hOLMS Posted January 30, 2013 Author Posted January 30, 2013 Getting closer guys...finally moved the team into the new garage, need to get them boys some tools to finish this ride! Made some pretty good progress over last couple days. Made some interior chassis tins, some interior detail...no pix yet, will work on that. Chassis is painted semi-flat black. I'm using a parts-box rear end, think its from the Pro-Stock Olds. I scratchbuilt the wheelie bars from 1/16" dia aluminum and styrene, mounting points are .032 dia, brass pinned. Rear end is painted. Tires, frt and rear, are close to finished. Thanks for looking!
tyrone Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Looking Awesome Jeff... those slicks turned out great...
Red rocket 10 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Looking real sweet.................................. Leonard
futurattraction Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Looking fantastic, Jeff. I really like your piecing the wheelie bars together with the aluminum tubing. I'm already waiting for updates! LOL
1320wayne Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Excellent progress Jeff. I can't wait until I have an opportunity to try out your tire technique for myself.
pharr7226 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Awesome work Jeff. Great idea and execution on the slicks.
Mooneyzs Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Jeff... WOW bud!! You are killing it Bro. that looks killer sitting in the shop. Very nice work. I can't wait to see what you decide to do on the paint. Gonna Look Killer!!
comp1839 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 that's awesome , jeff. great thinking outside the box on those tires. the body and suspension look incredible.
GoatGuy Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I agree with everyone. The wheelie bars, slicks, and body look great, and the headlight angle trim came out perfect.
hOLMS Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks for the kind comments. I had originally planned to make this a quick, shelf-build with bodywork mods, some interior work and no motor....was saving the blocks for other builds. I've decided to go ahead and drop one in this build, I'm not sure what kind yet. I'm kinda leaning towards blown. I hope to enter my first show in May. I was going with another project that is not started yet, but I think I'm going with this one now. This is no replica...by no means, but I'm enjoying how this is turning out. Been doing chassis work this week.....replaced whole front end with '90s nascar thunderbird unit (glue bomb i picked up for free), brass/styrene pinned frt suspension components, added the batteries, parachute lever/cables. I should be able to finish front suspension and start some brake systems soon, then motor work and other detailing. I included a start and current shot. Thanks for looking!
W-409 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Very nice job with the Camaro so far, especially I like what you did for the Headlights. The rear spoiler looks very nice too. And beautiful Chassis work!
brett Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 awesome body work again Jeff, cars looking real good
hicksie Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Are you planning on attending the mid Atlantic nnl in may?
Mooneyzs Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Jeff... This is just awesome man. That rolling chassis looks great and I think it's awesome you are gonna drop an engine in this one!
futurattraction Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 That's turning out really nice, Jeff. I, too, am glad to see you're going to finish this one out with an engine. It's too cool not to!
hOLMS Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 Thanks for the kind comments, means a lot to me! Been working on front brakes and piecing together the motor off and on this week. She's a beast...well, almost. Brakes and motor have parts from a little bit of everywhere and some scratchbuilding, making the rear motor mount next to finish the initial fitting...then time for detailing. The front of this chassis will be full! Thanks for looking in.
futurattraction Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Super stuff going on here, Jeff. It's looking absolutely killer...
