I made some progress on the foil work. I still have some more to tidy up and correct some tears. Unfortunately I had a couple of bits of paint pull up but hopefully I can touch up the paint well enough that it doesn’t show up much.

I have been slowly making progress. Next up is learning how to do bare metal foil.

I am going to build a 60 Ford Starliner. Hopefully if I start in January, I will get it finished before the deadline.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to finish in time. The weather hasn't been cooperating with getting a decent paint job. I will finish the car and put it in a separate build thread.

I made some progress from last weekend. I cut out the trunk lid and made an inner structure for the lid. I also got a start on modifying the 91 Corvette ZR1 suspension and engine to fit the chassis. I still need to finish that and make a new fuel cell for back of the car.

Awesome. I should be able to post some update photos later this week of the modernized suspension.

That’s some cool details.

Quick question on keeping within the rules. I picked up a 93 Corvette ZR1 kit was thinking about doing a drivetrain and suspension swap for my 55 Chevy Bel Air. I know that on the real car that the rear isn’t too complicated just brackets added but the front requires redoing the front frame rails to get a compatible front crossmember to fit. Does this conversion still fit within the rules?

I want to join this build. I'm going to go with a 55 Chevy Bel Air. For the engine, I'm believe I'm going to use a 327 out of the 63 Corvette kit.
