It'll definitely stay truer to the Pro Touring look you're going for.

And if you need more wheel well room for a severe drop, bust out the razor saw and the sheet styrene to section the wheelwells. Minitubs man. Minitubs.

I AGREE, I AGREE, I AGREE!!!!!! hell yea go with that plan for sure man! defanitly the way to go for the look!

that car looks awsome..... i would cut the wheel wells to giv the car a more muscular stance (higher rear wheels, lower front)... but it looks good either way

Hit up that resin engine. That's the only way to go. Thank LK for finding your prefect mill, curse him for finding you a pretty pricey transkit.

It's a beautuful project!!

WOW!!! Amazing work with the paint. I'm working on this same kit right now, but mine is nothing special and it's just stock, or at least I think it's going to be. Keep us posted. I'm very interested in this build up.

[jdmhotrod]

small update.

got the engine trimed to fit: this is how it looks.

Nice color separation. Is the engine glued or is it just sitting together? Looks very sweet on this end. Keep it up.

where did you get that motor? and about how much did it cost. would look great in my corvette project. im thinking of starting a progress thread but the only way i have to get pics is my camera phone. im about to take some test shots to see how its gonna work

[jdmhotrod]

i got the motor at modelexpress.net, it cost $20usd, but is worth every penny, lots of photoetched stuff and some tape like matirial for belts. it also comes with a throtle body and a nice cone airfilter but i broke mine so i will have to scratch build them. the engine seems to fit nice in the chevelle but if its for a corvette i whould go with the ally rat 350 tpi insted of the bigblock 502 as it is very large and will not fit in a vette (i tried) in fact i tried to put it in a 1:25 scale chevelle and it whould not fit at all heads touched the wheel wells, but in the 1:24 chevelle it looks kinda small,lol.

[white97ex]

thanks guys,

nice comments keep me going, should have a good bit of progress today on the chassis and motor, cant do the interior till tommarow as i need to but some flat colors to airbrush on, as i hate brush strokes on my seats. not sure on interior colors as of yet ither, any help is accepted. also debating on what colors i want the engine in, i was almost ready to airbrush it in the same blue as the car last night but dident quite know.
