Hotrod 97 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) I decided to try something a little different and build a race car. This is an AMT ‘67 Chevelle Pro Street. Here is what I’m starting with. Edited November 30, 2018 by Ty Gontz Added “WIP” to topic title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuces Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Very cool... I would like to see how this one goes together.... Thank you!... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmad1957 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 That's actually a pretty cool kit. The tubbed chassis alone is great! Not a real AMT fan, but this kit goes together well Looking forward to your progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear, Ron. It’s kinda box stock but - I put the street rod air filters and velocity stacks on the engine, I’ll leave the hood scoop off but still cut a hole in the hood, and I found some Outlaw II’s in the parts bin that I’ll put on it.

NYLIBUD Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Check out Lex's modeling.They have a big selection of Outlaw/cowl hoods.This is the hood for the 67 Chevelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did check out Lex’s Modeling - wow, such a selection! My original plan was to put a Cowl hood on the Chevelle, but for this build I decided to go with air filters sticking out of the hood.

Hotrod 97 Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Got back to work on the Chevelle. As I said in an earlier post, I found some Outlaw II’s in my parts bin that I’ll put on it. Here is what the tires look like with the Outlaw II’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
