Well I had to pull out of the MOTM so I'll enter one I've already finished. I did some minor updates to the body, like swapping out the molded-in door handles for those nice Fireball Modelworks units, and fabricated a new, modernized hood vent. I removed the stock radio and put in a fabricated touchscreen on top of a console I designed and printed. Under the hood I updated the master cylinder to a modern style and added a booster, which the kit unit didn't have, and plumbed it to the manifold. The engine is the kit engine but I printed separate coils above the plugs and wired them and used a fabricated cam position sensor in place of the distributor, which I wired to the Big Stuff electronics box. The intake is from the 70 Chevelle kit modified to look like a faux Corvette mechanical injector setup. Finally I added a modern style radiator overflow container to go with the cross flow radiator I designed and printed.
