Resin cast 77 Buick Century body.

Site perfect. I'll be keeping an eye.

I'm glad you're doing this, I just got one of those bodies last week and was trying to figure out what frame to use. Definitely will be following along.

Very nice, who sells the body kit?

I like using the AMT donor chassis. One thing to watch, I did one the same way, put the splice where you did. It puts the transmission too far forward. 

It looks way worse on my car since the splice was wider.

I cast the bodies! I lengthen the drive shaft the same distance I stretched the chassis

and remove the top of the linkage on the transmission.

Then you've been there. I'm sure it will look great. Do you sell the kits? Nice to see you have the glass.
