Great start, looks like this thing should look wicked. What chassis are you using?

[FASTBACK340]

Nice start Stan! I love those mid-60's Impalas. What color? What kit is the chassis from?

It's go attitude written all over it !

Hi All thanks for your comments,Its a revell pro stock chassis from the Reher-Morrison Kit.I had to add around 10mm to the length to get the wheel base correct.I also changed the gearbox tunnel as it had a square ish tunnel,

All comments are welcome.
