James2 Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 How about a stock wheelbase "STREET FREAK" Chevy II... Just for kicks last year I relocated the rear wheel openings and since it is still snowing outside I went ahead and stretched the frame to fit the new wheelbase. After I get the interior tub and chassis lined up I'll continue with tubing the engine compartment and roll cage. Wheels and tires from the parts box...
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Nice start. What did you do to relocate the rear wheel wells?
Snake45 Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Nice! I've been wanting to try that for a long time. I think I'm gonna just use the '66 Nova pro street chassis, though.
Deuces Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 That's an idea... Pro street chassis with a gasser front end.... ?☺️?

Once I found the correct wheelbase, subtracting the kits wheelbase told me how far to move the opening. Cutting, sliding to piece back and filling the gap with styrene. A little body filler and there it is.
James2 Posted March 22, 2020 Author Posted March 22, 2020 Not much detail just a little shelf model. I have a few things to finish up and paint. I polished the glass and hope to tint it to match the paint. The headers are scratch made with styrene and shrink wrap. That scoop is a modified Impala piece.
'70 Grande Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 I'll be watching this one as it progresses; you're off to a great start!
ChrisBcritter Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Nice! Tough-looking machine - and good job fixing the wheelbase.
