Have been very busy with life in general and less time at the bench but not out of the hubby. Here is what I am working on. It is a replica of the Nostalgia Drag Racing P/S Colt.

The owner of the real car Bob Mayerle reach me to make him a model of his race car. So far this is where I am. Using spare parts and aftermarket pieces I think this can be done.

Nice start. 

are you going to dress the motor up a bit to look like a Dodge Wedge? Maybe at least put the distributor in the front?

Your build looks like you got the look nailed.  GREAT job!!

I heard these Colts were absolute terrors to drive.  Very unpredictable, but what would you expect with that short of a wheelbase and stupid amounts of power?  Great topic, I look forward to seeing the finished result!

I built a 76 street colt with a 440 dual quad set up and lenko 5 speed linkage sold the car 2 weeks after breaking it in WILD DOESN'T describe this little car a 318 would make it go quick 440 made it an insane pro street. 

1999 the last time i  drove it a camaro challenged me went shoulder to shoulder when it broke loose next day it was up for sale. 

Sold it then went stock car racing on the roundy round and road courses. 

Neat build you have going on.

Looking very good so far.Also if you want a set of those older style Silver unpolished Centerline wheels, that I always liked,try the Rickie Smith T Bird P/S.They are perfect looking.
