well so far i have the floor pan and transmission hump rebuilt using styrene sheets.... it looks too "choppy", for lack of a better term, and i've got to smooth it out with some putty and a bunch of filing/sanding.
the engine seems to sit in the engine bay just barely. the firewall is going to have to be drastically cut to accomodate the absolutley huge bell housing on the trans. i also swapped out the original radiator from the front panel of the engine bay, with the larger vette radiator and fan shroud. all seems to be fitting quite nicely and i think i will be able to close the hood. i might add a scoop just for kicks.
the rear end is going to be interesting since i have to figure out how to work the vette parts into the strange mono-leaf spring rear end of the 510...
this scratch building stuff is damn fun, but it takes me a long time to get the pieces just right...
