gasser59 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Ok, so what's a 10.5 car? I should know this but don't so would someone enlighten me please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviltwincustoms Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Ok, so what's a 10.5 car? I should know this but don't so would someone enlighten me please? All I know is the class has to do with the size of the Rear Slicks (10" slicks or 10.5") not sure.. and the Front clip from the firewall forward must be the original chassis of that car being used. I think the rest of the car can be a tube chassis. It isn't the same class as an Outlaw 10.5, but I do have the requirements for ADRL Extreme 10.5.

brett Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Chassis looks good man ! Are you keeping it as a t top or filling them in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I haven't seen much '79 Camaros being built Drag Cars. Great to see one. And that frame construction looks very good, really great scratchbuilding. Can't wait to see more, very interesting subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw105 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 (edited) Got a small update, the front suspension is getting there but I still have a pretty good amount of work to do. Upper a-arms and engine plate are done. I also finished the front of the chassis and shortend the frame... Thanks Brett and Niko. Brett I haven't decided if I will keep the t-tops or not, they kinda look cool in there. Edited December 1, 2011 by outlaw105 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw105 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 Thanks Thumper and Tyrone... The a-arm's were a pain , since i didn't have anything else I actually had to use stainless steel nails and cut both ends off, then bent them to shape.

pharr7226 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks Thumper and Tyrone... The a-arm's were a pain , since i didn't have anything else I actually had to use stainless steel nails and cut both ends off, then bent them to shape. Nails... that had to be a pain. The look great. Did you use a jig to make them symmetrical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw105 Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks, I didn't use a jig, but I paired them both and bent them together.... Like I said they were a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
