AMT Christine

Trying something a little different. I stripped the chrome, going to paint it all flat black. I cut the chassis to fit large drag tires. I painted the body seafoam green.

Looking good!! 

I have Christine in my stash, and going with a drag build as well, will be watching!

I like the concept, there's something about a 5000 lbs car hauling down the strip that's just cool to me. What's the plan for the drivetrain?

Not sure yet, I have a 426 hemi I may try to shoehorn in.

The big hemi would fit the bill. Gonna pay attention to this one. I like that color, there's a guy on YouTube with one in the same color, an old diesel taxi. Check out "perky" at dead dodge garage.

I was exaggerating a bit, but honestly expected it to be a little heavier. Kinda surprised by that.

Those old cars don't weigh as much as they seem to.. My dad was floored when he learned what his 4 door sedan '57 Bel Air weighed when it was being restored several years ago..
