Got more accomplished on this build. The fenders where flared along with adding an opening trunk lid and squaring off the rear of the body. It looks a little bulky right now but after doing putty work and priming it...the true look will be able to be seen. Here's a few pics for a look see...Thanks for looking in folks....(CLICK ON EACH PIC)...

Thank you Brizio....I think I found the paint I'm going to use on it today. I'll have to do a test shot to make sure.

Got a little more built. The fuel cell was fabbed from styrene shapes and sheet. The Braces where also added to the inside frame rails. The filler tube and fuel line fitting will be added a little later. This is just in mockup now. The cage and ALL the bar work have to be done next. Oh...the rear and front suspension mounts need to be built next... Here are a few pics for a look see..thanks for looking in...(CLICK TO ENLARGE)

Thanks Buck....it's getting there. I'm thinking of changing the upper "A" arms. The mounting brackets on the frame haven't been built yet... so changing them at this point would be easy.

Thank you Brizio....Changing the upper "A" frame tonight.They are a little to thick. The NEW set will have the same shape..just a little thinner... Actually...it's 2" to 1-3/8"...it will be a pretty big difference when it sits on the frame...
