At the pace I' m moving that is a ways off, but I' all get there. Gotta get these fins and lower body roll done first. I'm gonna take some putty to work tonight to work on them during lunch.

HAD TO bookmark this one! AWESOME project and start,can't waita see more!

Still looking great. Nice to see someone taking the time and care to really get it right. Lots of subtle mods on this car, and to work, they pretty much HAVE to be right.

Looking good Tom. Great subject and great building so far!

Subscribed! Zocchi is one of my favorite commisioners. He has a great knack for transforming odd ball iron into unique sleds that just look and sit sooo right. Good luck with the progress!

If you need tail-lights try getting a clear red toothbrush and make your light bezels from there.  With the skills I've seen above you won't have

a hard time making them..I'am diggin' whats going on. Please keep updated/current results......

Lookin' great, Tom. Keep it up.

I agree with you, Albie. I really like his ideas and I've always wanted to build this car. I'm glad I have the chance to now.

I am working on lowering the front suspension and getting the rear suspension dialed in. I'm also going to do a bit more putty work on the body. Right now it's time for a quick nap in the recliner while the suspension dries. Check back later for photos.
