i started this about 3 years ago and recently decided to try and finish it. the body is either a ford or chevy, dont know cause i jus found the body lying around, the front bumper came off a chevy race truck. i chopped the top. all the body lines, door handles, lights and anything else has been shaved. the front bumper is completly smooth. the interior comes from a 59 impala and will have bucket seats. the dash comes of a Ram pickup. in the back will be a system of some sort, not sure on the exact setup, tweeters in the door panels and whatever else i thin of along the way. i need some suggestions on what engine to drop in cause the one thats in there is pretty weak looking.

Sure is different. I like the idea, but make sure you make door line's on the body:).

for the head lights and grill im not really sure yet. in the rear im thinking of putting impala tails along the bumper undecided though.
the interior wasnt extended. the plastic is there because the chasis was originaly a race truck so it had an odd back shape that wouldnt accomadate speakers and stuff in the back so i cut it out.
still need some suggestions on an engine though. a V8 of some sort possibly.
