  8. Thanks everyone for all the nice comments and interest in this build I really appreciate it... I got some work on this one today.. I tried a mock up with the rear glass from the kit installed and the thickness of the glass was causing the back of the car to sit too high .. the glass was resting on the bars that extend out into the trunk... So I used a very thin piece of styrene and glued it to the inside for the glasses I make out of clear styrene to rest on and also did the front windshield, and the doors and quaters... I added dirt modeler dzus fastener brackets to the front end.. and I also went ahead and got the headers made up ... thanks for looking and comments welcome.... I also got the steering shaft mounted,

  14. Thanks fellas, I made it to Atlanta this weekend but I didnt take any builds.. I left way later than expected and I was only able to make it there for the last couple of hours... I finshed this one up today and I've cleared out a nice little spot for this one in the case.. I got the rear chutes done... got the seat and harness in.. steering wheel,cords and racepak guages are done.. I made some window frames and finished up the inner door panels.. I added my fuel lines from the fuel cell, and added a throttle cable... I may redo that when I get some more return springs.. the one I had fell on the floor never to be found... thanks for looking in and for all the nice comments....
