A sunlight set of pictures and some updates as well. Body all assembled, interior mostly finished, some of the injection done. Once body was mounted to floor pan, hinge no longer worked, so I had to remake one from a section of a Duster rear seat, tube styrene and brass rod. The wheel base is not off on right side, it slid forward on body hinge, as body is removable. In the pictures, it is hard to tell that the sun and peace sign are both half gold, half silver. I planned that out in the base colors. I still may redo the upper panel fish scales, as I was really shaky on the day I painted them. There are a couple more surprises to come to stay on the outrageous side of things, they will be shown at the end.

Some more updates, got 3 more coats of clear on it, blew it back apart, foiled body trim with BMF. I started working on the chassis. I got the wheelbase figured out, made chassis to differential brackets, made a driveshaft, made brackets for seat and lower cover panels. I made cage to fit around new radically raised seat. Since Grandma is between 5 foot and 5 foot nuthin, she can’t see over the wheel, so I scratch built a phone book for her to sit on. I covered all the aluminum panels with matte aluminum BMF to make them pop a little more. I then had to figure out the body hinge. Using portions of the original funny car frame hooks, I radically shortened them, made brackets for them and fashioned body pivot( still a little rough, but will look good) I started wiring the mags, also will be adding injection lines and other goodies. I drilled out zoomie tubes

Outstanding! The attention to details and painting are fabulous.

Thank you Bob. It’s coming along pretty well, more to come

Incredible fabrication throughout!! Your attention to detail is simply put, amazing. I eagerly await the next updates!

Blower, hat, linkage, injection all look amazing

Thank you Ryan, stay tuned in

Stunning!! Great looking build

Thank you Bob. That is what I am aiming for, absolutely nutty! Keep watching, more off the wall stuff to come!

Some more progress, still have some cleanup to do on rear fish scale pattern. I’ m starting to work on chassis configuration now. I had to remove a section from middle of chassis and need to relocate differential to area that the seat occupied. The seat will be located over the diff now. I will have to relocate the column, dash, shifter and chute release. There will be a bunch of fabrication to do here.

Nicely detailed, looks great. Fantastic color choice.

Nice! I like it Roger. The display is really cool also.

I’m in!

Cool concept, always nice to see something that is not the usual, often done . It definitely works! I’ m watching

Thank you! I’m shooting for something so out there, that you would never see again. I wanted to paint a cow howling at the moon on it, but I couldn’t get permission, so I scratched it. I will have a couple surprises along the way. I’m also trying to re- hone my airbrush skills, since I got away from custom painting over 30 years ago.
