geemoney Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 use the engine out of the revel-mono prostock 56 ford? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Here is a photo of the first go around with the putty and sanding. Not too bad for only the first application but another couple of rounds will be needed to get it to where I want it. Then I will have to work on the chassis so I can determine where to put the holes for the engine and roll bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 Made some headway on this thing. Body ready to be cut out for rollcage and engine. Then it will be on to paint. I need to finish the chassis so I know where to cut. I had to shorten the frame as well as move the front spindles back about a 1/4 of an inch or so.

cobraman Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Hi guys. I have the chassis just about finished and the body marked for cut outs. Hopefully my cuts will be in the correct place. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 I made the engine opening a bit too big I think but will live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Thanks guys. Should be shootin' some paint later today or tomorrow. I have not yet decided what color I will use but most likely whatever I have handy in the garage. Might be green, might be purple who knows ? : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Ok, I shot some color. Not my favorite color really but I had a lot of it so......... Body was decaled but still needs to be cleared. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipstitch Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 That is VERY cool... I remember many years ago seeing a sketch pad in Scale Auto of a '59 Chevy Elcamino being done in a similar way. I like it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
