  1. Nice project!
  2. Very well done!
  3. For my C7R I've nailed down what I want to do, and no I won't be just leaving off the decals on the original body as had been implied. It so happens that I have the body from the Foose C7 that I robbed the interior and drivetrain from for my 70 Camaro restocustom. I'll be using that body with the racing engine and chassis but its not a simple swap. The racing body is a widebody, and the chassis is a bit wider. The interior, however fits like a glove. No cutting to make it fit necessary. I do plan to have a passenger seat so I've got to cut out all of the racing paraphernalia and replace the floor where they now reside. I'll be using the kit wheels with some tires I had in the parts box which I believe came from a Viper kit. They are the same diameter but the C7R tires are hollow, and the wheels are designed for hollow tires and have a ridge and ribs that I ground off to make them fit. They fit fairly well under the body but the rear wheels stick out about 2mm too far. I think I can massage the wheels and chassis to make them fit, but that's for tomorrow. The pics below tell the story of where I am. Thanks for looking.
  4. Really nice build. I like the simplicity.
  5. Very well done!
  6. Good stuff!
  7. Nice!
  8. Nice project! I'm doing the C7R in stock form but after looking at yours I might change bodies as well. Still up in the air though.
  9. Nicely done!
  10. I agree with Espo, you need to have the windows and dash in with the test fit.
  11. Nicely done!
  12. Nice build. Love the color. I'm working on a 1960 with the cut down windshield myself right now. It's a lot more plain than yours though.
  13. Wild! That's what customizing is all about!
  14. Exactly! I used regular turbos on my diesel rat rod.
  15. Awesome fabrication work!
  16. Sweet project! I have the White Cabover body which has the identical front end. I'll have to get that.
  17. Nice build!
  18. Nicely done! Great detail.
  19. Nice work Luke. I've got that kit for someday and its good to see what can be done with it.
  20. I'll join the challenge with the C7R. Not the most low profile car but on sale at Hobby Lobby. A lot of great fabrication work being done on your builds. I'll have to find some goodies to add as well.
  21. I've been AWOL for a while and just seeing this. Great idea! I didn't make it to the finish line last year but I might give this a go but not wait until December.
