It's very nice too! What is the kit you built this...? More pics, please!

That's awesome build, man! Very good looking Chevelle and good nostalgic race car. Can you post some more pics?

That's looking like killer I'm a big fan of PM/TDS racecars. This build is coming very nicely, keep on the good work and keep us posted!

Very well done. Good detailing all over and that paintjob is very good. One suggestion, those wheeliebars are littlebit too big ones. But anyway, very great model.

Very nice looking Chevy. Very nice paintjob and those tires and wheels are fitting perfectly to the body. Any pics from the engine?

I think, that absolutely Chevrolet rally wheels, not those Pegasus big ones. They just don't fit to the car. But very nice start, a good paintjob.

Very nice altered wheelbase pontiac. Can you post pics from engine?

Nice pics. Here in Finlad, there is one SS/AH Hemi Barracuda and it goes very nicely. That one looks nice too.

Man, that's awesome gasser! Looking nice and i love these.

Wow! It looks very awesome. Good detailing, keep on the good work and thank you for the mock up pic.

Those all are very nice! But i like specially that '60 El Camino. Is it resin body? I'm a huge fan of Late Great Chevys. One '60 Coupe Impala in the garage.

Of course Thanx for the nice comments guys!

Yes you can. That dipstick is just my bad. Have to change it. I failed.

I finished spark plug wires. They always slow down the engine progress. I just don't like working with them. I added a few of details too. Oilstick came nicely from tin. I put it between bench vice. Then I rolled it over MIG- welding wire. A bit of glue and it's good. Two other details are made of an MIG- welding wire. This is my best reference picture: In the box, there is no that kind of air cleaner. I must built one. From that picture I can see too how the details are and whre they go.

WOW!! Love the Edsels. This is going to be very awesome, keep on the good work!

This is very nice too! Is that body made of resin or is it from some model kit?

Wow, amazing build and i like this type of drag cars.

That's looking cool! Nice job on the modifications. I'm digging those fender skirts.

Very good looking X-frame Chevy! I'm diggin' these. In the garage, there is one '60 Impala Coupe. Only one thing, originally Chevy's 348'' was orange. But it doesn't matter too much, this is just nice! Good detail and nice paintjob. Is this the original Monogram's kit or Revell's lowrider kit...?

WOW!! That's so outstanding work that it interior looks like it came from Chevy factory 1969.

Absolutely great Chevy custom! Everything is very nice.

Thanks again for the pics. I have to buy that Mustang kit and take some parts from it. That means... One tube frame Mustang is coming! Have only one problem, no money .

Exellent pics! Thank you a lot! I had some pics already, but these are very welcome. Are those '67 Mustang inner fenders moulded to body? Are them looking like these?: http://www.ve3sy.com/pony/images/2003-08-18-inner-fender.jpg

Then under construction is front end of the frame. I had to remove original wheel wells and i must build front frame again because i had to remove original frame rail too. And after few hours of work i finished the front frame. I didn't have thin enough bar so i used too thik one. I made it thin enough with dremel. First i used sanding wheel wich is on the left side and then the other one. Finished whit sandpaper. Glued wit superglue. I made an edge from cardboard. It took about ten minutes. Then i made plug wires to the engine and it looks now more finished because of valve covers, manifold, carburetors and intake funnels (?). Carburetors i painted mix of Revell's 91 silver and 94 gold. Manifold i painted mix of Revell's 56 gun metal and 53 steel.

Work continues. Jo-Han kit's manifold is quite good, there is only a big groove on the center. I have to make a new front axle system from scratch. It's hard to find colour wich is close Amc's engine torquise. Then i finished sanding the chassis. After that i finished the engine blocks. First i removed all additional plastic. Then some styrene and bondo... Sanding and it was ready. Then i test fitted block sides and there is next place for bondo. I found a good paint to engine, it's acryl paint but i have no others... I painted the engine and it needed a bit clear. I painted wheel text and headers. I painted manifold but i forgotten it from the pic. Then i realized that Jo-Han's front wheel wells are very bad ones! I have two choices: Make them from scratch or start big modifications from '64 Dodge's wheelwells. Best ones are Jo-Han '69 Rambler American's wheel wells but they are moulded to the body and it's quite rare and expensive kit so scratch is the better choice. Continues on the next post...
