Well I started looking at the hood on this build and it looks bad ( look at the first picture). Tried to fix but just looked worse to me. So I found another camaro hood and modified it to fit the chevelle body. I did use the front corners off the old hood, also had to add material to the sides for a better fit.

By the way Mustangmodeler, that is a friend of mines car you have in your avatar! He call's it T-Mod. I'm sure you've done some reading on it, if not i can send you a link to his build thread on our 1:1 website (in case you wanna build a model of it!)

That's perfect mt dad had a 72 chevelle 4 dr when he was a young and nutty . Now he's older he's still nutty and wishes he still had his. He is hoping that the new one will have a nice classic look to it. You have done a fine job so far and keep the org lines.

When you put the lite units in the rear bumper did you put them in with the arc facing the front...

I put the camaro units in backwards so they would flow with the original arch of the rear bumper. I hope that the lenses will fit, if not I will make some new ones.

Well finally got to do alittle work today. I got to work on the exhaust. Used the camaro exhaust pipes and added round tubing to the ends. Made some exhaust cutouts in the rear valance. Dont know if I like the round exhaust may change them to square tubing for a more modern look.

As I said before it's getting better:) every time I'm on my phone I've got to check if you've done some update on this creation. It keeps me looking for ideas to build my own. For now, let see how this proyect is done.

:) I like what you are doing keeping the old school look with a few new techniques, the low streched top, the molded in bumpers and of course the engine compartment. Can't wait to see more!

Well I did a little work, not much but a little. I redid the exhaust tips and made them square. I hope you guys like them. They may have to grow on me. I put a picture of the round exhaust to to compare. I also added a lip to the lower valance. Thanks for looking.
