[moonlite5hadow]

yes, but who is winning in horsepower? im thinkin my TT Ford Racing 427cid will give a boost....

This what I've got done so far....like always had a booboo broke the body where i cant fix it so i found another one i painted it last nite.

Chassis plate is now painted. I solve it the easy way and paint it flat black. That looks enough like undercoating so that nobody's going to argue too much!

I'll be doing the detail painting tomorrow after the paint dries.

keep in mind the hose is that way because of the non dodge radiator.

The more I look at it, the more I like the color on that Challenger

Is it still possible to get in on this? I haven't built anything in 'Loooonggg' time!

Most likely would try for a 69 el Camino, Maybe get me motivated to do something on the 1:1

They were sold in that color. Code L5. Butterscotch is Dodge's name for that color, Plymouth's name is Bahama Yellow.

Here's one;

Bruno;

Where did you get that picture, I think that's the Wagner's Classic Cars that's about 3 miles from my house! I almost remember that one being there!

[moonlite5hadow]

i havent done any work since entering this build (life, building, repairing, and racing the 1:1, school, and job hunting has side tracked me, along with two custom v-12 engines i'm working on are getting in the way! haha)

here is how my Camaro/Ford hybrid currently sits, except for a bigger front mount intercooler.

This is the old intercooler. new one is about twice as tall, same width. also going to re-pipe the turbos as i have the exhaust inlet and outles swapped from the traditional way.

These are the old wheels. current ones, and permanent ones, are the torq thrust pictured above.

that all depend on how quick you build

ill ad you to the list

Small bit of progress to report.

The front suspension is now attached and clamped to the chassis plate to promote holding. The front suspension member seems to have been slightly sprung, so it wasn't holding or going in right.

I also noted that while test-fitting parts, it seems that simply painting the parts caused tolerances to go out of whack, as did my pre-assembly of the suspension parts front and rear. Such things not withstanding, it will go together nicely I think.

So heres my first update, i dont have the body work photos, they got deleted and its already in its paint

These are the only photos i have right now, but ill add some more later.

Those blue marks are for a small "z" i had to do on the frame.

In that one you can see some little creature comforts i swapped over from a c5 'vette, power steering,a bigger front sway bar,and a ls1 motor mount

All of that coinsides with this....

you can actually see the body in its final coat of paint, just have to clear it now

How's a '68 Barracuda with...

-Flat Red w/ flat black scoops

-Blower from a 454 stacked on top of the 383

-Big Rake

-Street Tires

-A touch of rust

-Long tube headers

-Roll Bar

-5-point harnesses

-Edelbrock valve covers

-Sweet side pipes with Cherry Bobs

Yup, it's going to be a classic, East Coast-style 70's street racer!

Am I in?

[CAL]

okay, here is my entry.

[Corvette.Jeff]

okay, here is my entry.

that would be pretty cool to see built,especially wiht a big engine and some big ol' slicks but the rules say it has to be american, and last time i checked renault was french.

It's American-French, it lives in America. and oozes testosterone all by itself, and I will just putty the back doors closed.

oh alright.

How bout a Swedish home built aeroplane?

I thought a Camaro "a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs", anyways.

Back to the drawing board.

Progress.....

This is actually a resto-mod of a really botched completion for 2004 when I was 13...

[charlie8575]

The primary engine assembly on the GTO is now painted. I've also painted all the sub-assemblies, and once the paint completely dries tomorrow, my goal is to have the engine assembled and in-place tomorrow evening, with completion of the chassis following.
