the paint is amazing

I grew up in Michigan and had a lot of references on rusted cars

I was going to add some holes in the floor but ran out of time. I finished it last Friday night before heading over to the show.

What started as a White 70 Monte Carlo SS project and when the paint was messed up and stripped I couldn’t get the body fully clean to repaint it so the restoration project began. Added a vinyl top, opened the trunk and doors, the passenger door was beyond repair so added a new one and yet to install the interior door panel. Well worn seats and dirty seatbelts along with a headliner that has seen better days. The engine could use a good cleaning also.

Sorry didn't meet the deadline I've been out with a knee injury not allowing me to sit at the bench. I am finally able to sit for a while. I have CSX 2127 engine done so far and the suspension is next. I managed to get the throttle linkage stuffed in between the carbs but you cant see much of it now with the carbs installed.

Great job on the Cheetah

Thanks to the new posts, it’s finally getting me back to working on CSX2127 #80 Cobra. Engine mock up about done still need to do throttle linkages and finish fuel lines. I didn’t like the exhaust the came with the kit so added a set of shorty headers and built the tubes to the side pipes.

The engine is looking Great

Sorry I've been out sick; my club posted the flyer on another thread here. I copied it and if you haven't seen it yet here it is.

I can have someone post a flyer for the show, but our Facebook page is RIFF-RAFF scale auto model car club if that helps.

What started out as a kit bought for just the engine, turned out to be a pretty good kit. I bought this Monogram 2004 Corvette Z06 to use the engine for another kit I was doing but then decided to build it. I cut the drivers door and trunk open also opened the headlights.

Great job on the Grand Sport

I used some 1/48 aircraft engine decals from Airscale, I found they look almost like the original weber ones.

Can Gramps46 or anyone help shed some light on the area behind the front fenders that flair out. Was this required for a reason or a rule?

The paint is amazing great shine on it.
