Sam Cates Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 After the first body melted like a black crayon, I snagged the body from the onther Stude I had to finish this build up. Used '99 Camaro seats, intake, wheels and tires from '49 Merc, added plug wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Nice save. The paint scheme, the side pipes, the wheels- just looks perfect on that body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydime Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Good looking Stude. I think it came out great. If I may suggest, it might even look like a cooler sled if you add some skirts in the back as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydime Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Thanks, Harry, for the illustration. Say that does look more sleddish! But I still think it looks slick either way. Edited October 24, 2011 by Skydime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Cates Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 I am actually working on a piar of skirts for it now, I had a pair made up for the first body, but, most of us saw what happened to the first body... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I missed what happened to the first body, Sam, but I've been there, so I understand what you're saying. Great execution on this. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Cates Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 This is the body I started with, had it in primer, set it on the heater so the heat from the pilot light would help the paint dry and my son turned the thermostat up before I woke up the next morning...

Modelmartin Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Looks better without the Skirts. In fact, it looks real good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Cates Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback, I wasn't so sure about this build. Thanks Harry for the photo and inspiration for the skirt style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
