PRO STREET SUPER BEE In the showroom

Gday guys, I am new and this is my first post, I have been a member of the Scale Auto forum but thought I would like to get involved in a forum here in Aust. Anyway my work in progress is the AMT 70 Super Bee pro streeter. Basically bodywise I have hinged and opened up the boot and scratchbuilt the reinforcement out of some styrene. And It's primered ready for paint. The motor is a Ross Gibson 16 plug hemi which is a great kit in itself. The braid and fittings are from detailmaster as are the plug wires. I removed the lenco box and installed the kit supplied box with scratchbuilt linkages as it's more streetable. I had to also modify the K frame to suit the deep pan. The fuel cell is a Parts Box item with detailmaster fittings and scratchbuilt straps. Thanks for looking

Adam

Awesome Work! Keep the progress coming.

Awesome work so far - your detailing looks sensational. Any ideas on colour?

Bryce you may want to kill me, being a mopar nut. Was thinking top banana but am going GM with the paint, and are painting it Chrome yellow. I love the colour.

That's cool mate - I've got a 1:1 '74 Charger painted GMH Super Mint green, so anything goes in my town...

Awesome stuff.. cant wait to see this finished.. you got some good skills Adam

Finally the interior is finished, Seatbelts were made from masking tape and painted, the buckles are from Detailmaster, I tried to keep the dash looking as original as possible, hence the standard steering wheel. The monster tach is from the Parts Box painted up and epoxy used to over the gauge face, epoxy was also used over the dash gauger that were painted silver for something a bit more modern. The indicator stalk was made from wire with a dob of epoxy on the end.

Looking Good!

I think that looks good - hard to tell because your photos are TOO SMALL! Can we get some bigger pics? Please...?

From what we can see it looks good. Have you used decals for the gauge faces & radio or are they painted?

Decals would of been heaps easier but they were all dry brushed, what a bastard!

Sorry guys about the size but are involved with the scale auto forum where I post most my builds, thats why they are as is, will post bigger soon

Gday guys, the inner guards had a lot of molded on wiring and a recess for the battery, but wanted to go for a smooth look so all wiring was sanded and the recess puttied up and primed, the motor just sitting in there to make sure that it clears all, so now time for paint!!!!!
Adam

Thats a beautiful motor there Adam, a real brute.

Looking great Adam - can't wait to see some paint on there...

Damn.....this is shaping up to be a killer (BEE) build mate, I love it..

Gday guys, was going to make the extractors out of the usual solder but the look and fit of the pipes ended being ok, although not as good, lol!!! Just a couple progress pics.
Cheers

Hey Adam, this is looking awesome mate, it really inspires me to have a red hot go at plumbing my builds, truly awesome mate, looking forward to more updates, good job man

Adam, methinks you have waaaay too much spare time.

Awesome detail man, this one should be an entrant in the Muscle Car Wars AKA Gas #4.

Nice work Adam - that's one tough looking engine!

Gday guys, just an update of where I am at, just a few pics of my aluminium tailshaft just cut from some aluminium tube, with some styrene ends painted aluminium metalizer. don't know what I am going to do with the exhausts yet??
