this is an AMT kit and i am not 100% happy with it. it has no head light glass and full side windows. also metal axels and i am not the biggest fan of those but i am going to give it a whirl anyway. the wheels are from some aftermarket swamper tire sets that i ordered and rubber is from a restomod 69 chevelle kit and the motor is a supercharged small block from a 68 el camino kit i built for my dad a while back. feedback is always welcome.

a few more pics. I needed some hood clearence for the supercharger so I cut the middle out of the spare hood that came with the kit and added the cowl from an old junked up 69 camaro convertable and all is good for clearance now.

got some work done this weekend, i didnt realize that silver is not easy to paint. all in all i am happy with the progress. i also found some headlight glass that i can use which makes me feel better about this project as well. feedback is always welcome.

the paint is duplicolor honda silver. i dont remember what the name code is though. as for the motor, my dad wanted a replica of his 68 elcamino so i swapped in a carbed 396 from a chevelle kit i had. i figured i cant waste a good supercharger.
