Absolutely LOVE it!

I was just in a nearly local(25 minute ride) to an Ollie's and there wasn't a cool kit like that in there. Reefer trailers, pink Thunderchickens, and some sort of figure model.

How's this one coming along?

Any progress?

EPIC!

That looks great!

@Spex84That is exactly what i was looking for. Thank You very much!

Haven't had much bench time this week. Getting ready for the BIG BIG show in Carlisle this next week. Anyone else attending Chryslers at Carlisle? I'm studying up on this cowl steering and am not finding a whole lot on the steering knuckle setup. Does anyone know where to find information on this?

That's Sharp as a Tack!

Just like 1973

I'm digging it.

That looks great.

That was a good kit to build back then. This is my favorite year Goat.

Got to spend a little time on the 3 Window this evening. Had to modify the rear track arms. The new mufflers were in the way of the instructed installation. Shortened them up a bit. I've got the front radius rods are fitted to the new axle(no pic). Driveshaft built. The steering shaft goes through right into the McSchroeder Steering Box as intended. I'll trim the collar up during body work/paint prep. I fit rotors to the hubs for better stopping power. I think the bend of the shifter looks right at home.

Did the PopPop thing today. Not much done on the '32. I did install locating pins and drilled the floor for them.

ZZ Top kit

Those are some BIG meats!

Looking good Dude!

I have a nice "seasoned" set.... There. That's better.

I've got some larger tubing in place on the steering unit. I'm thinking about the exhaust. I LOVE zoomies, but I'm not patient enough to attempt that right now. Not sure how 572 cubic inches would sound through cherry bombs, or how well it would breathe. I do think the kit's pipes will help map out a nice system. I believe I've got a set of NOS Sonic Turbos around here somewhere 👀

That's a cool long roof

Long day in the shop = little time at the bench. This is the crude beginning of the Schroeder steering box. I think some trimming and addition of styrene straps will give me the basic shape needed to sand/file it into shape.

This is cool. I remember one coming into the station I worked in as a kid.

Well, that's a fair observation. In my mind the angle of the shifter is perfect for this application as I could still open the door with the wheel turned all the way left. If it were a 1:1 ride I would work out the geometry for a rack and pinion steering gear. As far as stopping goes, I don't think that will be an issue. I really don't think those skinny little tires will EVER get enough traction for super high speeds. Especially sitting on my shelf. 😎
