I do have to ask, were the Yenko stripes supposed to end in the center of the front wheel opening?
Steve
I've seen them run in front of and behind the wheel and since this is a "what if" build I didnt stress about it. they are the 69 camaro decals

kurt, this is a great project looking real nice so far never realized the 1UZ v8 was in a kit. may have to find one. looking forward to more
-
some more progress.
made a mount for the front bumper/bashbar so the bumper can be easily attached.
also made a wench with the motor and spool. wrapped some wire around it just to see how it looked. this snaps in place so when it comes to detailing and painting it will be much easier.
wench set in place
needs some fine tuning but I'm happy with it. this is becoming a fun project
thanks for looking!

thank you Francis

He took me for a ride once around the block banging gears in it and it's something I'll never forget. You're truly capturing how cool this car was. A 454......simply the next level . cheers, tim
thanks Tim that's what makes these cars so great something most newer car wont have.

thanks for looking!

some really good work going on here

hi all! I've wanted to build this car for so long finally going to start it. also building it for this years cannonball!
a really odd movie most never heard of but it had a cool car. finally gathered the parts to get going. I'm using a amt 65 mustang and a amt 67 mustang since the chassis is all molded together. ill be building it pre-fire most likely.
to start I trimmed the wheel wells on the 67 frame to fit under the body. modified the firewall so it mounts the way it should (for mockup)
found some rear leafs for the rear that will fit the tires so trimmed off the 67 springs and added these
then made some blocks for the front to set ride height.
now I can make a front suspension knowing where it needs to set.
trim the wheel wells and bring the tires in some.
thanks for looking! comments always welcome and appreciated

this is a great build and some good info here. the gtx chassis and parts are a good fit to the 68. I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever find a 68 to replicate my dad's! anyway great work looking forward to more

thanks kit!
On 3/8/2020 at 11:18 AM, Snake45 said:Pretty cool!
Yenko was also into using Pontiac Rally II wheels in 1968, another option to consider (that would really cement the Yenko connection).
I never knew that. pretty cool seem to just use whatever they had avalable then

spent some time on the wheels today. taking the bare rally from the mpc Corvette the centercaps from the chevelle kit wheels and the trim rings from the 32 Ford.
the trimming of the centercaps from the kit
had to trim the rings so they set into the wheel
added some wash to the ribs and centercaps thinned down the body through the wheel openings then mounted to the tires and a quick mock up for ride height.
pretty happy with how the wheels look and fit. alot of time to do some wheels and tires but it's better looking than the kit part and was better to detail. still need to put the decals on the centercaps to complete them
thanks for looking!
comments welcome

small progress update
the kit frame was open at the top and really noticable. I boxed in the front part of the frame and painted it.
sprayed the floor pan and started detailing. also sprayed the exhaust in a different way than I normally do with a mix of aluminum, stainless steel and jet exhaust colors. stull going to add washes and some weathering to the chassis just like the engine to give that used but clean look.
thanks for looking!

Jason, a few issues I had with this kit were:
The hood doesn't quite fit flush with the header. Easy fix.
The grille also doesn't fit quite right. The headlight bezels and grille stick out too far. I got mine as close as possible and still had to trim the bezels at the top to get them flush with the header.
The tail light panel and rear bumper will fit much better if you trim off the lip on the bottom of the trunk. I had to trim mine after it was painted and assembled.
The wheel well lips are too thick and don't terminate like they should towards the bottom. Very noticeable in 3/4 views. Another easy fix.
If you aren't particular about interiors, you'll be OK. If you are, you'll have your work cut out for you.
thanks for the heads up I'll address these before paint

thank you everyone for all the wonderful comments on this build! some very kind people here
-
finally finished this one up and It is a great kit. built this one stock after a 1:1 i restored. some wiring brake lines and fuel lines were added. some slight weathering/grime added to look more realistic and made some trim for the fine to break the two tone
have a couple more wagons and sedans in the stash good to know they build well
thanks for looking!
on to the next build...

Well I am glad I inspired you. I was not aware my build was on a resin website. Do you have a link?

I intended to build a 68 Yenko Chevelle but found in my research that Yenko did not make any Chevelles in 1968. So... I just kinda winged it.
this chevelle is what inspired me to build this one! I am painting it yellow and black. it's nice to see a build thread and all the work that went into the build. i came across a picture of this car on a resin website and just fell in love with it
