What's up fellas, I got everything cut apart and added some bracing to to the front of the car, more to come...

How do you cut so good?

[thumper86]

VERY VERY cool build!

[eviltwincustoms]

Oh man Tyrone, you have cut the body open and have it sitting on your chassis.... Man you are fast! I need to take lessons from a Pro, you are much faster at this whole process then I ever could be!

[Dr. Cranky]

Sweet, that looks tremendous.

How do you cut so good?

Thanks Lane it's not that hard, just a lot of patience, I start out by making the first couple of traces around the the door, trunk or whatever I'm working on w/the blade side of a good hobby knife, once I've got a decent groove started I then flip the blade over and use the back side of the blade and take your time, so you dont slip, or make any mistakes,

Thanks, Robert, Bart, and Virgil...

Awesome work. Will be watching for more.

[Prostreet]

Looking good as usual Tyrone, You moving fast on this one.

[Mooneyzs]

Tyrone.... Your chassis and body are coming along great. Very clean work on cutting the body. Looking good man.

Hey Tyrone....looking like an all-white 1:1 already (w/chrome wheels of course).

Man, this is great, love your builds.

Hey Tyrone,
What struts are you using on this build? They don't look like the regular Revell pieces that come with the kit chassis you use for your builds. You're keeping Revell in business just with all the chassis you use! LOL

Also, I really like the way your "tin work" is coming on this build. Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the comments fellas, well I've got the trunk floor finished up, and the doors are hinged and hung, I also have started making a place out front for the fuel cell and fuel pump, thanks for looking and comments welcome...

Hey Scott the struts I use are the ones from the revell kit I just modify them by cutting the portion off with the spring and top mout on and make my own strut body from styrene rod and tubing, springs are made by wrapping wire around a piece of tubing..sorry the pic is not the best...

[Mister Twister]

Another winner on the way Tyrone....Keep at it!

[futurattraction]

Thanks Tyrone. I knew they weren't "stockers" but now that you describe them, it all makes sense... Great job on your progress, by the way! :-)

I know right... he does an awesome job, I keep coming back and looking at his amazing work.

Tyrone, so just to make sure the Wheelie bars are those stock from the 55 chevy or do you extensively modify them?
