Great work Charlie!  You are a very talented machinist and your components are made in a very clever way, I take note!   I can't wait to see the painted body, I really like your choice of color. ?

Another great job Charlie, all your updates are awesome my friend, I love the look of the pedals under the dash, very convincing!  You have a great weekend of drag racing ahead of you... I'm envious! ?

[Tortuga Kustomz]

Excellent job man, the sterring wheel looks amazing on, and the master cylinder is one of the best details i have seen here...

simply amazing craftsmanship. watching you machine these parts is inspiring.

been moving along . making 20 lug nuts is time consuming. i made all the pieces of the steering u-joints. final assembly on the front suspension and noticed it had no shocks. dumb mistake but easy to fix. body is ready for clear . lugs are painted with rustoleum metalic paint. i think it works great. put it together enough just to see it .

At first I thought I was reliving my childhood and watching Batman with Adam West........."KAPOOWW"  was my reaction to the paint on the car.  Love it and boy does it jump at ya'......needless to say I like ALL the details you're throwing at this too Charlie.  Beautiful! cheers, tim

[charlie libby]
