Sweet build! That looks epic!

Love the subject and where you’re taking it. Really inspiring seeing the frame process.
 

As a side note how are DDA models to build? I’m waiting for a pair of newly released falcons to come in. Can’t wait

Holden LJ Torana's are my favorite Australian car and I love our over powered burnout cars. So trying build a scale version of how I would build a 1:1 dream car.

DDA kits are enjoyable and easy to build. They are plastic versions of a diecasts, so they are simplified with screw together sub assemblies and some area's are lacking full detail components. But with some extra effort put into detailing they build up into great looking models.

The Interceptor Falcons will be something different for you to build. I cant wait for the black Interceptor coupe versions to be released.

29 days until Summernats.

Steering rack sorted, so front end work done for now.

Will come back to it later and do some modifications to the front of the frame when I start to figure out the radiator location.

 

Next task is to figure out a 4 link suspension for the rear.

Beautiful scratch work on that steering rack!

Bodacious work there Luke.

Is that front suspension operational Luke? The way it’s constructed and pinned, it looks like a working unit. Looks awesome. 👍🏻
