60 STARLINER

[brett]

A STARLINER!!! IN THE DRAG SECTION ?????? yep its that time again, when the dremel comes out to play, I think y'all should have a pretty good idea where this is heading.

the wheelbase is pro mod class legal from stock, I just had to narrow it down through the center a little

[W-409]

This is very cool! Big and good looking Early 60's Car turns out into Pro Sportsman? Pro Mod? Drag Racer. What will be the correct category for this? Great job, looks like the chassis needs some extension.

[Mister Twister]

After your recent builds Brett I'm anxious to see what kind of paint scheme you come up with for this build....Keep at it!

[slusher]

Very cool. nice ldea for a drag car..

[Dr. Cranky]

You are on a hacksaw roll, Brett. Very cool. And I don't think this has ever been done.

[hemi]

This should be very kool,I love the 60 ford and I love drag cars so its a win win for me.Not to take away from the ford but How about a couple of shots of that van in the back ground,I love vans.

[rmvw guy]

Can't wait to see it at your local 1/25 scale dragstrip. You ARE on a ROLL with these things!

[brett]

Thanks guys, havent done much, lost a great local modeller and friend the other night so have been a bit distracted. Aiming for a top sportsman class build and paint will be two tone, hoping to get back into it at the weekend.

[Bartster]

Sorry for your loss. l will be watching with great interest! hope you get back to the bench soon. Bart.

[PARTSMARTY]

SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF SOMEBODY SO CLOSE.WHAT A GREAT PROJECT IDEA.CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE.

[brett]

Thanks guys, progress has been very slow as my mum had a heart attack a last weekend and is living with us now. Got started by lengthening the floor pan from cutting up another top sportsman kit floor though the remaining pieces are the perfect length for the next doorslammer project. Started scratching up my own cage/ chassis as the kit ones are too short to be used in the longer starliner cabin .

not real happy with how the cage has turned out so far so may make a brass one anyway. once its been tidied up and primed after the next few bars are added I'll decide then. this will be a nitrous car so will have the big scoop rather than my preferred supercharger

[cobraman]
