Haubenschild

The other skirt has been removed and the wheel arches have been rounded slightly at the rear and the exhaust exits have been cut ( yes I am aware of all the slash marks on the body ) I am still not sure sure on the exhaust tip , I am thinking of a rectangular metal tip or twin exhaust tips

Here is the rear wheel arch. ( the black shaded area is for a side exit exhaust opening

I already removed one fender skirt , It wasnt the cleanest job and the wheel well is now kinda squared off , but it sure looks good!

Darn it! I better put this engine into the bracketless alternator protection program Here are the painted body pieces that were sprayed in Tamiya TS-52 Candy lime green from the can

Very cool subject! Nice detailing on the interior!

Thanks ray! I got TS-52 Candy lime green sprayed on the body today , pics will be up in a few hours

The engine is finished.

Oh wow. I thought it would set in a few hours . Thanks for the help

Hello , I am just wondering what the mixing ratio of putty to hardener is. I tried using some 3 hours ago and it still hasnt hardened. Thanks

The windshield housing has been attached and the front bumper is being modified

I knew it wouldnt be my last , I am already thinking about buying another one

This is my first hot rod build....... yeah I started out by spraying the block Tamiya TS-21 Gold straight from the can. The carbs were painted a mix of XF-56 and XF-16. I wanted this engine to be wired so I used a Pro Tech vertex magneto I had laying around. I wasnt sure about the firing order of the engine , so I used the firing order from a Chrysler 426 Hemi. The wiring dosent look very good , but Its good enough for me at this point.

This will be the stance I am going to go with , with a slight raise in the rear ( I currently dont have a rear suspension that will allow the rear tires to fit in the wheel wells ). I plan on having a street rod exterior with pro touring style engine / suspension. I also really really want criticism since this is my first pro touring / modern street rod style build. front / rear bumpers , grille , steering wheel , fan , and windshield housing are off to the dechroming bucket

Wow , Thanks alot guys! I really appreciate this since this will be my first time doing any chassis / body work. What tool(s) will I need for cutting the chassis?

I am not a fan of the molded in exhausts on the kits frame so I am considering modifying the chassis heavily , or scratchbuilding a whole new chassis which will be a huge project for me. I am also wondering if there are any chassis that would fit under this kit , thanks

This will now be a Moder street rod build based off this car http://www.rkmotorsc...d/133105/179318 So back to the drawing board.... I am beginning to sand off the trim

Well , I got back yesterday . It was pretty neat though , I actually saw quite a few nice cars ( 63-67 vette convertible , Lexus LFA , and a Pontiac Executive )

The issue I was having was fitting the wired engine into the bay , the firewall was the main cause of the problem.

The rear window was smooth in 1969? I believe.

Well , I am pretty sure the R/T stripe on the side was put on either before or after the guy bought it , there are also a few other missing pieces. If XS23 was on the fender tag it would be an R/T

Well , the engine wouldnt fit in the engine bay , the chrome is fading like crazy so I am deciding to ditch box stock and go for a mild custom / pro touring look. Im thinking about either a 5.0 EFI , or 426 hemi setup with maybe a corvette? suspension with either wide whites with mags or low profile tires , I am a budget so I am just trying to use parts from the parts box ( which is basically nothing )

This was filling up at a gas station in the Norweigan countryside. I was kinda skeptical when the owner said it was painted in its original colour , so I snapped a picture of the VIN sorry about the photo size , these were taken with an Iphone 4s and here is the fender tag

Finnally home , now I can get the Countach finished

Congratulations Andy! Now finish that McLaren!!
