Steven Zimmerman Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 It's funny how having the glass mocked up makes such a visual differance. That and the door line change work (IMHO)...Still interested in seeing it with the side window shape changed, bit it works well 'as is'....'Z' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbarton Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Here is the car with the door line change, I will probably just make some new side glass (its easier to do.) Original Door line moved back Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customsrus Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ok did a little work today. I scribed some new door line and moved the door handle area back. I added a strip of plastic into the old door lines so it would not ghost on me after paint,then I put some putty on it, just waiting for it to dry.

customsrus Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Got it sanded down and put a little primer on this. got a little more work to do to the door lines and they will be finished. So about the only thing I have not modified on this build are the headlights. Maybe that will be next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customsrus Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 now that I have completed the body mods, i will turn my attention to the engine, interior and chassis. I started work on the engine. I am trying to use the drivetrain out of the camaro It is a simple engine with little to no details, even the exhaust looks small compred to the engine block, oh well enough on the ranting. I first taped the engine to see what it would look like under the hood.I stripped all the chrome off the exhaust, covers and intake manifold. I then sectioned the covers and filed and cut what I hope looks like coil covers. I may end up finding another engine if I can not make this look better.

DrKerry Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 LOOKING SWEET, YOU GOT SKILLS!!!!!!!!I do like the look of the longer door. It really changes the overall look of the car. If GM did this one, I'd be standing in line!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ll Brandon ll Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) I have some spare LS7 valve covers and engine parts if you want them. I dont have the main engine, block and heads, but I have the intake, valve covers, etc. I would be happy to donate them to your project.
