1962 Cutlass gasser

[wrenchr]

This is an old project I started about 4 years ago and I stalled out making the rear floor pans and I got back on it this weekend and made good progress. AMT corvette is the frame and middle floor pans, took 2. Thanks ollies!! I need to add a few more body mounts and I already installed down tubes in the front chassis just no pics. I used a amt ford falcon gasser for the rear wheel tubs and front cross member for the suspension.

That's going to be a Bad looking 62 Cutlass Gasser.  Looking good so far.

Thanks everyone,

My biggest issue is seeing a project through. I just spent a little time wet sanding the floor boards. I still need to figure of the engine before I can get the frame in any kind of paint, ideas? I was thinking the hemi from the miss deal kit? I know I have one somewhere

I looked through my stash and realized I have about 8 LA Dart kits so that will be the Hemi I use, the torque flight molded to it leaves much to be desired and I have a torque flight from a turbine car parts kit that will graft to the bell housing. I will update pics later, I know I'm going to need to open up the firewall to get the engine back.

Some pics. Progress.

Great looking fabrication so far, keep it up! It's always a pleasure to see an uncommon kit being built into something different, so a big thumbs up because of that, too.

As a Rambler guy, I really like the Rambler Gasser as well.

I went a little wild last night with drive shaft loops and bracing.

The center of the frame I used round styrene.  

I'm mocking up the front suspension next then the chassis will be painted. The rear traction bars I had inspiration from the Ford Thunderbolt. 

The interior needs a roll bar then I can paint that and I'm building the engine in between the mods on the chassis.
