Yeah man I agree..I think Matt Conte (Luka Cee) used to resin cast them..wish someone else would so I don't have to buy a whole kit or a parts tree off ebay for way too much just for headers lol. But thanks, its coming along, should hopefully start falling together soon.

Added a sump to the gas tank and painted and dirtied up the chassis to make it look like a driver.

No problem, maybe its not warped but looks like the roof got a little smashed while in the box? I've seen alot of newer molded AMT/round 2 models that have been deformed from the way they were packed in the box.

Have you test fit the body on the chassis? I dont know if its just a weird angle but that body looks pretty warped. Might want to check that before you go any further.

Roll cage is done and painted and interior bucket is complete..onto the chassis now.

Thanks! I think it was 12 gauge jewelry wire from Michaels.

I added some BMF around the windows and glued in the glass to figure out how much room i have to the headliner for the cage. This roll cage has been kicking my butt, keep needing to tweak and cut and rebend the bars to get it to tuck up close to the headliner. I must have test fit the body chassis and interior together 30 times to get to this point lol. While I was waiting for the glue to dry on the roll cage I added a basic 4 point harness to the bench seat also.

Got my photoetch set in the mail and put the emblems on. Those tiny fender emblems with seperate engine size script really tested my patience lol..but got them on. Then laid on some duplicolor clear coat.

Haha yep tried to make them look a little used and rusty.

Another mock up to stay motivated..also wired the engine. Used Greg's scale model accessories distributor with 90° plug boots and wires, really nice stuff!

Thanks! That came from Texas 3D Customs. Not sure if he sells them separately but it was a package deal with a small block chevy that I bought.

Yeah I like the color too, makes me want to build some other 60s GM cars in this shade down the line. I've seen other people use this color though and it turns out alot brighter of a green. I think the combination of silver base with light coats of the green gives it more of a pale metallic green like this.

Got some paint on it today. Primed it, then tamiya gloss aluminum, and then mist coats of tamiya pearl green. Came out looking pretty good. Going to wait a day or so to put some clear on it. Leaving the hood in primer since thats how the car was in most of the pictures.

Thanks!

Thanks! 70s, 80s and 90s are definitely my favorite eras of drag racing.
