SHINY!

My blue 48?

Sweet!

picked up the 29 "rat rod" (god i hate that term and all the "rods" it encompasses) kit the otherday. in the early stages but kind of going for a 60's surf rod style, something bright and jumpy with lots of chrome. gone is the 4 cylinder and in its place will be the flathead from the custom 48 ford kit. will be using the closed pickup cab but with the track nose and the mag wheels. not sure on colour, seems everything ive done lately is either red or blue, so im thinking a pale yellow, or maybe white. open to ideas though.

Vipers had v10s Go with chevy power

Colchester man for life

I prefer real, big boy sized lathes.

Fantastic!

once again Brilliant work bernard.

way cool. those honda swapped minis are bloody viscious little critters.

looks good. but shouldnt it be in the trucks section?

What kit did the scottys decals come from? Looks great by the way.

Hm. I rhought the other colours errent offered till the 70 model year.

Nice camaros.

Not my thing but extremly well executed

Are those kit supplied decals?

In 69 judges were only available in carousel red.

I like the ideas you have harry. But a suggestion ofsub forums for each genre. That way if someonelike myself who is bored to tears by nascar or stock builds doesnt have to sift through those builds to find neat stuff like drag cars and customs.

Thanks. Ill post some more pics tonight

lots more done today. interior is 99 % done. just needs the top half of the dash and its done. the engine is complete save for the wiring (ran out of CA) and the final fit ment of the velocity stacks which i will wait untill the engine is in the chassis with the body on to be sure they line up with the hood. gave the body the initial wetsanding and shot another coat (final) of clear. will wetsand tomorrow then the body is done. still not sure if i will use the decals or not, if i do it will get one more coat of clear just to seal them.

that is the look i was going for vince. thanks!

dont have kids. got my old man a new set of polished cast alum. edelbrock valve covers for the camaro. for NEXT years fathers day, ill be building a new engine for the car over the coming winter. 450 horses is a given. likely well north of 500.

thanks gringo

mild 390 and 450 horse dont belong in the same paragraph. only good place for a 390 is tied to the end of a boat...

even got the good brass freeze plugs in her
