Thank you Craig, it is a lot easier to add detail to the new 32 frame, the stance will remain pretty much as is, I decided to do a slight wedge channel to keep it from having the rear up look of a lot of hot rods. The suspension height is locked in and I’m stoked on getting more work done. Seeing as I’m on a 5 day isolation ban I should have a fair bit of bench time. My biggest hurdle now will be to select a colour that will showcase this work properly. stay tuned…

Yeah looking at it now it might be a tad overkill, but I’m gonna run with it.

Your bodywork is flawless, you would never tell that the bed floor had been modified ?

Jim, nail on the head!

To be honest I could not tell you, it’s a parts bin special.

You’d never get any work done up here, we’ve been locked in a deep freeze for weeks, average temps were below -25 Celsius. That red does look very red indeed. Can’t wait to see this one finished.

Yep an Ardun will be the centrepiece, I have a nice set of resin heads. Just buttoning up the front end right now.

Alterations complete,

I’ve got a box of semi survivors that fit the criteria of this build, I like it.

Some of it is was yes

Thanks for catching my flub @Dennis Lacy, happy that it was able to be corrected in time. That’s what I like about this forum, the help and support. ?

2 forward… 3 back☹️

Because it is water!

Thank you for the kind words @Dennis Lacy the engine in the photos is just one that I've been using to mock up with, the correct engine will have a lasalle box and adaptor, it was my hope that it will fit properly. if not I can quickly remove the center sections and slide them all back a tinch. That was supposed to be last nights challenge but my area of the city lost power for 8 hours haha.

Keep it up James, that’s looking ready to tear down the strip or cruise down the boulevard on a Friday night!

The real secret is that he has three hands! ?

Rear suspension finally laid out properly, everything is just pinned in place right now, I still need to carve the c-notches off the frame. Trying to decide if I should keep the stock wishbone, split it or add rear hairpins.

Thank you Bill, I do like the look of a flathead in a lot of cars, the engine design is just appealing. And a potvin blown flathead has just got to sound bitchin.

Got the Atlantis repop of the mooneyes dragster, have to say I’m not super impressed. with all the hype about this I guess I was expecting a lot better, the amount of flash and sink marks is discouraging. However it is a great source of some really cool parts.

Audi in the early noughties had some awesome colours, RS2 blue is among them. I’m keen to see this one finished as I also have a soft spot for rowdy wagons

Key Lime Pie!! I think the interior is perfect Bob.

Agreed on that, the instructions from Revell are kind of ADD, they skip around a fair bit, they could have simplified the instructions to show one build at a time, kinda like older AMT instructions. I agree the spreader bar does lend a nice accent to the front end. Great build so far.

@Dennis Lacy with all the upgrades to the engine and exhaust will you be adding subframe connectors as well,( unsure if the kit has them)?

I can hear that blasting down the boulevard now! Looks great @Dennis Lacy

The wood frame is killer, love the stacks too!
