58 Edsel Pro Street

[Classic Plastic]

This is my first post and my first attempt at a major kit bashing. I combined a 58 Edsel Pacer with a 67 Chevelle Pro Street chassis.

Well CP, THATS somthin ya don't see everyday! Looks good though! I mean , a PRO STOCK EDSEL! If it din't look so mean it mighta been funny( A Funny Car, get it?) Either way, it looks great for a first time shot. I got a feelin you'll just get better! It's WAY out the box thinkin that makes this hobby SO MUCH FUN!!! You dun GOOD!!!

wow, thats a nice and clean edsel, good work A+++

[Jantrix]

That looks great CP, that's some imagineering alright. You should post up your tuner from the Cannonball CBP, there's plenty here that would appreciate that.

Now that's a tuff Edsel!! nice build.

[Slim Louis]

Nice, did you leave the Ford Motor in it?

[Bowtienutz]

cool I've been pilfering edsel kits for the chassis parts for other ford projects. I have lots of spare bodies. Can you post more pictures of the chassis and interior fit ?

Let's see... would a PRo street Edsel be a Predsel???

maybe ford shoulda built them like that too! nice work keep building and posting.

nice CP, I like the look's of that better than the would be stock version THUMB'S UP!!!!!

I used the Chevelle engine nothing fancy (very simple). The fit was good! The chassis requires a little carving on it to make a good fit with the body.

The interior was stock (from the Chevelle kit). Except for a few additions. I would suggest modification to the dashboard (from the Edsel kit) to get the best fit. Possibly just scratch building something.

Thanks for your positive comments guys!
