    Great phantom/what-if project! Fabulous engine work. Special shout-out for using black plug wires, and routing them correctly AROUND, not over, the valve covers. Drive on! B)

    yes I have a thing for phantom/what-if yenko cars. even did my 1:1 camaro! I know plug wires go over the covers from the factory but it looks better when there routed around them.

    Holy Toledo ! That Mark IV is a work of art in its self ! Even has the leads on the freakin' ignition coil ! 

    Is it a 427 or an L-78 ? 

    yep it was an all day project that engine! it is the l-78 396 from the kit. it's such a nice looking engine I kept it instead of using the 427 from the Corvette. but I'll still put the 427 markings on it anyway visually the same engine

    That engine looks awesome.  What do you use for the small gauge wiring?

    the small wire is detail wire from pro-tech

    The engine looks nice! Great details! I built this kit a few months ago and thought the belt and pulley setup looked weird. The belt and pulley setup on this kit is actually wrong for a non A/C engine. The alternator should be mounted on the right side of the engine instead of the same side as the p/s pump. Not a big deal. It just doesn't look right with both accessories hanging on the same side.

    yes I thought it looked weird also it just looks to "heavy" on one side. I may move that to the other side so I can make the power steering lines visible and make a more convincing belt instead of the kit part

    Very nice; love that yellow! Can you share what paint exactly that is?

    ( I have a Dakota that would look good on )

    the paint is valspar aerosol from home depot. I think it was called light gold or something like that? I'll check the can tonight

    I really like your build. But I have noticed you missed a few things that will help finish it off .  First you have missed the marker lights need red and orange . Second you have missed the wiper from the engine bay. Thirdly the fender trims on the front valance needs to be added. Also you have added the A/C pump but you missed the A/C radiator and pipes which go in front of the engine radiator . Mr Mopar is correct about the door slots. But as you have finished the painting there is nothing that can be done to rectify this. I hope you dont get offended by the comments I have made. They are meant to help improve a really nice model into a great model.

    I noticed the markers but I overlooked the trim on the valance lol easy fixes. i did know about the wiper motor but dont have one for it. i looked in my other two kits and they are missing the wiper motor also so I'll have to figure out something for all of them.

    the a/c hose doesnt fit with the air cleaner, distributor, rad and heater hoses all in that area. but now that I think about it, I may just make one to fit and parts of the original line. also would like to put a washer bottle on the fender.

     

    it's a shame the bee didnt come with the door louvers they look good on these cars. I just used a car I found online for reference.

    no offense taken at all. cant know everything everyone here is always helpful when it comes to the details!

     

  5. this one was a mix of kits and parts. hit a few roadblocks during the build but overall it came out nice. cut up and set decals from different kits to make it look the part. texture coated the valve covers, added the "dip" color to the control arms little but of overspray and some light weathering on the drivetrain

    They're all really nice models Jason! The '17 Camaro is especially nice and I like the color combo on the '68 Charger!

    both were fun builds thanks!

    NICE JOB,  with using the 56. i started this subject build some 25 to 30 years ago. been out of the box a few times through the years for additional working at it. i used the amt 55 nomad. yours went real smooth. awesome the way yours came together. very clean

    Resized_20200112_153718_360.jpeg

    your doing yours the same way as far as body cuts. it's such a good looking car. I have plans to build another one and also the Corvette corvair concept. keep on that project looks like you've got a great start would love to see it finished

    Streetmachine 11, now we have a little problem here, we are seeing two different buildings: yours, based on a '56 Nomad, and Superbird McMonte's, witch I might say is based on the '55 Nomad... I too would like to build the four '54 Motorama Corvette "jewels" so, after some research I did buy a '55 Nomad kit, along with a '53 Corvette BUT, what I think would be great, it would be to get some blueprints of this particular Nomad, to get the correct wheelbase in order to see exactly where to make all the  "surgical" cuttings... You lengthened the '56 chassis how many mms? Is the '55 kit chassis the same size of the '56's? are they the same size in 1/1, or are they different?

    And, of course, you will get a great model in the end!

    the concept car was built from the 55 nomad. the only reason I used a 56 was because I had it on hand. this was built for a 2 month build off. the 55, 56 and 57 are the same cars (I own a 57 bel-air 2d hard top). the way I built mine was cutting and building the body then I centered the wheels and extended the chassis to match. I couldent tell you how much that was. then used the stove bolt coupe engine since it was the correct engine for the concept car. hope this helps!

    Very beautifull build!

    Love how you stretched and modifyed the boddy!

    Great result!

    thank you.

    Wow!

    Way to go, Jason!  Hella good project.

    thanks. this is more or less finished i would just like to make some side trim to finish it off

  9. actually finished 8 total more than I thought had alot going on in 2019 bit managed to get a few good builds out of it. the corvette took the longest to build using three kits to finish. the hudson and charger really came out better than expected and were a blast to build

    That is some fantastic chassis building.  I also used the '57 Chevy pro mod chassis as a pattern for an EXP I am building.  Looking forward to more updates.  Are you planning on removing the front inner fenders?  Might give you better clearance for exhaust and turbo tubing.

    yes I have removed them to make room for the turbos. will probably make the front clip removable also

    Really nice work. Where did you find the wheels and tires?

    wheels and tires are from futurattraction. the rim's are billet specialties

    Nice topic, Great to see some intensive sratch building one the frame/cage in order to create an exclusive model. Superb job on the rear axle too!

    Keep doing your great work!!!

    not often you se a full size Chevy done plus it's an opportunity to try making a chassis to fit thank you
