I drilled out the kits velocity stacks, they fit the 3D print carbs pretty good!

Obviously dedicated to accuracy.  What Super Tricks and front tires are you planning to use?  1/16” styrene rod for the six point bar?  Putting one in my Camaro stocker today.  I make the main bar way too tall, then install the interior tub temporarily, and it finds its correct height as the holes in the floor board allow the bar to slide down.  Keep up the good work.

Thanks Ron,,,I got some wheels from the 69 GTX Pro street kit that look pretty close and I had some skinny no name tires in the parts bin,,,keeping the roll bar in this one kit stock

If I could find decals I'd do it,,,I guess Bedlam Creations could make them

Man Scott, that’s nice! I have been planning on doing that same car for years.I have everything I need to build it.For wheels,I am going to use Futturattractions’ excellent Crager Super Trick resin wheels. I ordered quite a few sets from him a couple years back for some future drag projects.
