futurattraction Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Thanks Bill. I'm looking forward to getting back down to KC and seeing you! Thank you, so much, Ron. If I don't drop it again and cause another setback, I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out so far. Lost too much sleep last night thinking about how to attach the tin in the front end, make a wing for the deck lid, mount the PE trans tunnel so it's removable, finish the grille, and how to proceed with cutting out/finishing/hinging the door(s). No wonder I'm sleepy today... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurattraction Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hey Tyrone. I agree. I think the wheel screws will add to the overall effect. Bill - Do not drop; do not drop; do not drop - Now I just hope repeating that mantra works! LOL I appreciate it, Larry... Thanks Brad!

Mister Twister Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Scott....I don't know what to say....Your attention to detail is just unbelievable...In this scale or any scale..GOOD STUFF!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatGuy Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Looking great Scott. The PE template for wheel screws is a good idea. Try not to lose any more sleep. Just one thing at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurattraction Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks for your kind words, Bill. Lord willing, we'll be at Heartland. That's the plan... Thank you, so much, Roy! I appreciate your encouragement, Darryl. YOU do such nice work, so it means a lot. I've done better the last few nights not dwelling on this when I should have been asleep. I think trying to get ready for the KC show has worn me out and kept me from getting my mind so wrapped up with this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jade043 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 So much detail! I can't wait to see this finished awesome work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbuzzed Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 That is really looking nice and the little details are starting to add up. I gotta follow this build. One question- will you be substituting anything for the lug nuts molded on the wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurattraction Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks Aaron. It's slowly getting there. Lots and lots to do... I appreciate your encouraging comments, John. Your question about lug nut detail in the wheels is a great one. You know, I've been so wrapped up in all the other aspects of this build that the lug nuts had totally escaped my attention. Given everything else I've done, it would be sort of silly of me to gloss over those - so - yes, I will do something about them. That, then, begs the question, do I want to add wheel studs to the brakes. Not sure I'm going to delve into it quite that deeply, but you never know... LOL Thank you, Gabriel. I think it's sort of cool, too...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurattraction Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 Thanks Brian! I am very happy with the way it sets. If I can get it to set on the suspension to match where it's at, I'll be a happy camper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a fun time today at the show. I wish there were more opportunities to do shows close® to home. It's a blast talking to guys and getting feedback and suggestions.

futurattraction Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Time for a small update. I started work on getting the seat mounted and pretty much finished prepping that tonight. I was also able to lock in the final position of the central frame rail system for the car. That will allow me to start working on the trans mount pretty soon. I started by drilling holes in the tabs I'd added to the central frame rail when I built it. I taped it in place and transferred those holes to the floor and did my best to determine where they'd hit the underside of the molded in seat mount. This series of shots shows the underside of the seat and what everything looks like when stacked together. Not a very clear shot but you get the idea... I discovered I'm going to have to mount the seat after I've installed the roll cage. Nothing like a small challenge. LOL Body, seat and dash mocked up. More to come! Comments welcome.
