hOLMS Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 (edited) Hello all, This one is over on the drag racing side, figured I would also post here since it is on the bench. This is one of two Pro Mod projects I currently have in process. I started this Chevelle as a Super Gas build close to a year ago and all donor running gear/chassis/motor parts were from the Pontiac STP Firebird Pro Stock. This was ready for chassis and body paint when I decided to experiment with turning into a pro mod, so the chopping began. The parts from the STP P/S have now been abandoned in favor of a scratched plastic chassis and mostly scratched running gear and motor. One thing is left from the P/S Firebird....molded Chevelle roof was cutoff and replaced with the firebird roof. Posting some pix of progress, hope you enjoy. Anyone who takes time to look, a sincere thanks, comments welcome. This has been the most fun I've ever had in scale to date. Started as Super Gas build Chopping to begin Pro Mod build Edited May 19, 2011 by hOLMS

roush16 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Another amazing and inspiring build like the Corvette. You are an artiest. Keep em coming.
hOLMS Posted May 19, 2011 Author Posted May 19, 2011 Hi all, thanks for the comments. I've been working a bit more on the rear of the chassis and close to the point of paneling and making mounting brackets. I've also worked a lot on cleaning/smoothing the inside of the body from all the body mods and established mounting points. Now that the chassis is set, suspension start is getting closer. Thanks for looking!
Ryan S. Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Yes, amazing. Your body work is fantastic, thank you for chronicling and posting. Are you using any sort of reference material that you are basing the body on or did you just freehand and eyeball it to what you wanted it to look like? It's great either way. That frame is great too, nice work!
