I doubt hell mind, if you like that piece, youll love his other work.

looks good!!!!

AWESOME!!! I have one of those bodies sitting here. Having raced on the salt, anything land speed gets me going

Jeff Norwell is the artist if you didnt know. Hes a really cool, talented guy with some awesome hot rods

I suppose youre right haha

well when/if you do, Ill most likely be in the market! I use to land speed race and love land speed cars

did you ever end up making any bodies Bill?

LOOKS AMAZING RANDY!!!!! Im not a big sports car type fan, but the early ones were just down right elegant and sexy!!! I actually study them for hot rod ideas. Being a fabricator for a profession makes me fall in love

Not only does it look badass, itd be fun to drive!!

Ill be watching for sure.

i just picked one of these up, IM hoping it will be a fun litle project

you cant just stop here!!!!! I love that interior

It really does look like old checked lacquer!!! I know it wasnt your intended finish, but it could work well if you weather the rest of the model.

the way they separated the roof reminds me of Buddy Ohanesians 40 Mercury and I think thats why it popped into my head.. if you look up Rik Hoving, youll get lost for hours researching period customs haha

thats screaming to be a 40s/early 50s era custom with a removable hardtop...some sombrero hubcaps, tail dragger stance etc

Looks good!, Im gonna be doing the same since my down n dirty mock up is still sitting right next to me as I type..I keep telling myself not to mess with it right now as for the dog house, I have an awesome MRS that has never once complained when I bought or drug something home...She listens to my hairbrained ideas since Im a designer and fabricator whos brain never shuts off.. Although honestly, i do wish she would stop me once and awhile..but Im not gonna tell her that!!!! haha

Ill be following..I love the old IMSA cars

Wheelbase is your friend at high speed

So the other day i recieved my ebay score. Thought id share the direction im going. I had to buy 5 corvette builds to get a started street shark... now that i have one, its going full drag race mode (will open up the rear wheelwells for proper slick location and put proper wheels under it). First stop is a trip in the purple bath. JAMES...i blame you 100 percent for starting your build and making me buy this haha THREAD HIJACK OVER

love that brown!!!!

I have to get back on mine, its sitting on my shelf staring at me haha

yeah I received the notification to bump my bid just as the auction ended. I did however find a partially built one that was buried with other kits...so I may be back in business haha. The work you performed so far looks awesome btw. Ill be following so I can do the same

I just lost an ebay auction by 1 dollar for a "street shark" version.. I feel I need to build this kit haha

Id drop Ed an email, hes very good about replying. We speak a few times a week actually. Really nice guy

drag city castings is Eds business. Lowcab36@epix.net is his email here is the page to see his parts/bodies etc https://public.fotki.com/drasticplasticsmcc/member_dealer_directory/drag-city-casting-/
