64SS350 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Not too bad to do, I have a tool from my slot car fabricating days that let's me bend them easily. Just getting in the groove of using it, material tolerances, movement, etc. Yes, that's shrink tubing. Thanks for looking!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64SS350 Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Finally got some progress to show. Chassis at pre-assembly stage, headers, oil filters, and some resin work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STYRENE-SURFER Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Looking good Karl. Headers are fantastic. Realy nice to see these old "odd" drag racers come to life in styrene. I'm a fanatic for different, unusual drag cars from back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64SS350 Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Haven't gotten a lot done, tedious body work. Thinning body, front clips, firewalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64SS350 Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) No quarantine for me.... working 58 hrs a week since it all started. Getting back into it, smoothing interiors and front clips, constructing firewalls, roll cages. Edited July 7, 2020 by 64SS350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Here are the interiors minus steering wheels and harnesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransAmMike Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I'm late looking at this cool thread. Karl, I'm trying to make the front suspension like yours on this Stude. You said you scratch built (which I'm trying to do for my 57 Cevvy Gasser) and I wonder if you can tell mw how you did the ends of the leaf springs??

64SS350 Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 I used round stock and drilled the center. Used liquid glue, let set and then coated with thin CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazz Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I've been following this build since I joined the forum. Impressive work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransAmMike Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Yep, just after asking that thought came to mind but I was thinking tubing. As we speak I'm working on the springs. Thanks for answering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Forgot to add pics of finished interiors, dropped in both small blocks tonight. Will work on plumbing intakes tomorrow... hopefully! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Well, finally have a progress report. Still working a lot of hours, plus ....life. These resins require a lot of work to get them in good shape. I have the front clips about 99% ready. Started filling in original firewall/inner fender areas. Oh, and my big fingers broke out another vent pillar, hence the tape on both cars now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 A great project Karl as I've seen the Flyer quite awhile back at an event in Ohio if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64SS350 Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Managed a little bench time here and there. Fixed all window pillars, some more body work, made and replaced rear trim again, as this is common on all three bodies. Also finished other firewall.
