Looks like a cool set up,what is the game plan?

[CodyZ28]

Not really sure. I've been wanting to build a big tire Monte for awhile and saw that hobby lobby had their models 30% off so I said why not and bought the Revell Monte and AMT Pro Street Nova. I'm using the chassis from the nova. I don't think I will be using anything but the body from the Monte. Not sure what to do about the rear suspension, might try to build a 4 link from scratch. I might build a new motor for it too. Maybe a Sonny's Pro Stock motor. Just going to kind of build it as I go with no specific idea.

that is typically how I roll too.Even if I start with a plan I tend to wing it.

Yeah, it'll be a "big" car.

Big tire, big hood, big block

Where did you get your hood and what motor are you using?

[envious8420]

I did the hood myself, the motor is a bbc w/twin carbs

What kit did you get the bbc from?

[CodyZ28]

Got some paint on it today. pretty happy with the way it turned out.

[SuperStockAndy]

That's a nice Pro Street Monte you got there!

[Kanedge]

Pro Street is always cool.

[CodyZ28]

Thanks, I'm really starting to get a soft spot for the prostreet cars. I used to be almost a die hard 10.5 guy.

I'm putting the interior together tonight. I don't have school til the 15th so I should have this car done pretty soon. Still can't track down a big block

looks like it might be a start. I want a tunnel ram intake and 2 carbs though. Can you usually use sbc with bbc parts on model cars and it still look right?

Why not buy the 427 from these guys and a tunnel ram.

Or get the Revell 69 Camaro L-72 427 Baldwin Motion car or the Revel '70 Chevelle 3n1 with the 454 and add a tunnel ram to it if you want a BBC.

I think I'm just going to use a gibson pro stock engine.

Interior is about 90% done.

Its a much darker black than the picture shows. I had to use the flash on the camera to be able to see anything.
