XR-6 (glue bomb restoration) Update 1/18/17

[Snake45]

Very cool project! I never realized I wanted one of these until I saw yours. Will have to keep my eyes open for a rebuildable, affordable glue bomb. Drive on!

An update - engine is in, headers on, radiator in, brakes on, wiring & hoses. Made a pair of gas tanks for the rear. Added a battery.

Last good look before the rest of the bodywork starts to go on.

That is great detail on the rear of the chassis! I realize that the body is nearly done with paint, yet it would be great to have the trunk panel removable to view your work. I still have my original that I built when it came out, all the parts are in a box, so one day perhaps... your build is great inspiration.

Cheers Misha

Thanks for your comments. I was going to save it for the next update, but I have in fact made the trunk panel hinged and removeable.

Inching towards completion! Body is on and engine compartment and interior are finished.

Coming along nicely Steve.  I like your saw horses too.

It's done! "Under Glass" tomorrow.

Wow! There sure is a bit of history behind this project. I shouldn't talk, I had one build that took me about a decade to complete.

I sure am glad I found it though, it was great seeing the progression of your work. I'll be sure to look for it in the Under Glass section.
