win!

No No, that's a GOOD thing!

Real nice work here. Using Vette quarter panels, BRILLANT!

Very well done. The chrome fender trim with the paint behind it is a great touch.

No, I just happen to have a small stash.

Here's one I did a few year ago...

I hate to let good parts go to waste. And since I'm using the BBC from a Camaro kit. This is what the body will become. It's loosely based on a early 70's dirt car. I wanted to show some of the body mods before applying filler. You can see them in white styrene. The nose and wheels are from FRW, And the hood is from a later Camaro. The chassis is being recycled from an older build and will be modified quite a bit. Thanks, James

Size does matter!

Regardless, it will be a sweet Camaro.

Thanks guys, I was sweating on the color but finally got it!

Still stunning!

Not quite settled on the interior yet, but I think it will be light colors. Maybe white and gold? No need to heat the punch. I take a little out of the inside of the tube with the point of the blade, then cut to length. After that I stand the stubby on end and tap the tool with a light hammer. I only had one that split, but I did hit it to hard! I used 3/32" tube, it's a little bigger than the metal stacks I have seen and that is the look I wanted. You could use any size.

I like the rear treatment, and if I may. The window should be closed in some as you stated.

Thanks Dave, here it is fresh out of the spray booth. It'll set for awhile before BMF.

Thanks guys, John, the stacks where made from EverGreen tube. I used the leather tool to flare them after thinning out the edge a little with a knife. Yes that is a BBC from the Baldwin Motion Camaro kit, I did fill in the outer stripe on the roof and the head lights just seemed to fit. They are from the Modified Stocker hauler kit. The idae was to simplify the body without making it look to much like a Chevy. Thanks again for the comments.

I made a hasty choice the other day, and deleted my own post. I have made an attempt to set things right and will start a new post for this build. I have the final body color done and I'm very happy with it at this point. I'll post more as time allows. I welcome your comments or questions about this build, thanks guys. James

I have discovered the extra $$$ for an original most times is worth it. While it is nice to see repops, I do hope the manufactures would at least clean things up before distributing. I have been disappointed more often than not, with the re-released kits. I hope you build your truck Dr. sounds cool.

That looks pretty good.
