otherunicorn Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I had little trouble with my 76 front end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bismarck Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Me too. Had to sand a lot of the side marker light detail off, but I fought it into shape. I didn't run into the hood fit problem that this kit is known for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardnerpag44 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 A little more progress on this , as I have decided to build a short track pavement stock car and by the rules I used both buckets to make a racing seat for this , and using parts trees for the roll cage , have all marker lights...door handles...wipers...rear window chrome and hinges...and name scrips removed and drilled out where the holes should be . Getting the tires and wheels together from a ASA Camaro stock car kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJ Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'm still trying to blend in the rear side window openings, it's slow progress but I'm getting there. It looks like the axles will need shortening too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJ Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Looks GOOD in primer too!!! Thanks Kevin. It might still be in primer at the end of the month at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bismarck Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Can't go wrong with Cragar wheels and primer!! My first car in high school was a '68 chevy II Nova that had that exact primer paint job and wheel option. Drove it that way for 3 year's before painting it black, then selling it to join the ARMY.

disabled modeler Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Funny thing is AMC used Craiger wheels on some of their car straight from the factory...one of my late uncles cars had them and he bought it new. AMC offered a lot of options many of them were wild ideas and cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I've started work on the interior by making a forward extension to the load bay using the rear seat backrest and front spoiler. After some trimming it was fitted to the interior tub. The headers have been fitted to the engine which has been test fitted to the chassis.

bismarck Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Lookin good Tim!! I think i'm gonna leave the rear seat out of mine for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardnerpag44 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Thanks Kevin appreciate that and the end result on the seat still needs painted but finished More soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bismarck Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 That seat looks like the real deal!! I found a split bench out of the amt '71 charger kit that's going in the Gremi after the deadline is met. Fits just right with a little persuasion. Along with a set of slapper bars, sideview mirrors, and maybe a rearview mirror. But not until AFTER the build-off is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherunicorn Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I had no electricity all day yesterday, so I worked on this, including sitting in the dark, working with a LED headband light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b-body fan Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 The clock is ticking so I figured I'd better make some progress. I was hoping this would come out better. My work schedule has been brutal this month and I've had other things going on. Anyhow, just a few details and some touch-up left and I'm going to call it done. This has been a lot of fun, I wish I could have spent more time on it. Hope you like it. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bismarck Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Looks good Mike!!! I got a little bit more done on mine tonight. Got the glass in it, and did some motor work. I should have it finished up by Tuesday night. Do we post picks of our builds after the deadline Thursday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bismarck Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I also spotted your Harley peeking out from behind your gremmi. Those Chromed rims look alot better than the black!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
