bluestringer

She's sitting on all four. Slow progress, just too hot and humid to stay in my work shed for long. The front of the traction bars had no connection point, I had to drill some holes in the frame rails for the pin to fit in. It's kinda of a strange chassis all around with the built in square mufflers and exhaust system. The street version I'm building has the headers connecting into those square mufflers and the short pipes used do not line up correctly.

Thanks Carl. It looks better than I thought it would. Thanks Bob. I am too, I think I'm not going to clear it, maybe just polish it a little.

Thanks. It's Tamiya X-4 blue.

Got some paint on.

Thanks Bob. Thanks Carl.

Great looking gasser. Nice work.

Awesome build Bob. Nice work.

Gregg Allman covers Muddy Waters I Can't Be Satisfied.

Thanks Lee, Steve, Bob and Jeff. Appreciate it.

The dash and seats will be black. The body and rest of the interior will be Tamiya x-4 blue. Been working on the front suspension which is very fiddly.

Thanks Bob.

The tire decals were fiddly but I got them on there.

Levon Helm as the old ballistics guy in Shooter. Best scene in the movie.

I checked mine and yes it looks like it will be a problem. I'll try to sort it out. Meanwhile the engine is done and I got primer on the body. I'm not liking the headers much, look too cartoony, but I didn't have anything else.

Thanks Mike, I'll check mine. Haven't done much with it yet, been cleaning up the body and worked a little on the engine.

Next victim. I'll be building the street version.

Thanks guys for the comments and the likes. I appreciate it.

Calling it done. Under glass.

Turned out ok. OOB build. Tamiya Deep Green exterior, Tamiya Nato Black interior. Bed planks painted Tamiya Deck Tan, molotow pen used on the strips. Rims painted Rustoleum semi gloss black with baby moons from parts box.

Looks awesome. Great weathering.

Not sure what happened but the front wheels seem not centered correctly. I don't know if I glued the front axle on wrong or what. The frame is as far forward as it will go and the rear wheels look ok. Also, the exhaust tips are in the way of the rear bumper or vice versa, don't know what happened there. I had to tilt the tips down to get the bumper on. I still need to get the tail lights and decals on before calling it done. Hope to finish it today.
