heres some more work done and some of the parts just waiting thier turn to be installed.. here the frame has been accessed through the trunk for the rear part of the roll cage. here notches have been cut out the back panel for the cage bars..

This is for those who may not have seen my car before it went into the body shop (4 months ago)

The whole reason for the original Chevelle model build was to use it as a design tool for the 1:1 so now if you dont mind I'd like to introduce you to "FaultLine" The Big Brother of Aftashox...... I brought him home from the body shop and got busy putting him together heres the start of the rollcage installation, First sections of the floor had to be cut away to allow access to the frame. A true rollcage should be welded to the frame and not the body as most do. Im a true HotRodder so it has to be right. I start by cutting 7'inch square patch from behind where the seats will be... now I have access to the frame where the main hoop will be welded heres the main hoop , its about 5 1/2 inches too tall so i'll cut that off.... Wala main hoop in place and ready for welding lots more ahead stay tuned... Hey i went out and cut the hole in the trunk for the fuel cell here are some progress pics... Here you can see how the cell just sits on the floor of the trunk.... hole cut and the cell is in place...... look at that Ford 9 inch Beautiful!! just beautiful....

Well its been a minute since i updated ya on this but heres the goodies my friend Ed and I welded in teh rollcage and I got my Wilwood brake system via UPS so heres a few pics of the work and brakes I hope you enjoy. heres ed doing the spot welding while I get ready to take over....(really I was just eating a bag of chip so he decieded to get the spot welds done)..... now in the trunk area.... heres some of the goodies that came in two Wilwood boxes....Gotta get the best brakes cause as I always say " I build my engine wrong and it wont go....But if I build my brakes wrong it wont stop!"..... check out the 6 piston calipers.... this master cylinder is a master piece of aluminum work.... and i got the steel braided hose kit too... Stay tuned for more to come....

Thx guys for all this great info

Thx bro that means alot comming from a long time poser user, I used to use 3DMax as well years ago, I used to design map for a online vedio game called rainbow six back in the 90's. Take care and I'll talk to you later

Our days are a month long on my planet arent yours?

Hey I use a program called Poser8 I used a program called Daz3D (which is a free program)to make all of what you see here. I make my own skins from photographs and such. I taught myself how to use these programs over the course of two years and ive been working on my book for just under a year. I used basic figures and enhanced them, now I have my own base to build on. The book is amazing I wish I could upload it, as it sits its stuck on my computer untill I can go down to the company that made my comic book software and get them to get it off my computer so it can be published.

LOL! I try to sleep Jim but it seems everytime I lay my head down the creativity starts LOL! so i do most of my work in the wee hours of the night. Thx for the compliment bro

This is a scene from the elven home world where the planets leading designer (scientis) has designed a new Biocamo battle suite (which actually becomes apart of the wearers DNA)for one of the worriors. To have a design make something special for you is considered a great honor! Almost as great an honor as having one of the ancients share a dream with you. Our warrior enters the lab.... one mearly has to think of a color and the suite will respond in turn even as far as granting invisability.... the next day the suite has fully matured... I hope you enjoyed this small preview of "PreEarther" I will post more if you'd like to see more.

Hey fellas not many people know I do 3D rendering as a matter of fact I have writen a grafic noval that i did all the art work for and it will be published this spring. Hopefully I'll be able to provide you guys who are interested with a copy of it. Now not all these pictures are car related but I will start with a car and then show you some of the characters from the story. I hope you enjoy this preview of my novel "PreEarther" this is one of my main characters in the story shes from the elven home world... this is the main character of the story Major Todd Gamble of the U.W.M.C (United World Marine Corps) of PreEarth. This is a Enforcer from the future earth Royal Troops

Im Not Worthy......Harry you are the man i wish i had that kinda skills in photoshop. I do 3D grafix though I'll post some here for you to see (but in my own thread of course)

Yeah I have a hard time chewing gum and walking at the same time. LOL! thanks for the compliment bro.
