Well I can not keep this to my self,it,s for next year enjoy. [img[http://i41.tinypic.com/2lnv8l3.jpg and painted.

just about there here are some more pics ,

the chassis dose not sit up into the body the or as far as i think it should the dash is coming in contact with bottom of the windshield and there is a gap in the rear behind the rear seat and the body .i have fixed these problems and moving on .the interior is to wide and to tall after being assembled on the chassis and installed in to the body , but I was able to fix it and save the build from being smashed! .

this kit is a pain in my A$$ the body dose not fit on the chassis very well and this is making me want to though this thing in to the wall!i,ll make the best of it but will not be building this kit agen .pics coming soon of finished build.

I HAVE 110 KIT,S AND COMPLETED 14 THIS YEAR BUT 90 % OF MY KITS ARE FOR PARTS , I,M BUILDING AROUND 1.5 A MONTH , THIS WILL SLOW DOWN NEXT YEAR DO TO THE FACT THAT I,M BACK TO WORK AND RECOVERED FROM A BYPASS AND BACK SURGERY , IT,S GOOD AND BAD

DENNIS , THE REAR TIRES ARE HITTING THE REAR FENDERS BUT THE CAR IS JUST SITTING ON PENNYS , I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE THEM RUBBING AFTER ASSEMBLY IS DONE , THANKS EVERY ONE FOR THE KIND WORDS ,AND INPUT ,IT HELPS.

I LIKE THIS , WILL BE WATCHING ,

RICHARD ,THIS IS TURNING OUT VERY NICE ,SIMPLE AND WELL BUILT ,

YES I,V SEEN THEM ,DONK IS SHORT FOR DONKY A.K,A, [ A$$] AND THAT IS WHAT THOSE CARS LOOK LIKE ,

THAT LAST CAR IS ABOUT THE DUMB,EST THING I,V SEEN ,THE CARS IN THE TOP PICTURE ARE SWEET AND COOL, THAT THING SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN BUILT ,

DUDE YOU GOT THE LOOK! THOSE WHEELS REALY MAKE IT ,NICE WORK ALL AROUND ,CLEAN BUILD,

GOT THE INTERIOR DONE TO DAY ,

I,M GOING TO WEIGH IN ON THIS TOPIC , I LOVE THE IDEA OF RAT RODS BUT HATE THE TERM RAT ROD ,AS SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW I,V BUILT A FEW ,I LIKE THE IDEA OF BUILDING SOME THING OUT OF WHAT EVER PARTS YOU CAN GET AND THE IDEA OF NOT PAINTING IT IS PART OF THE THEME OF BEING ON A BUDGET , IF I WAS A LATE TEEN OR EARLY 20,S SOME THING BACK IN THE 40,S /50,S I WOULD HAVE BUILT SOME THING LIKE WHAT WE CALL A RAT ROD ,BECAUSE THATS WHAT I COULD HAVE AFFORDED , I,M SORRY BUT LIKE THEM ,

THANKS FOR THE NICE COMMENTS GUYS , WORKING ON THE INTERIOR AND OTHER DETAILS WILL TRY TO POST SOME PICS WHEN I CAN ,
