seriously sweet jeff. love the look. great craftsmanship.

Thanks for the comments guys and the welcome back, I'll try my best to hang around. That gives me great motivation to keep moving fwd on this one.

Small update, trimmed some of the bottom of frt spoiler and added a flat 1mm thk lip across bottom...needed to do a little something here as the stk length of spoiler almost set on the ground, now it is a scale 3" off ground. That's pretty close to what I was looking for and it will be nicely blended in. I've also started scratching the grill work, albeit different from stock but will be a smoothed and rounded over look to replicate a one pc style nose.

I have still not got the motor type figured out even though I have started the blown beast, I'm realy digging some of the turbo builds and could suit this one.

Mitch P...thanks for noticing the rear wheels, the front halves are from a top fuel kit and back halves were parts box pcs. Fronts were cut right behind center pcs, squared, cut back halves to length I needed, then mated back halves and blended. Both sides of rear wheels have bead locks.

Jeff: That's what I love about this site. Those with so much experience and innovation are ready to help those of us amateur to the hobby. Thanks!!!

Very nice, Jeff!!! I love everything about this build: the chassis, stance, those tires are killer and the body (but then your bodies are typically works of art in themselves)! Can't wait to see more.

Jeff.... I am loving the looks of your cowl hood. And yes you need to stick around for a while. Love seeing your skills at work.

this is a very sick build... enough said

Well, little bit of filling/smoothing here and there and the body is close to being wrapped up. I'm trying some white primer for the first time because I cannot find my favorite gray T235 around here anymore. I'll let that primer dry up real good before finishing the bodywork. I've got to fit up some windows and figure out what to do about the motor, I'm wanting to do a turbo....we'll see if time permits. I'm kinda thinking red or orange paint on this one, have even thought of plain ole white with black stripes!

As always, thanks for looking in and commenting!

[Mack_Mechanic]

Very sharp!I think the white with black stripes would be a killer paint scheme.

[hOLMS]

Hello all...been a while yet again, last post on this one almost a year ago, was waiting on the white primer to dry, LOL.

Anyways, finally shot some color to this, Sun Yellow, first time I've painted in color in at least 6 years. It's not perfect, some slight blemishes here and there, will touch up a bit. I will probably be adding some stripes after this cures for couple weeks. Thanks for looking in.

[am73grand]

That looks awesome!!! Love the yellow!!!

[DynoMight]

Are there going to be black stripes? I looked through the whole thread and your work is amazing!

[tyrone]

Looks terrific Jeff....!!!!!

[futurattraction]

Wow, Jeff! That looks super! I'm glad to see you back. Don't be gone so long next time...

[Mooneyzs]

Jeff.... this is looking great. Love you work my friend. I would say that the primer was probably dry and nice and hard by now....lol Its great to see you back building. I can't wait to see more of the Chevelle Pro Mod you were working on. You should jump in with a 1/16th scale build too
