brett Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 A STARLINER!!! IN THE DRAG SECTION ?????? yep its that time again, when the dremel comes out to play, I think y'all should have a pretty good idea where this is heading. the wheelbase is pro mod class legal from stock, I just had to narrow it down through the center a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 This is very cool! Big and good looking Early 60's Car turns out into Pro Sportsman? Pro Mod? Drag Racer. What will be the correct category for this? Great job, looks like the chassis needs some extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thanks guys, havent done much, lost a great local modeller and friend the other night so have been a bit distracted. Aiming for a top sportsman class build and paint will be two tone, hoping to get back into it at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Thanks guys, progress has been very slow as my mum had a heart attack a last weekend and is living with us now. Got started by lengthening the floor pan from cutting up another top sportsman kit floor though the remaining pieces are the perfect length for the next doorslammer project. Started scratching up my own cage/ chassis as the kit ones are too short to be used in the longer starliner cabin . not real happy with how the cage has turned out so far so may make a brass one anyway. once its been tidied up and primed after the next few bars are added I'll decide then. this will be a nitrous car so will have the big scoop rather than my preferred supercharger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
