Ok gang, this is my new project, 55 chevy street machine from Monogram, the worse kit i ever put my hands on, looks like everything fits very well but needs a lot of cleanup, have molded in exhaust, need to replace thje firewall, etc... So far i swap the engine for a 3d printed 427BBC with a tunnel ram, wheels and tires are from 67 Chevelle pro street kit, enjoy... FIIRST IDEA
   3D PRINTED ENGINE
  NEED TO REMOVE INNER WHEELS WALLS TO MAKE THE EXHAUST
    ACTUAL STANS, NEED TO OPEN THE REAR WHEELS OPENINGS
   NEEDS TO REMOVE REAR TRIM FOR FUTURE PLANS
     REMOCE THE GAS TANK BECAUSE THIS GASSER DO NOT NEED IT, ALSO NEED TO WORK ON THE SUSPENSIONS

Did some work on this bad boy, i haven't work much on it during last couple weeks, but find some time yeserday, added the transmission tunnel piece, stripe some chrome parts to get them ready for paint, and work on the engine area very much, install the engine brackets and the engine seat in place now, did a lot of calculation to get some free space between the engine and the new firewall, enough space for the oil pan and center the stacks breathers with the hood, i'm super happy how this turned out and looking forward to do some work soon again... Sorry for been out or the radar this long guys, but been extremely busy in the last couple weeks, tell you guys later about this personal goal...   Engine bay     |

Oh HELL yeah!! I totally get all the work that you're doing to the chassis and engine mount up mods. It really takes alot of planning and careful execution to make all of this happen and it can be a little overwhelming at times. Stay with it because you're doing a great job at putting all of this together.
Looking forward to hearing more of the personal goal that you mentioned.

Man that is a lot of modifications !! Your doing a great job and Im looking forward to watching you work with that motor. Side note , in your pictures I noticed you use a fiber disc cutting wheel. The sell three different sizes of metal saw blades ( one is about a quarter, one a nickle and one a dime ) they work great and they give you a finer thinner cut line. Just dont touch the spinning wheel of death or touch your thigh with it.....dont ask how I know !
Great job Marcos
