Title: 69 Chevelle WIP Update 9-17-17
Post by: slim on July 29, 2017, 04:36:55 PM

Started a new one, let's see how far I get with this! haha! AMT kit, I'm building the chassis off the stock chassis with a NASCAR GM front clip. Small block chevy, 9" ford rear, and attempting long truck arms.

Here's a side by side comparison and some of the fab work, so far.
