dodge 330 pro street update 07/28/17

Get those cogs turning mate, we know this can be a beautiful build.
I like those wheels too .

They do, but that is what it would look like in real life, good choice.

looking great Steve. what kit did those wheels come from? I have always liked the oddball colors on these. I don't think I have ever seen a different color roof on these before. that would be very cool.

Joe, I loved dog dish caps before they were popular, make sure you post your up also.

I will be watching.

Interesting and tough looking engine set up mate.

Very interesting intake set up with the horns. I do like the molded in detail on that firewall which is out of the ordinary for me to say but this looks like everything is at least in the right place and the detail is raised in just the right proportion. Normally I can't stand molded in firewall details and usually sand it all off and add my own. Good looking "giddyup" so far.

Thanks Joe and Dennis for your comments. Have been working on this over the past couple of nights and now have modified the firewall for a cleaner appearance and will also be smoothing of the inner guards. Found the interior tub for the chevell in one of the parts box that was more detailed rear firewall and cut it out to replace the dodges one and then re installed the dodges rear parcel shelve. Going to use a set of buckets from the dodge superbee pro street kit and the roll cage started as the dodges original one that I modified with some extra bracing. Also primed the plenum chamber and removed the chrome from the horns and drilled them out. Still have yet to modify the manifold and will be scratching my own valve covers as I dont have any suitable aftermarkets ones for this build. Cheers and thanks for looking Steve

Thanks Dennis have been working the rear end the past couple of nights. Thought I would have the rear done an half an hour but because the chevelle kit that I am using was started by someone else the bracing and wheelie bars were either bent, twisted or broken so had to scratch up my own parts or straighten what was salvageable. All the white parts of the rear end are styrene and although not a big fan of wheelie bars on a street car decided to keep them for a different look. Also got a light coat of color on the inner guards and firewall just to see how the color would look and am happy with it and thinking of doing the roof in white and possibly a beige interior. Cheers and thanks for looking Steve

Hi Dennis thanks for the comment. The tyres I am using are from the amt pro street superbee kit which are the same size as the ones in the corvette/baretta kits but these one have a smaller inner so they fit quite a few different rims where as the firestones in the baretta kit the rims fit from the inside. In cutting the floor pan I align the floor pan with the tubs on top of the original to see where I can make a cut, I usually try to make a cut along a chassis line or a floor pan line so everything stays in alignment and normally leave a tag were the floor tunnel is so I dont have a straight line. Just my experience that its a much stronger bond staggered when glued then just a straight line. I then use a small amount of super glue to tack it together then fit the chassis to make sure everything is straight and aligns up where I want it. Its also helpful if you are able to mock up the diff so you can see if the rims line up central under the guards. After everything is good I use scrap styrene and super glue and brace it from the inside and if there is any gap on the floor pan I use super glue as my filler of choice. Here is a pic of the chassis with two coats of paint I got on today and the bracing on the inside. Hope this helps you out. Cheers Steve

Thanks Dale will be polishing it up tonight and hopefully start assembly of the front and rear next week. Now trying to work out to go bonnet scoop or just leave the everything out in the open. Here is a couple of pics with it out in the open. Cheers Steve

Very nice work on that chassis install Steve.Looks like it was made to be there. This thing is gonna look tough dude.

Thanks Dale , Joe and Dennis for your comments and helping in my decision. Think I was just second guessing myself and didnt want to look like that I was copying Dales build in that respect. Hope to have some rear coil overs built tonight to give it a bit more detail.

Hi just checking if flickr is working for me
