Hi all....been taking a break from this one, sort of. Actually, I've been contemplating for a month or two on a big modification. I decided to go ahead with the plan.

For a while now, I've felt the body was too wide. So I broke down and made the mod this week with a nice wedge cut right down the center. 3/16" was removed from the width over top of frt fenderwells and around .14 removed from width over rear fenderwells. I've got a before shot with front width traced on an index card and an after shot over that to see the difference. Looks quite a bit more bullet-like and I'm satisfied with finally moving on towards the finish.....needs a bit of filler here and there, otherwise, the two halves went back together very well. This has been a fun journey so far and will try to finish b4 much longer. Thanks for looking in.

Joe....I personally think they would be fine and they look cool. I have seen dragsters with all kinds of different colored headers. 

Just imagine they have an experimental combo coating of teflon impregnated gold and titanium to keep engine compartment heat down, resist corrosion and improve exhaust flow?? Not to mention they would probably run 30K per set.

If all else fails, could you break out the brush? You could possibly tone them down with flat aluminum almost dry on a paintbrush, then follow with other colors and blend? Just thinking out loud....

Spent the last hour and a half going thru all this....stunning work everyone!!

Included a couple of my current drag racing projects....pro mod scratchbuilt chassis' in brass and styrene. The bodies are not 100% scratched, but pretty close. (68 Vette Roadster and 2011 Challenger Pro Mod's)

Tyrone....I followed your journey making this and WOW. This is killer, absolutely beautiful work bro. Love it!

Looking great on your details Brett. Everything looks to be coming together quite well!
