btw very cool project

Nice progress so far, i've never heard of the alternomad, it is kind of strange in my own opinion i think its a lot cooler if the modeler were to do the customizing and kitbashing from scratch rather than from a kit. So i like what you have done with it in a way uncustomizing it then re-customizing it :thumbsup:
Also nice work on the vette tails, i dont think i have ever seen anyone do that to a caprice it looks great tho.
Ill be watching this thread ;) keep up the good progress!

That's looking great so far, i really like the speaker box. Can't wait to see some color on it. I like A body's too. Here's a couple I did a while back. I smoothed out an Alternomad too.

This looks great! I like your version much better than the kit, Boss. That yellow rig is hot too! Great job on the interior and the engine detailing looks very clean! Can't wait to see more! I think the wife will be happy with this one!

Off topic, but is Cris Jr still around? I need to talk to him about something but I know he was going to be busy with something for a while...

I got them from a guy here in So Cal. I just e-mailed him to see if he's still making them. he's been busy with law school. He has a few different sets, some nice hot rod wheels and some nice spokes. If he's making wheels I'l post the info.
