  1. Well so far everything is lineing up perfectly. the engine is 90%done and painted chevy blue the 66 chassie fits good I will post pictures asap.
  2. I AM WISHING ALL OF YOU A HAPPY MODEL FILLED NEW YEAR!
  3. My project is taking the bland 76 caprice and use the 66 impala chassie engine wheels and make the 76 look better.
  4. you live in new mexico there are bone yards many a war bird still await destrvction so try that see pictures on the internet for help.
  5. Some like a mustang some like the chargers and others the G.T.O or the GSX or a chevell but give me a 4bbl 4speed 2 tail pipes OLDSMOBILE 350 ROCKET!
  6. 3 duces and 4 speed a 389 listen to her tech up and hear her whine gonna rev it up turn and blow it out lil' G.T.O
  7. Serch images of 78 pontiac firebirds to answer your question they were silver,blue red any color really.
  8. Chevrolet used the x frame from 58 to 64 and 65 restarted the box frame.
  9. Heres something else, the median price of cars from 55-75 changed little after 1980 they tripeld the cost. my parents had to have the computer replaced 2x on one of their cars costing a bundle.
  10. Heres something to chew over watch tucker a man and his dream. many of todays safety ideas came in 1948! Oldsmobile had air bag opt in the early 70's on a few of their cars
  11. If memory serves me right amt retooled a 57 chevy add the bare metal with it and the pro shop came w/photo etched parts and rubber hoses. back in the late 60s early 70s a few corvette kits had real springs
  12. I think that its unfair to say that all car builders cheap some of us here have a fixed and or low imcome. and simply cant afford higher costing kits.
  13. Even if my wife could afford a new car or pickup we would not waste that much money on something that cost to much when it goes wrong. to have fixed.
  14. G.M. X- FRAME STARTED WHITH THE 58 TILL THE LAST YEAR BEING 64. NOW WITH THAT SAID if the car I was driving last friday was newer it would have been totaled.
  15. that depends on what year 63-74 have frame cancer we had a 64 in school the body and int were like new but the frame rotted into! gm.s x-frame wasnt a good choice that impala wouldnt make it with a 66 impala
  16. most of us know that gm's x frame setup isnt like a strait box frame.
  17. If I had that kind of money I'd buy a real car . a 57 chevy and still have alot leftover.
  18. We live across the road from a FORD dealer a 2012 explore can set you back 38,549-49,152 dollars! yikes. and we thought model prices were bad what you see from takeing a walk
  19. In my own defence I have bought both 66 wagons and el camino as big lots had the wagon for 6.99 I had to buy the el camino to get the stock parts thats how revell makes more money
  20. I have built 2 of them never had that problem if you have the 66 wagon the dash from one would work otherwise trim the sides down a tad.
  21. I agree they should of put in stock tire . with that said if they ever reissue the 66 chevelle wagon,I hope they issue it with stock wheels and hood from the 66 el camino.
  22. I haue the 90's issue cut out the engine and put the 66 cheuelle wagons motor and tranny ..I want the new one so I can kit-bash it with the 99 chevy pu
  23. Yep that one and to top it off didnt they do the samething again with a PT CRUISER?
