[CorvairJim]

Jim more than 3 times huh LMAO, what happens when you scoop up the first roadkill?

HD wipers man .

MIchael

Hmmm... Roadkill, huh? I guess I'd better reinforce the airdam and put a nice strong screen on the radiator intake!

[hvymtl]

Naw just make shure you have a nice edge on that splitter.

that way you won't miss any good bits of the varmit.

also in a related note Jim, i was discussing racing setups with a customer

and he would do what you are building was my response.

i will have an update this weekend with pics .

You know what they say, Michael... "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT"!!!

(I'll be sure to save you a plate of barbecue'd "Squirrel Split on a Spit" for when you arrive. It's sure to be very well done by then, even if I have trouble firing up the grill!)

More and More BodyWork. Today I was able to spray another coat of primer, to see that it isn't ready for paint yet. Looks good from long distance, but when looking closer, it's not that good yet.

I've been thinking of buying Spray Filler for this build Never tried it, but others have used it and they say that it's good stuff. Well let's see.

I am entering my 1969 mach 1 mustang.

I got the main color on but still nedd to paint the grapics and clear it.

heres the body.

I have a few suprises that im going to put in this car more to come.

[FatManScaleDesigns]

Decided with all these nice rides if I wanted to come in first I better build something light, corners well and can hook up... so I decided to push the power out of this courier... ride is just mocked up for ride height, the back end will have more of a rake but here's what I'm thinking!! thoughts?

[Nick Winter]

Great stuff so far Guys.

Nick

[dyl_w@comcast.net]

I got alot done on the mustang i should finish it tommorow or the next day.

I finished the chasis

I finished the engine its wired and ready

I added the strip and cleared the body

My favorite part the interior i just need to finish hinging the seat and scratch make some valves for the nos.the seat will completly conceal all that extra power.

[hvymtl]

Looks great there Dylan you will need that N2O to keep up with some of these guys

especially that corvair right Jim ?

this my lil update for the race the car is in next to last coat of primer the spot putty took a lil longer to cure.and the pass door will be finished .

Michael

[Nick Winter]

Holy, that should move, Part 2 of the Firebird will be started pretty soon.

[Nick Winter]

We sadly are nearing the end of this Build, As much as I would have liked to have built a second more race styled vehicle I don't think I'll be squeezing one out, I'll Post a group Underglass on Jan 1st at some point.

Nick

[W-409]

I'm still trying to get my Camaro done, there's a lot of body work to do still. If everything goes well, I should have it painted soon and finished in time.

[wrecker388]

Nick are you gonna be hosting this next year? I would like to join if you are.( I know about the "Cannonball Run" that you will be hosting, so I didn't know if this one would still take place)

[Nick Winter]

Niko, glad your still around.

I'm not sure Yet Riley, I'll have to think on it and then Make an announcement either yes or no.

Nick

Well from the pics i have paint on the beast started out as hemi orange then we took some Boyds orange pearl and laid that on then to the first coat of clear. first coat was 380S laquer gotta find my 2k clearand spray that on . more tomorrow.

michael

[hvymtl]

Well the time has come and time has gone by and the daytona was thissss close, Life happens and good intentions with some 2k clear and some sanding and buffing lead to a trunk lid needing repainted . and I felt that to walk away was better but getting bck to it the guys in the dyno room blew up the dohc hemi and the viper engine so we got nowhere fast . so now is time to re-engineer the front suspension and get it done . Sorry i didnt make the start will be waiting for the finish

Michael

[W-409]

Hey guys, are you already in Long Beach, has the race even started or are you somewhere between the start and Finish lines? So this means that I haven't seen the vote, did I miss it or if I didn't, what was the result?

My Camaro is Finally BLACK! I thought that it was smooth enough and decided to shoot some color on it. Hopefully I can clear coat it tomorrow to make it shine.

[W-409]

Today I got some clear on the body. It looks pretty good now, well it of course needs polishing, but otherwise I like it. Now I will let it dry maybe a Week or so, and then start the polishing process. I might work on the details that time.

[W-409]

I got the Camaro polished this Morning. It looks pretty good I guess. Still needs to polish the Hood and paint window trims Flat Black, paint body from down side and then put the glasses in. My goal is to have the body and chassis together Tomorrow.

[W-409]

I painted the Window Trims Flat Black and body from downside is Flat Black too. Then I installed the Windows, put few License Plates to the interior so they can be changed during the Rally so Polices will be having hard time finding this car. Then I put the Interior and Body together. Now I need to add few parts and minor details, then body and chassis together and the Final update before Under Glass.

[W-409]

The Final Update before Under Glass. I got the body and chassis together, they fit nicely and needed just a little glue. The Grille is installed, too. Now there is left only few parts, like the Mirrors, Door Handles, Register Plate, a few Wires and then it's done. Hood is polished now, too.
