Man Dave...All of them will be cool builds.. Here's a small update on the midget..All the heavy fab work is complete. The sparkplug holes still need to be drilled in the head. The temp sensor needs to be added to the back of the head also...(Almost forgot about that :...Here are a few pics of the car with all the stuff mocked up. Can't put the gages in the panel but you can get the feel with what's there....This car will be in primer/putty tomorrow and paint by the end of the week. At least that's the plan.... ;D

I'm lovin' it, man this thing is coming together so very nicely. I'm looking forward to the OSSM show, can you believe we're only 4 weeks out from that event?
Be glad to be home from Chicago, so I can get some bench time.

Thank you Brizio....Well...I think I told an un-truth.. . I said that this puppy would go into primer and putty soon(like yesterday : but...I"ve been looking at the BARE area that a chassis should be in..... actually I've been doing that right from the start of this build. Also have been pondering on if I really wanted to put the bars in as they probably wouldn't be seen that much. Well...I couldn't do it...I had to put a chassis of some sort in this car. I've finished it and NOW....I can drill the holes in the head(haven't done that yet) for the plugs and maybe get it into primer tomorrow. Alot of this will be coverd up but...I know that it's there. The bars in the cockpit will be very visible and that will work. Here are a few pics....

It will look great Gary, we will all know the framework is there because you built it. You dont overlook many details on anything you build, so we all know they are there, even if we cant see them. I think it will be an awesome build.

When I build anything I try to make it as real as I can. I think 50% of the details are hidden when you get all done. It's that feeling of accomplishment that makes it all worth while.

Love this kind of works!!! Unfortunately, like said, mostly of the time it is not possible see the details on some build... You can try to paint it in a different color, so it will show up better.

As we all know...this DID NOT make it to the OSSM show. Just to much small things to finish. But here's a look at the finished paint. The decals where put on tonight along with the windshield and rivits and seat cover snaps. I should be able to finish this week. Then it's the 49 and the Truck and trailer for the midget...whew!!! waaay to many things going on here... ;D
