On my bench, you name it.....**Drift Build Update too**

[Len Geisler]

Well, it has been quite some time since I have posted an work from the bench, and longer for anything to have been finished. So today, I finally shot some new updated pics of my current projects and figured I'd share them all in on post so here goes....

First up is my "Cyber Grey" 2009 Corvette Z06

Kinda hard to tell in the pic, but ifya ask me, it is close enough for a Swiss Naval project....LOL

really liking the way this one is looking....BTW, didnt someone make a dry sump oil resivor for this guy????

Now on to my drift build, I decided that the build off needed more "American Muscle", so I am building an 04 Z06...

Originally, I was going to do this as a curbside, but we al know how these things change..So I whipped up a single hoop roll bar,

and robbed a seat from a Silvia kit I have had way too long...So far, everything fits ok....I think....LOL

Here you can see where I removed the "Corvette" license plate holder spot to make room to see the "Ram Air"

set up I am working on. took two resin filters that I cast and molded them together to make one wide on to fill the

void so to speak..

So back to the whole curbside build issue, I picked up a resin and PE tuner wing (along with some

Dzus fasteners, a couple billet mufflers, and some Eduard PE seat belts so much for a quick crubside build huh)

from MCG that I was going to use on this bad boy. Once I tried it on, I realized I didn't like it and used the

wing from the Polar Lights GTO Drift Car. I think this one rocks...

Next up is my Don Schumacher "Aero" Vega build...this one has been in the "staging lanes for way too long, and

the other night I grabbed it and started working on it again. Had to open the roof hole for the "clear window", also

had to modify the nose piece by removing the bumper to have an accurate body.

SOme day this guy will get finished.....I hope....LOL...

Finally on to the Mustang I am building, this is the first "real" commissioned build I have taken on, I

have done a couple in the past but for little money and they were quickies. We agreed on a good price for me

so I have taken the time and paitence required to build a stand out model....

The engine....

The deal was out of box, with minimum amount of added detail items. SO lots of shades of paint ahd washes

have been used to this point...

Here are some shots of the chassis, I used Google and Tim Boyds article in that other ragas a reference for

paint and wash colors.

At this point I am quoite happy with this build, I can only hope the new owner is as happy as I am...

Well folks that is it for this edition of "Whats on the bench at Guy's Hot Rod Shop"

As always, questions, comments and even critiques are alwasy welcome here.....

Len, were you looking for a reservoir like this? I had this one for the Z06 turned at work, I need to get it cast. It's a full length design based on the research I was able to turn up. Alot of the ones that I've seen are only deep enough to get the effect not prototypically correct.

If you want I might be able to get Brad (our lathe guru) to turn another one or I'll find someone to cast it and get you a copy.
