I just can't seem to finish a project without starting another. It's in the early stages and I'm starting with the ZZ Top body and had planned on using the frame but my previously owned kit is without one. I'll have to figure out what to do and may just make one. Here's a picture of the one that inspired me although I'm not building a replica of this. I do like the faded red color with all of the chrome and black.

Here's the early start. Front wheels and tires are still uncertain and it will definitely have an early hemi.

Thanks Dumpy. I got another kit from a friend and it looks like the only thing I can use the frame for is a pattern to make a new one. It has the muffler, exhaust pipe and battery molded in. A fabbed one will look better anyway.

This is a great theme Brad,  thought about this one myself.  I have a resin chopped 32 Ford stowed away.  I've had a look at this setup before, I think even the frame from the one you're finishing up will fit without much work.  Just an idea.

The ZZ Top frame is kind of a mess with lots of sink marks and the molded in battery box and muffler with exhaust pipe. Be quite a bit of work to make it acceptable so I would rather make a new one. I think it'll be stronger too.
