John Clutch Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I cant build anything without at least some sort of drawing that give an idea what the finished piece would look like. I just took a camaro pic and did some adjustments on coreldraw. I should have an actual kit soon.

John Clutch Posted July 3, 2015 Author Posted July 3, 2015 Thanks Fabrizio! Shaun, Tim..... The plan is to build a single 88mm turbo (pro mod) small block with stock bore spacings on alcohol (non intercooler). Powerglide and fab9 rear. 25.3 spec cage. I chose this class because you need to retain the original firewall (somewhat) the floor pans from the firewall to the rear door jams and the stock chassis from the motor plate to the rear of the rear wheelwells. I always wanted to build a real car under these conditions, so Im building it exactly the way I would do it. (hopefully) So since the kit requires a good amount of the original kit to be used, Im hoping to be able to make the chassis with styrene. If this was any other chassis, it would be made from brass. Im a metal fabricator by trade and worked with brass my whole life, but I dont have alot of experience with plastics and wanted to use the medium as much as possible.
carcrazy19 Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 John, that's really cool...I'm looking forward to seeing this one when its done.
