jjsipes Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Awesome. Always liked to Comet that Ronnie drove be it the white or the Red white and blue versions. I did the same thing with mine using the Thunderbolt chassis and engine. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codi Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Nice choice for a build and well executed Tony. I loved that period of drag racing. Congrats. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bolt427 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Just curious.......Did you use the Comet or T-Bolt interior tub? I've stalled my build of Dyno Don's Comet because the T-Bolt's tub is too tall and forces the floor pan down and the Comet's tub's (if I remember correctly) tranny tunnel didn't match up well.

bogger44 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) Thanks again for the comments guys. Just curious.......Did you use the Comet or T-Bolt interior tub? I've stalled my build of Dyno Don's Comet because the T-Bolt's tub is too tall and forces the floor pan down and the Comet's tub's (if I remember correctly) tranny tunnel didn't match up well. I used the Comet tub. The transmission doesn't fit the Comet's trans tunnel well and will push the chassis down, so I trimmed off some of the transmission top until it fit properly. It took a fair bit, but is unnoticeable after final assembly. Also, since the Comet tub is shorter than the T-bolt's, it will leave an open gap between the firewall and interior tub. I had thought about filling it in with some Evergreen, but I decided to leave it as is. With everything painted black, it really isn't that noticeable anyways.

Burnout Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Wow, I'm not sure how I missed this one until now but that is really nice. I appreciate all the work it takes to build a replica when you've got to kitbash to get there. You did a really nice job. Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
