TFchronos Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Got the front end of the Viper in and scribed new door lines making it a 4 door, it's rough but so am I lol. Body work is done (I think) so as soon as I get some paint I'll start spraying the many layers it will be getting. Just about to start putting the Viper rear end in as well. Initial test fitting of the engine looks good too so that's a plus, nice to have stuff falling in order for once. Forgot to note that I lost the rear panel so I scratched a new one.

bill_67 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Just posting a couple of update pictures, I have the engine, drive train, suspension, brakes and interior all fitted. I should have all of the above primed and painted this week. I Made a new rear floor to clear the transmission. I had to keep the truck lowered so the axle would lineup. Kept the GTO brakes and tires so I made white walls to fill the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFchronos Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Awesome work Pat. The "I love cats" and pink fuzzy seats are golden ideas. But if I may ask a question. I don't see them yet and I'm sure you have a plan for this but I'm just curious on how many mufflers you plan on using to keep that little monster quiet?

Lunajammer Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 WOW Vesa, you've been busy. Lots of work on that engine and chassis, they look very impressive. The subtle patina on the body is a nice touch.For most builds this year, I think the level of engineering outshines most years. Tough crowd.

TFchronos Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Got the Viper rear end adapted over, it's all ready to drop in. Also cut out the side windows, removed some of the trim and got some primer on. Next is body colors and weathering. Which is something I'm still very new to so this is where the real fun begins for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Excellent work on that body. Kind of a shame it's not getting cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLMDesign Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Matthew, (AAAAAAAGGGGHGGHGHGHGH)..I feel ur pain,.....At least it happened to build that i am going to make it look like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) The Cruiser got its interior painted. Using my own car as a general guide, I two-toned it using Krylon primer for the dark grey and the flat Model Master military color Dark Gull Gray for the light color. Still needs touch up and detailing. The exhaust had to be rerouted. It's molded with the pipes bending to the side. It worked better for me to have it exiting out the back. I hope it won't seem too suspicious that it pokes through a reasonable spot in the bumper. Holes drilled. With the top of the engine on, everything JUST fits. A hack job of hinging the rear lid. I'd explore hinging it from the sides the next time. Edited November 14, 2015 by Lunajammer Misspelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
