Junior73 Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Started on the rear wheel wells tonight. Ended up going with a mini-tub style, as recreating the factory curve was too complicated to try, and this way I can stuff bigger tires under there. Didn't have any styrene thin enough to flex, so I figured I'd use aluminum like the real deal..... Edited February 20, 2008 by Junior73
Junior73 Posted January 20, 2008 Author Posted January 20, 2008 Not too much progress. Got the rear squared away so the frame extends where it needs to. Spent the past few nights geting the fenders to mate with the cahssis and started fixing the lump of a firewall that came in the kit...
Junior73 Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 Got a bit more work done to the firewall. Hope to have it all workied out this wekend to my liking. Started to do wome work on the interior. Now I just need to decide if I want to go with the factory seats or a custom set.

I personaly think the engine compartment looks good too.If your going for the daily driver look, I think the stock seats with shoulder harness would look ok but thats my own opinion, either way it's looking good,GREAT JOB!

Junior73 Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 Thanks George! It's coming along slowly. Managed to get the core support sttarted today, and thanks to go out to Roadkill2525 for hooking me up with the hemi!
Junior73 Posted February 2, 2008 Author Posted February 2, 2008 Sprayed Dupli-color white on the Bee..and then hit it with there clear. Who would have thought that would turn it beige ... At least it's close enough to a factory color that I might live with it. I don't want to send it to the purple pond and lose all the body work I did in the engine bay....
Junior73 Posted February 3, 2008 Author Posted February 3, 2008 Started getting the motor sorted out.....does anyone know where the heater hoses hook up to????
Junior73 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 Well, the parts kit came in that I scrounged the wheels from, and the dana came in this week too. Here is a mock up of the final stance. Hopefull, the decals will get here this week and I can get this one under glass in a week or so.
RJWood Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Looking good in white. I'm doing the 70' Super bee pro street version. worked on the interior last night. Hope to spray the body today. Going with dark mica blue on the body. my interior is a dark battleship blue/gray color, I like using military colors on interiors for something different. Hope to see yours finished soon. Keep up the good work, its looking great. Ron
evilone Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 see coke is good for something lol keep up the good work bro
Junior73 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 Well, Murphy has struck. Thought I had it going good with the decals showing up this weekend. Well, I managed to mess those up, lose the rear bumper, and since I didn't paint the hood with the rest of the body, it doens't match. Off to Modelhaus for a new bumper. This 'Bee is gonna be the death of me...
