This is my first ever Pro Touring build, so, it will be a kustom, note to self: next time use the Baldwin '70 chevelle L88 hood scoop, not the Corvette, Vette slopes front to back, Chevy slopes side to side, DOH!

Whew, ok Nascar front chassis, now added, gives me just a Lil lower ride hight, and I can use the roll cage and supporst, along with the front suspension, all from the Nascar, by the time this is done, you wont be able to tell where the stock '66 ends, and the Nascar begins:

I'll have to see how this NASCAR front clip is going to work to lower the front suspension. So take lots of clear understandable photos and I will try to find a NASCAR kit to use on a few of my kits, like my 65 Impala.

looking good is that a corvette hood inserted in there?

Yes sir, an L88 scoop, tho there would if been less work had I used a Baldwin '70 chevelle scoop, as it slopes side to side, as where the vette slopes front to back, but I couldn't wait...

OK, this might confuse some of you, I changed the thread to Twisted Intentions Pro Touring Series, for a reason, there will be 4 cars to this, yea the cars are not common to being done into Pro Touring, an well, I'm just getting itchy fingers dieing to get started on the other 3 as well, BUT! yes they all will get finished, I just thought I would put them all into one thread, and see how it goes, as they all are Pro Touring, or, well, will be, so with out further ado, here are the next 3 on the block:

1965 Pontiac Bonneville:

1966 Buick Wildcat:
