Metalmad Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) Started on the body work & was thinking of converting the carbs to fuel injected carbs. Not sure on what color yet so if you have any suggestions on color feel free to add your two cents on the color. Edited July 21, 2013 by Metalmad
Custom Mike Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Are those the kit carbs Seth? If so, I really need to snag one of these babies to steal the carbs from! As for colors, I always liked the Mopar High-Impact colors, a nice Sublime Green or Plum Crazy would make this baby look sweet!
moparfarmer Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 What ever color you do it don't do the interior black...White with black dash/floors will stand out more...
Metalmad Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Mike the carbs are pewter and I purchased them at the NNL West this past Feb.
itsclayyoo Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 is this the cornet super bee lot? I remember building that lot when I was like 13 lol. (I'm 26 now) I'm thinking about buying that kit. I love it!
Metalmad Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 This is the Pro Street version that was just reissued a couple of months ago.
itsclayyoo Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 yeah the green one? that's the same one I put together when I was young
Metalmad Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) Well have finished most of the body work & had to rework the hood so that the fitment of the hood to body looked correct & body is in primer. Also finished up making a roll bar & painted the center of the wheels. Edited August 5, 2013 by Metalmad
Metalmad Posted July 29, 2013 Author Posted July 29, 2013 (edited) I have two colors in mind but have not decided yet on which one I will choose. I know the interior will be a matt white with a black dash & carpeting which will go with either one of the colors I choose.Will also be scratch building a hood scoop which I'm going to try to make functional.

Metalmad Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 Well laid some paint on the engine block & the valve covers & oil pan tonight and also pre drilled the valve covers for the spark plugs.
Metalmad Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Slow progress on this build but I did manage to get started on the scratch built intake system.
Metalmad Posted August 8, 2013 Author Posted August 8, 2013 Got a little work done scratch building a custom intake & a mock up with the wheels.
Jeremy Jon Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Love that stance, and that always have liked that body style! Looking good! What/where are those wheels+tires from??
jsc Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I have 2 of these kits. I just noticed the older one has an optional rear seat that matches the front buckets. The newer kit just has a bench seat molded in.
Metalmad Posted September 2, 2013 Author Posted September 2, 2013 (edited) Been awhile since I updated this build so I have scratch built a intake manifold & a roll bar but the pictures will not upload for some reason. Hopefully I can figure this out because this happen before after the web site was hacked then when it was back on line it would not upload my files said they where to big but they are not.

Mopar - D Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Seth have you decided on a color yet. I like the 70's Super Bees in lemon twist. I was able to look some picture earlier today from photo bucket.
Metalmad Posted September 3, 2013 Author Posted September 3, 2013 Not sure on color yet but I do have two colors in mind.
Metalmad Posted September 5, 2013 Author Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) Nice ! Edited September 5, 2013 by Metalmad
