This has been stalled a couple of times. I decided to cut the kit front end off and splice in a NASCAR front stub. Then went with a 3D printed big block.

I had a tough time finding headers and went through my printed stash. I was able to find something to work with.

The body is close to done. I had to make the rear shocks over... I have a habit of losing parts. I have a couple of radiator choices but lost the radiator wall plus my roll cage tubing from the firewall forward. 

I have to add a picture of the headers. I just shot some paint on them.

A couple of crappy shots of the headers. These are from 3D Designs. I cut the flanges off them, the spacing was off for my engine. I made new ones from .030 X. 125 Evergreen stock. 

The whole header fiasco was getting something to clear the upper control arms. A true fenderwell header would have been the answer

I am up to re-making the front bars and getting the radiator mounted up. The engine will sit higher to get the headers to clear the control arms. I wish I could find true fenderwell headers. I almost made some from solder... except I can't find my spool of solder...
