You should be able to modify the kit taillights, it looks like just remove the vertical bars between the 3 sections and add one that goes horizontally down the middle.

All about time would you like me to send you via PDF file the yenko instruction manual

To aid in your project it's no problem 

[Jordan White]

Sure! Could be useful for some of the smaller details.

Thanks, it works great!

Excellent are you able to do photo etching parts ?? If so could you send pics of parts you've produced 

Curious to see

Looking forward to seeing some more progress on this thing, I've wanted to do something like this for a while now, but money, time, and skill have got in the way.

Quick update. Got some of the engine painted and assembled.

Here are the headers, they are the small block headers modified into big block headers. I still need to putty and sand them, as well as add the mounting flanges.

Here are the modified valve covers, to correct the incorrect bolt pattern. I have a little more sanding to do to get them ready for chrome.

Finally, here's the engine so far. Corvette 427 big block, painted Chevy Engine Orange. I modified the water pump to more closely resemble the long nose 1969 style rather than the short nose 1967 style. I also had to extend the crankshaft pulley to match the water pump.

I'll give you mad props jealous as I haven't been able to locate a 427 but have

A backup plan intake manifold and tripower setup on 

The 302 probably the cheapest way to do it 

[Jordan White]

If you would like, I have the tripower intake and carbs, along with the aftermarket big block valve covers that I would be willing to give you.

[Iroc crazy]

Anything I can do for you as a favor name it I'll send you my address in a pm 

[Iroc crazy]

Are you still looking for the Monte Carlo Aero back decals if so pm me the info and I'll see what I can do

Deal ?

I filled in the frame a bit and smoothed it out. Here's how the engine fits in the chassis. Luckily Monogram made it so the small block and big blocks fit in the same chassis.

Envious do you know anything about 3-d printing 

[Jordan White]

I have made things to be 3d printed, the wheels for this project are one thing I've had done. I don't have a printer myself though and use Shapeways for my printing.

[Iroc crazy]

How do you apply your ideas for the project to them you know

What I'm after making it happen different story

[Jordan White]

You have to use a 3D modeling program to design the solid part which is then uploaded to the printer/printing service.

[Iroc crazy]

I have xp what program would you recommend that's easy

A chimp could use 

[Jordan White]

Do a Google search for Sketchup Make 2014. It's a free program that you can make 3d models with, and there are numerous tutorials on how to use it. You would have to search how to convert their file to an STL file to upload to the printer.

[Iroc crazy]

I'll keep it in mind I'm not computer tech savvy however

I have a sister who is well that is out of her knowledge
