Looking good Darryl...

here's a few more....I will be using the floor pan and lower chassis only from the pro sportsman kit... the rest of the cage will be scracth built..I made the front and rear spoiler from sheet styrene...this will not be a replica of this car I just love the stance and look of this car..

Alright fellas... this is another project I've been messing around with...like I need another project... ... I was playing around on the computer today and saw this bad mama jamma... got to digging around in the parts stash.... and ended up with this....lol...

Thanks for the words of encouragement fellas... I really appreciate it and it keeps me going.... I've made some progress today.. did a little painting and I decided to go with grey interior... and I'm going to paint the bars and cage the same color as the car.I decided to go with the grey interior after seeing Erik Smith's w.i.p and his turned out great... still some work to do on mine though.. I also added my bars to the rear end ... I still need to make some coilovers for the back also... I shot a little primer to the hood and deck lid to see what needs to be done to them... thanks for looking and comments welcome...

Stupendous work on this body Jeff......

Thanks Leonard, and Bill... I appreciate the kind words and thanks for checking in on it.... I fooled around with this one a little last night mainly with the engine... I made a engine plate from .030 styrene.. and got it mocked up in the engine bay... I think I'm gonna go ahead and make this one a nos motor, and the next one I will do will be a turbo set up.. dont have pieces yet for a turbo... I also made the cowl hood from styrene.. thanks for looking and comments welcome...

here's a few more...

Thanks fellas... for the kind words... I've started doing a little bit of painting of some of my parts... I also when ahead and made up the front springs and added the front disc brakes.. the pads and rotors are from futurattraction... I'm still up in the air about the engine I'll using, not sure about the turbos yet.... here's a few pics... thanks for looking and comments welcome....

Thanks Kerry....

here's a few more....

Thanks for the nice words of encouragment fellas... I really appreciate it... Ryan I usually make my own cowl hoods.. I'll be making one for this one also... well I made a front k-member and control arms from styrene rod ...I'm real happy wiith how they turned out... I modified the front struts from the pro stock cutlass kit, by making them longer... I made the rear wing. I decided to open the trunk, and I've started on the trunk floor and added some bracing and brackets to the rear end... thanks for looking and comments welcome....

rear wheels are from pegasus... I modified the rear centers from the pro magnums to weldstars.... the front wheels are from the Chi-Town hustler funny car kit.... aftermarket parts are from.... futurattraction.com..... dirtmodeler.com..... protechmodelparts...the engine is a modifed piece from the r/m 55 prosportsman kit....chassis was built from styrene rod.....

Yes...

Kris... the tires and wheels are from the first issue of the pro-stock cutlass kits.... Warren Johnson and Larry Morgan kits.... I sanded the raised letters off... Scott... I'm gonna try and make a K-member for the front end... I've been having a tough time trying to find some good pics of the front suspension or the rear end set ups on these little beasts....

Thanks for the kind words fellas.... I've made a little progress on this one.. I've got the transmission and shifter pods all finished up, and I've started on the batteries... thanks for looking and comments welcome...

thanks for the nce commets fellas... I really appreciate it... Leonard..... thanks for checking in.. I appreciate the input... Scott... thanks bro... I thought it would be cool to make those cuts in the chassis instead of just gluing them on top of floor.... as far as bending the styrene rod.. I use a lighter at times for some of my bends on others I bend the rod slowly and carefully by hand and then hit it with just a little heat from a lighter so that it keeps it's shape.. Mike.... thanks alot for checking in .... glad you like it... Michael.... I use evergreen .062 rod I think it's #221 for most of the bars... I've made a little bit of progress.. I've added some bars to the front of the car.. and decided to use the 8.8 ford rear end I'm gonna try to brace it up and make some shock mounts and brackets for it... here's a few pics... this is close to the ride height I'm after.....

a few more....

made a little bit more progress on this one tonight....

Looking great Dave... looks just like the real thing,....

Looking good Jeff... keep those updates coming.....

Looking great Dave... glad to see the chassis getting started....

Michael... the headers where paint gloss black first and then hit with aluminim, burnt iron, and polished brass....... I decided to make my own rear wing from sheet styrene.. I wanted it to come all the way out and fit flush with the rear quarters......

thanks for all the kinds words of encouragement fellas... I really appreciate it.. I was able to spend a little time at the bench the past few days and I made uo a set of mini tubs for the rear and have been working on the cage... thanks a million Joe for the link

Great work Andy.... I see you changed the color on the cage....shifter looks good buddy..
