thanks Jeffrey 
, seems to be taking forever to get anything done, but have made a little progress. Couldn't find a later model ford race engine so I built a bbc for it
then remembered I had 2 Glidden thunderbird pro stock kits
got to wire and plumb it up for nitrous now. Had to modify the chassis a little to fit the wheelbase (the middle one)
and a quick mock up

Thanks guys, Finally got the chassis painted, went orange as I didn't like it white so much. Don't you love how mockups everything seems to fit ok but as soon as you go to glue it together nothing fits anymore

Love the car Brett. I've always liked that flat finned style. I know what you mean about after mockup things not fitting the same. Expecially after painting.
