i wanted 1 of these bodies for a long time now and finally, i have 1. now dont hold your breath because i plan on taking my time with this, its going to need a lot of scratch building and a hell of alot of planning if im going to pull it off. im using parts i brought from a junk lot on ebay, mainly the chassis and rear end assembly. il need to get my hands on an engine and other odds and ends but heres what i have in mind...

the chassis im using has a similar wheel-base so hopefully that makes it a bit easier for me lol...

Excellent project Todd - looks like you've made a great start. Don't believe I've seen one of these before, where'd you get the body from?

The Body (Comes with bonnet and front/rear ends) is a repop of the original AMT Falcon and there on Evilbay.

If you want to make it easier on your self try and find the Matt and Debbie Hay Pro street kit. The chassis drops straight into one of them. The wheel tubs where made for the body.

And Paul I also have a mate doing one of theses Pro street. 572 Big block 15X15 Micky Ts and a full tube chassis. It will be painted Candy Blue with Gold Leaf. Hoping to have it finished for the picnic this year.
