I agree -how do you see a Surf Crate in an old Chevelle body ?
Truly outstanding work and imagination, but you guys drive me crazy !! ;D

While I haven't made any major progress, I have refined a lot of the deatils that go into a scratch build of this nature...
Radiator location, master cylinder, frame horns, steering box and linkage, headlights and the grill fill...

Rewacked the seats, added an Orange Hauler steering wheel, started making door panels...

That little hoop thing holds the board...

I'll let the rest of the pictures do the rest of the talking...

Till next time, think Summer!

Time to jam some putty in the cracks and get this thing ready for primer!
After all the hack and glue it took to take a '67 Chevelle to where I'm at, it took surprisingly little putty to true things up...

I went ahead and punched some holes for the taillights while I was at it. I've still got a few low spots to fill again and maybe again after that, but then I should be ready to throw some color at it.
Stay tuned for Prime Time!

The body will need several more prime 'n sand sessions before it's slick enough for paint. That and I'll be needing to pick a color too...

I absolutely love this thing. My favorite build since I've been back in the hobby.

One question, what happened to the first set off pipes? I thought you did a great job of reproducing the originals.
