Time to move on to the interior and chassis now.

Well, over the last few weeks I've made the new cowl grille and installed the windshield and rear window.

I've also started on the engine a while ago and have decided on the dress-up parts and injection from the AMT '70 Impala kit. I'll have to wait until the engine is installed before adding the injector tubes as they'll need to be cut to fit under the hood.

I haven't been able to find any comments about the changes to the trunk lid redesign. I saw the layout lines on the lid way back when, but Steve, you didn't tell us about your plan. I see what you did in subsequent pictures and that idea was brilliant! With the new taillights, it's perfect and very clean and classy. Bravo👍

Thanks Gary. I'm pretty happy with how the back turned out as I did some mods in addition to the box custom parts like dropping the center of the deck lid and using the top 1/4 of the stock bumper. I'll also have to come up with some tail light lenses as I didn't get the kit custom ones. I think I can cut down the large custom lens in the AMT '36 Chevy to fit the bezels I have.
