a couple sets of Pegasus wheels and tires donated to this build today. Cut the hoops off a set for the front, and used a set of sleeves in the rear. Added some trimmed up Revell Integra wheels and this was the result. I need to strip some chrome, but I'm debating if I should just do the centers, or go with a gloss/satin black for the whole wheel.

This project looks pretty cool. Will you aging the HotRod like your example on page #1 or would it be a shiny thing (related to the fine new wheels)?

Looking forward to the progress.

Making progress.. Hopefully I can get it close enough that once everything is on the motor it is convincing.

Andy, how did you get the engine sides so smooth ??

shaved them with a file then skinned it with some thing styrene.

I'm at that point where I have to decide if this is working... What do you guys think? Obviously everything is just roughed out. Still need a valve cover and oil pan.

I am going to have to cut the firewall and push the engine back, I had a feeling I was going to need to, the 1:1 inspiration is sunk pretty good up under the cowl.

So dimensions were bothering me a bit, everything seemed a little tall, I dig and was able to find some dimensions online for the vortec 4200. Turns out I was close, just needed to move the block lower on the bell housing.

Everything seems to fit better now.
