Thanks for the compliments folks. It's been some time since I've been able to do an update. My computer went waaaay south on me and I had to buy a new one. It was loaded with Windows 10, and Man...I had to learn all the idiosyncrasies ( had to look that word up...spell check didn't even come close..LOL).
Here is an update: The chassis is ALMOST complete. Still have to finish with the fuel cell and mount it in plus run the fuel line to the fuel log on the carb. Front end is done. the rear is complete along with the brake lines from the master cylinder. I still have to make the Racing harness and mount the seat in after they are made. The first coat of the first color will be shot on in a day or so. It's starting to look like a finished car. Here are a few pics for a look see....
The front with the poseable steering...
Rear end with the Brake plumbing...
Filters on Carb and valve cover. The Spring and throttle linkage are added here too...
The other side to see fuel log..and interior work.....
There's still a few things to finish but it's starting to give that let's fire it up feel. Thanks for looking in folks....

Thanks guys. I'm working on the body trying to get it ready for paint. It needed more putty than I thought. It's been wet sanded and now waiting for it to dry. I'll try and shoot the final primer coat tonight...

Thanks Brizzz....
The chassis is a roller now and in these mock up pics...the cage isn't in. I'm still adjusting the front body height..and I think I like it where it's at now. All body work is finished and it's ready for color. I still have to run the fuel line from tank to carb. That will be done when when I mount the engine in permanently. That should be today... Here's a few pics to see the stance... Thanks for looking in folks......

Thank you Nate....I'm going to paint it a two tone green. Sassy grass and Hunter. I've got the trunk and nose painted Hunter green and the hood is shot with the Sassy Grass. I'll tape it off and shoot the hunter on it here in a few minutes. The body will also be shot with the Sassy Grass this morning. I thought that the bright Sassy Grass might conflict with the white Nerf bars but I think it will work...We'll see when I get it painted...Keep the toes crossed

Well...here's an update sooner than I thought I could get done. This is not finished yet but you can see the paint scheme that was applied. The racing harness and the dash still need to be added to the interior to finish that area. Here are a few pics of the body paint. Numbers, sponsors, nerf bars and trunk lid still have to be added. Thanks for looking in....

WOW! That came out AMAZING!!! just my .02 im looking at the color combo and I love it but what about a thin silver line between the 2 colors? Might really make them both pop. Like I said just my .02. But either way I still LOVE this build!!!

Thanks Brizio....it's getting there....WOW! That came out AMAZING!!! just my .02 im looking at the color combo and I love it but what about a thin silver line between the 2 colors? Might really make them both pop. Like I said just my .02. But either way I still LOVE this build!!! I added a thin WHITE stripe on the hood and looked at it. It looked pretty good but way to busy or showy for a Dirt Modified. Most Modified's that ran two tone paint scheme's didn't run a separation line. But...I was thinking the same way as you were... There will be more white on the body before this is finished. The #'s and sponsors will be ALL in white...Thanks for the input though....

The chassis is finished. I've also started on the Decals on the body. Hopefully I will get that finished this weekend or sooner. Here are a few pics of the finished chassis....
Thanks for looking in folks...
