  4. i built this car for my fiance to haul a demo car i built her. it dont have a whole lot of detail. just somthing fun and easy for me to build for her i couldnt get engine pics because i didnt have good lighting but its got a 302 with dual quads i had to cut special motor mounts to make it fit
  5. Yeah I havnt touched the body really besides sanding off the emblems. Im gunna get to the hobby shop see if they have dimond plate sheet plastic. I plan on roughing the body up a little bit tho
  6. i got a little bit more done. almost done with the interior. i just have to add a shifter and a start button but other than that its close. i put the radiator in and put foam padding around and ratchet straps over the radiator. i am waiting for stuff so i can start on the body. im not bending it up im going to leave it no damaged. if u see anything else ud like me to add let me know
  7. man that makes mine look like ###### lol. i like it alot great job
  8. well i spent most of the day yesterday on the derby car. i added body mount bolts and wired up my gauges. an dfinaly finnished my motor all except for wireing up my starter. its my first time doing wiring to anything and its kinda frustrating lol. i think everything turned out pretty good. heres the motor all wired up before instalation heres the cage installed still have to put in the seat and steering wheel its coming along nicely tho when i installed the cage i installed it to far forward and the body wouldnt fit down over the chassis. so i had to cut out the cowl pannel. it dont look to bad with the hood instlalled i think im just going to leave it the way it is. i dont have any pics yet but ill get them asap sorry for the blurry pics. there from my phone
  9. alrite i fixed the chin around the fuel tank and used a strap instead. i ran the fuel line up to the firewall and put my battery box in. the cage is installed also. im letting thigs set up and dry for a lil bit. ill post pics tomaro after i run the wires from my gauges to the battery. i might run into town and get a distributor at the hobby shop so i can continue on the motor.
  10. I was debating on the gas tank. I mite make a ratchet strap and put it around the tank instead. I agree about the springs also. Ill fix that when I get bk to it. I havnt put this much detail into a car before so its alot of trial and error lol. Ill keep u posted for sure

  12. well since im on vacation i got a lil bit done today. i got some padding on the cage and a gauge cluster with switches and the fuel cell mounted. i even tries to run brake lines, they turned out okay for my first time. if anyone has any imput let me know ill post some pics up im still waiting on wire so i can wire up the gauge pod and run fuel line and battery cables im kinda stuck at this point, i might try to find small mall screws to make new body mounts today also
