This won’t be completed in a few months, so I’ll add some details like disk brake back plates, brake and fuel lines, and maybe handbrake cables. Due to the disc brakes, the tires must be readjusted to ensure the correct track width. In the picture, the disc back plates are ready to be painted with base color and the food dehydrator is waiting beside. After half an hour of drying in the dryer I painted the topcoat and it was allowed to dry for half an hour in the dryer. In two hours the parts were ready. The food dehydrator speeds up the construction a lot.  Disk brakes looks a bit too simple without back plates.  |

The saga continues...
Engine compartment is painted and assembled to the chassis. Engine must be in position before the radiator wall can be inserted. Kits headers are garbage but other better candidates don't fit. Flanges and collectors are missing and making them takes time. The left side is partially done. A few more details came to the tires.    |

looks great so far. the headers are something to be desired!! sure they are. they are a good starting point. a while back, i thought i saw an aftermarket person doing collectors. real nice collectors. not something that looks like a tube slapped onto the end of the headers, like the picture below. i will do some investigating.  |

The headers have been done with flanges and collectors. Not the best headers but acceptable and they fit to the chassis too. I have thought to borrow parts from Revell F&F Charger but it is too good kit to tear down. Painted power brake master cylinder is from Charger and that's why I have to make diy brake parts and only brake fluid reservoir is from GTX kit.  |

I'm continuing this project after a little break.
The brake and fuel lines have been installed, as well as the carburetor linkages. They still have to be connected in the engine compartment. I changed the rear springs to ones made of iron wire and improved the suspension in other ways. 
I wish i could finish this already this year.

Test fitting parts because the engine compartment is really cramped. I added the brake master cylinder and wiper motor. The MSD box and mufflers are also made. Air cleaners are aftermarket parts from ebay.  Can this thread be moved to Street Machine/Modified board? |

Some dusty pictures. I tested the interior and windows with the body before I attach the engine and clear coat the body. Maybe a decent model can still be made from this.   |

I'm liking this B-body! Cool dark blue color. Where did you find those four spoke wheels? First time I've seen any the size that a ProStreet car would need. Very cool!
