Thanks, Casey and Sherm, I think Sherm is correct that it is likely the one that Henry worked on! Henry, do you have e link to that topic? I don't know what kind of funds you may need to get it to he printer, but I know I'm definitely interested, so if I can help, within reason, put me down to help out.

Thanks, Lee! A pic with the wheels on. I think I need to re-work the rear wheel openings because they don't look centered to me: It's amazing how much junk you start noticing once you start putting primer in there. Not to mention the primer gassed-out and I have a ton-load of finessing to do on smoothing it out.

You make it look too easy. Keep it going, man!

Thanks, Casey! While that is pretty cool looking, that wasn't it either. I seem to recall someone drawing a later model in CAD and they were talking about possibly offering it printed (like TDR's through Shapeways).

Thanks, Michael! I did see that one and have theirs in 1/16, but am looking for the late model version.

Thanks gents! I'll try taking some pics with the body as it is in primer, with it also sitting in the wheels.

Last year some time, I seem to recall someone working in a CAD file for a late model PM/PS Camaro body. I believe the goal was to eventually offer them through shapeways or something similar. Does anyone know if that project was ever completed to offer for sale? If not, does anyone know of anyone working on something like that for the near future?

I recently started back on a couple of PM builds I began working on some almost 9 years ago. I worked on the funny-car cage within the chassis/roll cage: Camaro Vette

I know it has been a while, but I've been working on a couple of Pro Mod builds I started almost 9 years Argo, in order to change things up a little. As part of having to re work the rear wheel wells of the PM '53 Vette, I had to whip out the 'ole mud and therefore decided to slap some mud and the first coat of primer onto the Ghia: I know it may not look like much and it's still a little rough, but with all the body mods and all, I don't think I it is all too bad off. To be honest, I was a little worried about being able to pull of decent looking lines once the mud was slung on there. A little more careful mud sessions and a few more build coats of primer and we should be in good shape.

Bad to the bone! Great job, Clay!

Stunning. Ken! I think it I turning out great!!!

Thanks for all the support and wishing me well on getting my Ghia project back. Although I don't have any WIP updates, I thought I would let everyone know that I got the Ghia back yesterday. I went to the FAST show in Ocala, FL yesterday and Stan Ligon brought it up from Tampa for me. So far, all seems to be well. Now to get refocused and motivated. After going to the World Import Challenge in Orlando, I have a hankering to build an import drag car.

Hey, Darryl- Man we miss you guys. Yeah, I took it to show the MAGS guys and left it ate the NSRA show. Stan or Pat has it and so I might get it back either at the FAST show, or get someone else to being it to me.

Thanks guys. I'll have to see if Gregg, or anyone at the mag, is interested in putting some thoughts to print on the soldering bit. I have a few thoughts written down and along with David Morton and Dave Sherman (Comp1320), I'm sure we can come up with some of our tips. As for the Ghia, I'm afraid there won't be any updates for a couple of weeks as I took it with me to a contest in Tampa, FL this weekend to show some guys and I thought I had everythig packed,but forgot the Ghia. I'm trying to figure out how I'll get it back.

A couple with the body on it: One with just the wheels on and no body:

Some pics of the roll bar attached to the engine plate. With the "L" stock cut to length and the three holes drilled, I used those holes to set the distance for the holes on the engine plate to be drilled and tapped. Once that was done, I marked the three on the horizontal hoop and machined some material off so that you would be able to get to e bolt. Once that was all done, I attached the "L" bracket to the plate, let the horizontal hoop rest on there and measured the distance and cut and ground until I got the part sized correctly. At that point, I was able to go ahead and solder the horizontal in place and the other supporting pieces of rod around the horizontal hoop. You can see that the bolts aren't actually attaching the roll bar in these pics: However, in this pic, the bolts are in. The point being that doing it that way lined the holes up perfectly. The only thing I will need to do, is adjust for tolerance once I chrome the roll bar and that little bit of chromed will likely throw it off and I will need to file it down a little: Thanks for looking!!!

I hear you Bro!!! Definitely some nasty stuff.

Very cool!

Very nice, Jeff!

Wow!!!talk about excellent styrene scratch-building! VERY nice indeed!

Looking good, Ken! I did a little surfing on he web last night and this is really a cool car! You're doing a great job capturing it too! I keep checking in high anticipation, for progress updates to see where you are. Can't wait for the next update.

Thanks guys! @ Kerry- I know what you mean. My favorite part is the engineering, fabrication and building. Painting is one of my least favorite parts of building and that's mostly because of having to cover everything up Thanks guys! A few more pics of the roll cage: As always,thanks for looking!

Very nice work in progress, Darryl!!! I always like your stuff and this one is shaping up nicely!

Thanks, Dwayne! I did consider it and I think you're probably right on the double loop. Only for my taste, I kept it straight as I'm not a huge fan of the double loop. Jay Ruiz (a/k/a BKIN10SECS) also told me I should do it that way. I do truly appreciate the input!!!

I agree with everyone else. Beautiful and very well done!
