lanesteele240 Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Im miffed that you can putty your seams so well and i cant. Do you mostly fill with zap a gap or putty.
Ira Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 This is looking absolutly awesome. Thanks Lee!
Ira Posted March 17, 2014 Author Posted March 17, 2014 FROG BELLY PAN! I started the Belly Pan by tracing the shape on a piece of plastic. Then I cut it out. It took a little cutting and fitting to get a perfect fit. I added a strip of plastic on the end to close the gap in the Rear Axle Slot. Then I added a plastic strip on the front inside to support the Belly Pan. More Coming...

Dr. Cranky Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 Geez, I haven't had this much fun reading a thread and watching this one get build in a long time. Thanks for sharing and keep it going, Ira. Cheers, DC
Davewilly Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 nice and clean puzzle you made there Ira! Its coming along nicely!
Ira Posted March 18, 2014 Author Posted March 18, 2014 OK Ira, less replying and more building! The suspense of what this will look like with the suspension hanging off it with some wheels and tires on it is killing me. It's coming along nicely brother. Thanks David! I know, I keep finding more things to do before I can get to the Big Wide Tires and New Wheels...
Ira Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 Im miffed that you can putty your seams so well and i cant. Do you mostly fill with zap a gap or putty. I spend a lot of time fitting the parts together and then sanding the high spots, fitting again, then sanding. I do this to get rid of as many gaps as possible and I only use a small amount of putty...

Ira Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 FRAME RAILS and ARM RESTS! I cut some Evergreen Square Tubing to use as Frame Rails for the Frog. I glued sections of the Tubing in the sides of the Interior and Engine Compartment. The Interior Tubing will also serve as Arm Rests for the Driver. Here is the Under View. I added another section of Tubing behind the seat and between the Frame Rails. More Coming...
Davewilly Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 looking good Ira....I cant wait to see this thing with the wheels on it. Its going to be pretty wild looking!
Ira Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 MUSTANG FROG? I cut the transmission off the Mustang Engine so it would fit in the Engine Compartment. The transmission will be replaced with a transaxle from a Ferrari later. The Engine will mount on top of the Plastic Part that covers the "Axle Slot". I added enough strips of plastic to get the Engine height right. Here is the Engine mock-up. I will probably raise it up just a little bit more later. More Coming...
Ira Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 Geez, I haven't had this much fun reading a thread and watching this one get build in a long time. Thanks for sharing and keep it going, Ira. Cheers, DC Thank You Dr.! So glad you are enjoying the Frog...
