Well done! Striking paint contrast.

Welcome!

Very nice!

His quality has improved over the years.

You're correct, I found the post that indicated that. Thanks.

Did the entry list get pulled or am I losing it? Anyway, what about numbers? We had to request numbers last time and I see some requesting but I'm wondering if it matters and if so is there a list.

Very nice!

Competition Resins has the scoop.

Nicely done!

So, I fitted the printed chassis with the Camaro subframe and discovered that plan was a no-go because the wheels would have sat way too high, and the subframe was too wide. So I went to plan B and added a dropped subframe to the chassis design. After doing that I realized that the engine would sit higher as well so I opted to switch to the LS engine for the hood clearance. I originally built it for my 72 GTO I entered and withdrew for the 2019 CBR. I got the rear suspension mocked up, but have to fabricate some brackets for the leading arms. The transaxle was a separate tranny & diff that I joined. They're from a C5 Corvette, which is where the engine came from as well. The axles were assembled from parts box pieces and a couple of printed hubs so the brake rotors fit. Now I have to fabricate a front suspension. I think I'll use a McPherson strut setup if I have enough clearance.

Coming along quite nicely!

Awesome!

Well done.

Great project! Lots of fab work to do on with this one.

Nice add-ons!

Nice custom work!

Nice! I need one of those!

Awesome project!

Well done! I've got a Jeep body that I'm planning something different with too, though not as wild as that.

I've had this kit for a while and figured now would be a good time to pull it out with the theme for the Cannonball Run being year of birth. I had originally planned to build it as if GM allowed it to be built as a production vehicle but I'll go this route instead, but keeping with the design elements of the car like rear mounted transmission, DeDion rear suspension, and Stratostreak engine, thanks to Mark Doolittle. I jumped right in and did all the necessary cutting. The kit is circa 1956 with all the associated fit issues, the fact that its a curbside with an integrated chassis, and that fin. As for the chassis I decided to use the front subframe from a 70.5 Camaro for the suspension, and design and print the rear half. I've gone through a couple of prototypes prior to the start of the contest but after cutting the body I found that I needed to make further changes. Because of the way the rear curves up I had to raise the rear portion of the chassis about 5mm. I'll also be changing the front end a bit. there is no grille on the original concept car design and I know that wouldn't work in the real world, especially in a coast to coast race. Plus I'm a glutton for punishment. Thanks for looking and commenting.

Good stuff Chris, I bought the 6x2 carb kit and valve covers for my 50 Olds.

Looks like a nice project Scott!

Awesome work!

Nicely done!

Nice project!
