Looking real good. Nice work on that dash.

Good start.

Looks great. Nice work.

Looks great Bob.

Got a rolling chassis...........

Thanks.

They are really cool. Mine will never be that good. Not sure if I should even continue, but I've already messed up the kit, may as well see if I can make something out of it.

That is some really nice work on those. Did you scratch build the tubs? Scratch building is way out of my league right now. I just got back into the hobby about 5 months ago. I've never attempted to do anything like I'm trying now, all my builds have been straight OOB. You are correct about the stance, and I'm afraid mine is not going to be low enough. I'm still trying to work that out.

Thanks Chaz.

Thanks. It's partly worked out. Still have to get the rear end to fit. Also thinking ahead on what engine I want to use. I was thinking a hemi, got an extra one in the 32 Ford 5 window kit. But then there's the problem of getting it to fit in the chassis. This is going to be a lot of work. I'm going to try not to give up on it.

Cut it off right above the wide cross piece, then cut it down the middle and took out some. Put it back and checked it, looks like it's ok. Now to get the axle housing and differential to fit.

Put on some floor polish for the clear coat.

It will need to be cut just forward of that wide crossmember because that is where the axle will glue in. Then the axle will have to be reworked to get it to fit the frame that has been narrowed. I'm sure it can be done, but may be too much for me. But as soon as I finish this Camaro I'm working on I'm going to dive in and see what I can come up with. I'm thinking about trying the complete frame from the 66 Nova kit to see if it will work with the truck body/bed.

I think I done got in over my head. Got the bed cut out for the big tires and tubs, but looks like I'm going to have to narrow the frame and axle housing to make this work. Not sure if I should use the kit supplied axle and frame or try something else. I will need to mull this over for a while.

Inspired by another member's pro street truck, I decided to give this a try. I've started the tubbing process, but not sure if I'm going with these tubs or some other option. I cut these from an old plastic pill bottle but they seem really soft and not sure how they will react with CA glue. The tires and wheels are from the AMT 66 Nova Pro Street.

Thanks much. I see what you saying, I'll see if I can split them.

Engine is ready. I had been buying pre-wired distributors for my engines, but decided to try wiring the kit one this time. Turned out ok.

Thanks. Thanks.

Thank you much.

It's looking great Bob. You have inspired me to try a Pro Street mod on a 66 Chevy Fleetside I just got from HL. I will probably ruin a perfectly good kit, but what the heck.

Nice work. Love the color.

Thanks. Thank you.

Worked on the trim. I used foil on the bottom trim and it worked out ok. But when I tried it on the windows it would not stick. So I gave up and used a silver sharpie, but with my shaky hands I didn't do a very good job.

Thanks. Thanks Thanks. I've had it in my stash for a while now. Been avoiding it because of the trim work, but I'm going to give the foil another try. Thank you.

Thanks Thanks.
