Picked up this chevelle 3n1 a while back and decided to do a quick build on it. Doing mainly box stock with snall suspension mod in the rear to make it sit lower. Other than that just a simple build. Have most of the motor together just need to run wires and headers. Car interior is a nice peanut butter tan and body will be hot red with white stripes.

Just a thought but id put some dents in the body panels aswell. Patina looks awesome but a car that old and beat would moat likely have been banged up a bit too. But your build just a thought. Vety creative tho

Thanks again. Will be watching this

Wheels and brakes done. Shes coming along. Almost ready for final assembly

Clear coat on the body, and body parts. Looks good besides the hood. I guess i didnt put enough coats of paint on it or something after wet sanding it again and clear coating i had plastic showing through. So that needs to be sanded and repainted. Its coming together tho. Rest of the panels just need a final wet sand and buffing and theyll be done then will start assembly

Got the first coats on the body parts, engine coming along. Need a few more coats then wet sanding and clear. Trying to find somethings to do to break up all the black. All interior is black, body, chassis and underbody. Anyone have any ideas on ways to break it up. Really only color i have is the motor and brake calipers

Where was the show at? Im in RI. Been looking for shows in the area but havnt found much

Cameo looks sick. Both do to be honest even tho im not a ford guy. Will be following these builds.

So havent had time to spend in the shop the past few days. Got down there today and made just a little progress. Have the ride height set. Can see the motor clears fine. Also ordered a hood from comp resins. Not happy at all. Thought it would look good but fits like garbage. I re worked it quite a bit and still has a ways to go to fit correctly. Not sure now if i want to use the stock cowl hood or the ram air hood. Thoughts?

Its coming along slowely. I think i like something and go with it till its almost done then decide i dont like it and start all over so i will hopefully get more done tomarrow. Yours looks very nice. Like the paint especially

Ya its has air ride

Oh ok

The link is not working for me

Looking at the reference photos it looks just like it however the one i posted has shaved door handles where this one has them. So not sure 100% if its the exact same car

Awesome i looked but couldnt find any other views of the camaro 1:1. Ya i think it needs to go up just a little after looking at the pic

Engine block and pan are already assembled and it actually clears it fine. I thought that would be an issue aswell but has enough clearance

Ya no pics available

So what do you guys think of the stance? This is where i plan to have it sit. Think its close to the 1:1 and like how low it is. But do you think its too low and should be brought up a bit. Let me know what you think as im still not 100%. As it sits you can see how low the front cross member is.

Im not sure i plan to test it out with some different scenarios. However it is a laquer base and 99% of the paints i work with are water based. Just like working with them better. So not sure how they would work together. Would probably have to let it set for a while before shooting the candy

Looing mean so far. Cant see what you finish with

Lol hippy wagon? Lol think it would be cool to mist over a pearl color as a top flake. If it came out clean it would look neat. But ill keep it and figure something out
