New project. Nasty LX notch oct 12 almost there!

[freakshow12]

Thanks guys. Got the last clear on the body and now I'm clearing my 69 bee off the bench and full tilt on this

Hi Fred, this one is coming along nice. I had to take a day or two break away from my Mini Cooper build so I could work on getting a new clutch in my 1:1 MG Midget. But I hope to be back to work on it in a day or two. Did you ever get your 69 Bee done?

[freakshow12]

Hey Jim, clutch just wear out? I have still been sick but am kicking it now. The bee will be under glass today

[microwheel]

Yeah, it was getting the dreaded throw out bearing rattle. So it was time to do something about it. Bad part about the Midgets is the engine has to be pulled to get to the clutch.

[freakshow12]

Paint is polished out and tonight is the task of masking trim. Yay. Pics of that tonight

Well, I have an update. Likely the toughest and scariest part of the build was doing this to freshly polished calypso green

[freakshow12]

I guess now it's a late 91 car with this color and the black trim. Door handles will be done later. Outside pics tmo but I think it's shaping up nice

[slusher]

Trim looks great Fred, nice crisp lines..

[Johnny1973]

Very nice job on the trim.

[wayne swayze]

I had reservations on the black trim, but now I see it on...it looks really good! Keep up the fine work.

[microwheel]

It's looking good Fred, I know what ya mean about masking off to paint trim on a freshly polished body. It's scary when you've screwed up a few that way lol.

[webestang]

Looks fantastic!

I myself prefer the trim black cause like you I own 2 1:1 Fox Pony's, a 85 and a 88, and their trim is black.

[JTalmage]

That is a thing of beauty!!!

[Jaguar man 21]

Great detail, I wish I built my drag foxbody in the same color

[66belair]

I didn't like that color when it was new but it has grown on me over the years. Nice work,can't wait to see more

[w451973]

Looks great. Love the color choice.

[freakshow12]

Thanks everyone. Working on the cage tonight and hopefully some pictures soon

[freakshow12]

Got a bit more done. Here are outside pics of what stance will be

[freakshow12]

Also did a cage. You guys that do that all the time are AMAZING!! I've got tons to learn. I started with .62 rod but that went poorly. I switched to .62 solid solder I had here and it bends so nice. I pinned it all and all straight pieces are styrene rod

[wayne swayze]

GREAT STANCE!! Looking real good!

[1 bad55 stan]

So cool Fred,that cage looks good ,the stance is perfect,but that color is premo!

[Johnny1973]

Nice job on the roll cage,The wheel stance looks good as well.

[Roncla]

This is shaping up to be one tuff LX.

[Byron5150]

Looking very sharp, nice color! Those drag slicks would look more real if they were a little more flat looking (color wise) in a appearance. Other than the pics make it look real.

[freakshow12]

Thanks guys. It should be a sweet combo with the gt500 engine and 6 speed with a few speed parts. The tires will be toned down a little when I get that far. The soft resin they are cast in really catches the light.
