Hi, all.

I’ve been away from the computer but have been working to finish up my kit and it’s about ready for that place where models go to live or die - the paint shop - so here’s where I am.

The size of the motor seemed to dominate the build as things started to come together. I built a reinforcing superstructure for the front end and had to do it over several times to get every thing to fit together in this tiny car. Headers were a challenge and I tried scratch building them with a heat gun but gave up and found a good set in a sportsman class Chevy kit on the shelf at the LHS. With the roll cage set in place, it’s hard to tell but the transmission cover is honeycomb PE and the gauges are, too. One of the fit issues came from the radiator and I had to relocate it several times. Once I got it to co-operate with the engine I would drop on the hood and it would say “Nope…” and out would come the nippers. If you look close, it’s a bit messy in there. The black panels under the drivers compartment are air dams.

The body got a Pro Stock resin hood scoop and rear wing with some scratch built wind guides. It’s all ready for primer today. I have a paint scheme in mind that I haven’t done before, so I’ve been trying it out on a Mustang body and I think it will turn out pretty good. Time will tell.

See you all soon.
