misterNNL Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 You do realize that since you sectioned a V8 engine for this project you now officially qualify for "section eight". That used to be the term used for soldiers who were eligible for a discharge from service for psychological reasons. Before anyone goes all negative on me for mentioning this,I hold all military service personnel In the highest possible regard and this is only a nod to the builder for throwing yet another crazy log on the fire. One more step toward the twilight zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now it's a bird of a different color!!! It's green!! Body section is mostly done, engine is almost done, just bent the tubes for the turbo's today! Thank you to Rick Chupa for the supplied turbos!! They look awesome on top of this power house... So the question is!! Do you want to see the progress thus far? Or should I tease you all and make you wait for the finished build?? HMMMMmmmm??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Ok! Here it is so far!! Didn’t have time to work on it tonight. Taking it to work to cut windows tomorrow. Side shot back end with exhaust, body release pins and push bar Paying homage to my club Kustom Kemp’s in Miniature! Being built to look like a one piece funny car styled body, hinged in front with release pins/handles in back. engine shots will be later!!
