Looks like your Jig really makes a difference on getting the frame true. The detail work is..... well Gary Davis Craftsmanship.

Well....I'm working on this build as the 18th Midget gasses out. I've got the chassis up on all fours and the coilovers mounted on all four corners. The lettering on the wheels is also completed. I put the body on this puppy wth the wheels on and it isn't sitting quite like it should...so I'm working those buggs out. I'm going to re-shoot the body anyway so...making these body adjustments won't be a big thing for the paint. I'll try and have a few update pics soon....

Yes buck...just a little. It's working out ok for both builds. As one thing dries...I can work on the other build....so far so good.I think I got the body thing figured out. When it was put back in the box.....one side( rear..wheel wells) either GREW or SHRUNK!!! ;D I had to tear the left flared fender out and make it taller. It was an (scale) inch short. Got that out and new one in today and will putty and shape it tomorrow. Will try and repaint thur. I'm also going to make the stripe alot wider. here's a few pics for a look see....

Well...here's a little something on the Merc. Got the fender fixed and primed up. Will probably re-shoot the body next week. Trying to get the midget finished.

Looks great with those fender! Are you keeping the same paint scheme?

I didn't think they fixed these things when they were damaged. Just pull the metal away from the tire. Put some more paint on with a roller and go back racing.

LOL....some folks back in the 50s and 60s...maybe 70s ...did that...usually the 1 man operations with NO sponsors. This is an Asphalt car so they usually stay on top of the body work. The Dirt guys are a different story.
