The control arms are just some 2mm rod bent in a U and stiffened. Then I took some appropriate size tube and glued it in for the rod ends. The coilovers are homemade. I have used the RB motion ones, and they are awesome, so that is a compliment indeed!

Interior tub construction: Dash: Gauge cluster: Thats all for now. More updates to come soon! Thanks for viewing, comments and criticism is welcomed and appreciated!

Ok, so update again. It seems like everytime I change something, even small stuff, I have to redesign all kinds of stuff. So, that said, the rear suspension wasnt right for the new chassis. Originally I tried to just swinging the shocks out a little but it killed the articulation. That and the mounts were too weak. So, I redesigned, and simplified, the mounts. Stronger and cleaner looking. Also got the interior scratched out. I plan to add door card detail and what not. I had to build an entire interior, dash and all. So, Ive got the dash scratched out, the gauge pod built (which Im very proud of). The best part was I think the decals for the original guages will be a perfect fit. I didnt bother to check before I started LOL. Anyway, ON TO THE PICS!! Front subframe completed and assembled: Rear suspension redesign:

Thanks bro! It took two tries and alot of trial and error, but Im actually happy with it this time. Forever the perfectionist and super self critical, LOL!.

The 19in from Pegasus is more like 18-17in in other scales. The 23in wheels are gonna be closer to 19-20in in most scales if that helps. I just got 2 sets of the 23in sleeves an an 18in wheel fits in them with a little trimming and overall they look like the same size as most manufacturers 19in wheels.

Wow, that looks awesome. How did you get the plastic to look like bent metal?

Great save!

This has some promise. I will be watching this one.

This thing is amazing. Not trying to push my build, but your work inspired my latest chassis, so you should check it out. As for the wood, as good as that looks a little detailing and you wouldnt need decals.

Nah, brother. I dont believe that! Thanks for the comments guys. Hope to have an interior update soon.

Beautiful build. Looks like you saved it big time. I really like the hood. Im building a pro touring one myself. Its a great kit. I will prolly end up getting another one, lol. I like the panel for the engine... Ive been thinking of doing something similiar since I actually cut out the wheel wells. Check my buuild out if you get a chance.

RB Motion's parts are phenomenal, although they arent cheap. Worth the price if you have the money to spend tho.

Ive not 100% decided yet, but that sounds like a pretty good idea. I might rough something out and see how it looks. I like the more hard angles, gives it a more aggressive look and that would fit the bill perfectly. Thanks for the comment and the suggestion. Thank you. Yes, it was a pretty big undertaking for me, it was my first time building one and when I decided to go that route, I honestly didnt think it through or I might not have went this deep into it. I didnt think about having to do the interior from scratch and things like that. When I had to start over, I was almost upset enough to trash the model but Im glad I didnt. I took what I learned from the first frame, some inspiration from some builders on here (Psychographic's front subframe), and I really think the result was worth starting over. That said, the work on the interior has started. The frame is pretty much done. Anyone have any suggestions for mounting options for the frame into the body? As always, comments and criticism is welcomed and appreciated.

I like it. Color isnt really my thing, but it honestly really makes those wheels pop. Nice job replicating it thus far.

Really came out good, brother! Great work on this one. On to the next!

Wow, dude. That is some impressive work on those fenders and I really like the direction. As for the intake, Ive anted to build one like that for a project of mine, so I will be watching that too for inspiration. Do you plan to fab the carbs as well?

Thanks dude. Im pretty happy with the result. The new frame seems to be so much straighter. I was working on the interior last night and everything is lining up alot better, Im not having to force things. Lesson learned. I guess sometimes having to start over may not always be a bad thing.

Ok, heres your pictures guys. Some with the rolling chassis and some with the body on the chassis. The motor I think will end up sitting a little lower, which will be a huge help. Just gotta figure out the hood scoop.

Alright, back from the dead. Ive done some work and got it somewhat back to good. I decided to redo the frame and Im much more satisfied with the results, tho getting there has been very frustrating. For every thing I redesigned, something wouldnt line up and that would have to be redesigned, which would then cause something else to not work. But, I got her there. And, imho, it came out alot better than before. I also wasnt happy with the interior tub I did, so I am gonna redo that too. Ive not gotten much done there, mostly in the design phase right now. Anyway, thats where Im at. New frame, new suspension, and new interior in the works. Ill get pics up tommorrow. I dont have any good lighting right now, so I wanted to wait.

You, sir, are a master plastic assassin and a mad plastic scientist all in one. Beautiful work on both kits.

I will definitely be watching this one.

That looks awesome bro. That color came out really well.

It was Krylon brilliant silver as the base with testors clear red as the top coat.

Dang dude, this thing is really cool. It started out soooo rough and is really turning into something awesome.
