they are?

I've been getting really lucky on this one, I'm sure I'll pay for it by saying this. But some builds fight me start to finish, this one I've been pretty lucky and things are just falling into place. Tackled the ladder bars tonight, first I started with the rear bars from the new 29 roadster kit then made a crossmember from coated wire. a little trimming and I'm in business, I might add some more bracing to the bars, I'll play with it a bit tomorrow.

Wow! You gotta get some good pictures of those, looks like a more than a few great builds there -
Looks really nice!

Could really mess with our heads and incorporate more cuda styling cues in the front, hat center grille bar really starts leaning that way. this kind of reminds me of that car that recently wa built in 1:1, it had inspiration from many pony cars. It's name escapes me at the moment though..

I have a soft spot for these Camaros. I'm sure this won't disappoint
-
haha you got it now

Oh man, this is about to get good... Well better it was already good

Today I moved onto the rear suspentuon. I cleaned up the axle tubes to remove the leaf spring pads, then built a crossmember at the rear and moved the leaf springs inward a bit to make room for those big tires. while that was setting up I moved up front to the inner fender wells. Those need to go. tons of room for headers now!

wrong one.. We do act alike though so much so that his dad calls me his adopted son. Haha

Something I forgot to mention yesterday. The beauty of the Internet is the ability to not post all the stuff I screwed up before I finally had something presentable. I have a big pile of "scrap" from things I flung across the shop. Either from the lathe, or my hands. hA!

Trust me.. If the paint idea works out, krazy will make sense
-
Remade the stacks.. Better this time I think. I also made a blower intake while I was at it, I like tall and crazy apparently.
-
yep... NAILED IT
-
Well, I think this should do.. straight to crAzYtoWn

Man this sounds fun, I'll have to see what my work schedule is, what day is it?

that's a good thought that has crossed my mind actually...

2013 60th Anniversary Corvette 427 Convertible

That looks amazing -
Yeah, that seems too predictable for me though... I want something kinda funky

Trying to plan the engine now, my original idea of stealing the tunnel ram from a old AMT kit doesn't look like it is going to pan out

Got some work done today, started by mocking up the front axle from the 53 Chevy sedan delivery kit. I swear I spent 30 minutes just cleaning that part up, I should have probably looked for something else. But it works.. I also cut out the area in the rear wheel well that is hitting the slicks. while I was at it I opened that rear wheel opening just a bit too. Really starting to like the stance
-
This is awesome
-
Well this is pretty awesome
-
So the more I look at it, the more I think the front wheels are too big. Like 1/24 too big... Thoughts?
-
Man this one is a beauty!
