Oh Tyrone!!! that engine looks great in this new chassis. Really sorry to hear about your mustang, glad you were able to save the engine and use for this project. I sure looks at home in between those rails. I love the look with the body on and the blower sticking out. This is one sweet build

The engine looks killer in the chevy Tyrone, right at home, the car looks like a beast already

[tyrone]

Thanks alot fellas. well I got it all cut a part and did some sanding on the firewall...

[Dragracer]

Lookin' good Tyrone! as I said before, the engine looks killer in there!

[stump]

THIS.....Is ONE MEAN LOOKIN" Mutha.........



Tyrone, my condolences to the 'Stang, but I gotta say....that motor was MADE for this ride.
Sweet work man.

Looks so good with the engine in place. What are you using for the rear tyres, resin?

[tyrone]

Thanks Greg and Kane I appreciate it...

Kane the rear slicks come with the pro magnums from pegasus...

I got the bars added to the front of the car to mount the struts I'll do the lower ones and add the mounts next.. I've also been adding thin strips of styrene to the doors to fill in any gaps from cutting out the doors, thanks for looking in fellas...

truely awesome Tyrone!!

[pharr7226]

I seem to say this a lot about you, but I think this your best work. At least it's my new favorite build of yours. The chassis is awesome and the stance is perfect. Keep it up.

Rick... thank you bro... I'm just trying to keep up with all these talented builders on this awesome forum..

Man Tyrone this car is OUTTASIGHT looks good with the stang motor in it too, (sad day for the stang though) atleast you can use the parts for a good cause. Keep up the good work Bruh!

Shimming your door lines with strip is really going to make that body stand out when she's all painted up, Tyrone. That is just one killer build you've got going there! Your firewall turned out really nice and the motor is only icing on the cake at this point. Too bad about the Mustang (since I'm a Ford guy at heart), but it looks right at home in there...

[Red rocket 10]

Tyrone this build is on point . What type and brand of glue do you use?

Keep up the good work................

The '57 is looking great Tyrone, the chassis just looks great, the 'stang died, but it's in a better place now, & the "heart" transplant is working out very well!

[MRJ]

Looks outstanding Tyrone!

Tyrone - I pulled out the dictionary but can't find adjectives that haven't already been used, so I'll just say SWEEEEEET.
That engine is killer. I searched for the poor departed Mustang thread and can't find it. I'd love to look over that one, too.

[tyrone]

thanks fellas for all the comments..

Rom.. thanks man I really appreciate it..

Scott thanks..... I need to place and order with you check your pm...

Leonard... thanks I know this is going to sound crazy.. but I've found that the regular old testors glue works for me... I've got the Tenax 7 and the pro weld I think it is... I started this build out using the pro weld, and tenax 7 and it dropped a few times. and everything busted apart... I know some swear by it.. but I did not have good results, I find with the testor's glue when it cures that I dont have any problems with it breaking apart... call me old fashioned... but I like the testors glue better...

Richard... thanks alot bro..

Mike... thanks...looking fowrard to following the Willy's w.i.p

Thanks Ted.. I didn't do a w.i.p thread on here.. but the complete build is in my photobucket...

[GoatGuy]

Tyrone- here's my 2 cents- it looks awesome.

[tyrone]

Thanks fellas... well I've got one door hinged and mounted.. the inner door skin is done for now also... more updates later...
