  1. OK body smoooooth, and ready to french the taillights, I'm using a stir straw from my local circle K store. OK gang here you go, after you smooth the rings from around your tail lights, nah you don't have to shave them, just gives it a smoother look, your gonna take your lil stir straws, and try and cut them as close to the angle as the inside of the tail light panel, don't have to be perfect, but you don't want to leave any gaps, then I use a piece of sprue, tree, to set the depth of the light, as I'm using '59 kaddy bullets, once you have it set, test fit, make sure the lights are as deep as you want them, mark the tree, sprue, and cut, then set back in, put the light back in, do any adjustments now, then pull the light, and super glue the tree, do that as many time's as you have lights, it don't matter how long you cut the tubes, you will have to trim them anyway, this is the way I french, have fun Note: OH when u go to put the whole thing in the tail light hole, you will have to come in from the back, now a secret I like doing, is taking a piece of flat plastic sheet, drill a hole in roughly a hair bigger then the tail light hole from the front, why? well when you place the straw in, it will slide into the support plastic you just made, and give u a clean glue spot, and hint. hint, support, fill and prime till you get that one piece look. try it u will like it
  2. Inspiration build, "SIGH" I'm gonna do this one, I have everything i need right here, this will be sorta just outa the box, with a few scratch built things, ummmm sorta: Using Windex as a dechromer, tho I'm sure ya could use Amonia, as that is the leading ingrediant in Windex, hmmmmmm, I got a jug of that too, should try it out see if it works: Most of the suspension that will be scratch built, so keep an eye out on here.
  3. WOW! go away for awhile come back, and BLING!, this is looking great man, keep it going.
  4. Living in deep Southern Az, there's not much you can do, but get your hobby stuff online, I have too many places to list, but when I'm in town I go to places like Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Southerlands, and Lowe's, find allot of good things at walmart, rattle can paint from O'Riely's parts store, as I'm a big fan of Dupli-Color paint, and we here will have a Hobby Lobby by the years end, cant wait for that, Tuscon is 70 miles one way, so yea allot of online shopping, and searching....

  11. Did I hear someone say, " ok scratch built working rear suspension, lets see what ya do with the front", wellllllll, hehehehehehehe, here is the first 1 of 2 coil over shocks, that will be going in the front, OH, and my cat helped too, he placed the hair, still have some clean up to do on it, just a mock up, an oh yea it functions.
  12. OK, this might confuse some of you, I changed the thread to Twisted Intentions Pro Touring Series, for a reason, there will be 4 cars to this, yea the cars are not common to being done into Pro Touring, an well, I'm just getting itchy fingers dieing to get started on the other 3 as well, BUT! yes they all will get finished, I just thought I would put them all into one thread, and see how it goes, as they all are Pro Touring, or, well, will be, so with out further ado, here are the next 3 on the block: 1965 Pontiac Bonneville: 1966 Buick Wildcat: 1969 Ford Galaxie 500 XL:
  13. Yes sir, an L88 scoop, tho there would if been less work had I used a Baldwin '70 chevelle scoop, as it slopes side to side, as where the vette slopes front to back, but I couldn't wait...
  14. here she is in her first primer, forgot to to the trim line on the nose, no biggie:
  15. Now that the ticket right there, thanx for this tip,
  16. Whew, ok Nascar front chassis, now added, gives me just a Lil lower ride hight, and I can use the roll cage and supporst, along with the front suspension, all from the Nascar, by the time this is done, you wont be able to tell where the stock '66 ends, and the Nascar begins:
  17. Moving right along, scratch built sway bar, not perfect, but still kewl, still need to do the locking nut:
  18. Phase 1 complete, for working suspension, on to phase 2:
  19. Looks like the NASCAR, suspension will fit, now for some minor modifications:
  20. This is my first ever Pro Touring build, so, it will be a kustom, note to self: next time use the Baldwin '70 chevelle L88 hood scoop, not the Corvette, Vette slopes front to back, Chevy slopes side to side, DOH!
  21. Got some goodies in the mail: 1970 Chevelle Rebuilder: Chevy Luv, Rebuilder: Chevy Extreme, Builder: Version 1 0f 2 Street Fighter, 1960 delivery: Version 2: Heard there were some issues with this kit, like the wheels don't fit under the body, mine has a dip on the right top side of the cab, easy fix: NOW CAN YA SMELL WHAT THE SAW IS CUT'N?
  22. Ok, maybe not a dualy in the proper sence, with super singles under the rear, and it's still in progress, but what the hey:
  23. I have mine pluged right in a surge proctector, an use that as my on/off switch.
