    Almost two years since my last update..... I finally finished another South Side Street Racers car, Crash’s Super Bee. This car was somewhat strange, it was purchased used. A 1970, 440 cubic inch engine, Torqueflite transmission, painted Vitamin C withe Burnt Orange bench seat interior, and a column shift car. Factory power drum brakes, and AM/ FM stereo. Here’s where it gets a little strange. The car when purchased had a Edelbrock intake and a Holley carb. Under the hood was the air grabber, it was thought the air grabber was used only on 6 pack cars. When Crash rebuilt the motor, it had the wider beam 6 Pack connecting rods. To this day I’m not sure if it was or wasn’t a 6 pack car. If it was a real one, what a rare car it would be. I could not find or make headers to fit this model, even failed solder. I finally gave up and used the stock manifolds as that was my only hold up, and I needed to get it finished. Here’s some pics, as always comments welcome.

    There is a process used when forming aluminum body panels called annealing where you take a torch an put some heat into the metal. After it cools it’s more pliable to work with and more complex curves can be formed. I love your build, looks great, and it captures the feel of a junior fueler.

    A while ago I purchased the Revell Motorsports version for the Reher & Morrison Pro Stock Camaro. I think what you ran into is what Revell did with this kit as it’s unbuildable as is. The body is the original 1984 released body with correct Crome tree and the newer version Summit Firebird Pro Stock chassis. I,ve included pics of original and the newer kit chassis. The chassis pans are completely different, and if you look closely at the body pic, the wheel base is close, but too narrow for the early Firebird/ Camaro bodies, the roof on the newer Firebird is substantially lower. This would create all kinds of fit issues.
