This is the Amt kit (or Amt body, rather. Most of this build is from scratch.)

Mockup with Mickey Thompsons. The rims will be replaced with staggered black steelies.

I`m using the chassis from the Trumpeter 1966 Nova because it doesn`t have all of the molded in stuff, and the wheelbase lines up.

Wired Aluminum Hemi With Holley dominator. Let`s just say it makes 900 HP :sunglasse

Paint is Model Master Mopar Sublime Green, a factory Mopar color.

Start of tubs.

End result. It looks messy, but it still needs lots of sanding when it dries, and paint of course.

Tubs in Place.

Two Tire options. First are Mickey Thompsons. Don`t worry, the back rims will get a deep dish. Which do you think.

2. Pro Mod Slicks

This is the lip I will probably use, with the black rims above in place of the ugly chrome rims.

Very cool. I prefer the slicks, I think the shape looks a little better.

I like it! Personally I'd keep the wheels entirely black. It makes it looks really tough!

Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah I will probably keep the rims all black, I think it will go well with the matt black hood, which I need to repaint, because I botched it. Updates soon!

Ok, I got some putty on the floor pan now, just need to wait for it to dry so I can sand it, then the chassis is ready for paint. The hemi has been repainted, and the transmission is glued on.

Chassis. Not much was done here, just filled some holes and finished building the tubs

Hemi

The hood, it needs another coat of paint. Body has two coats of clear.

Yeah, I think I will stick with the slicks. They just look so much better under the wheel wells then the M/Ts.
