If I started a thread on this , I can not find it but here goes. Here we go with the latest. I got the chassis painted and the body is near complete with paint. It is Italian Red but looks orange in the pics. Moving forward.    Mike |

Very cool!
Looking real good too.
I have always loved the Meyers Manx buggies. Can't wait to see this drag version when you are finished.
Got a couple of these kits and been itching to get started doing something with one of them.

Tried to work on headers yesterday and spent 3 hours on them and threw them all away. I will have to come up with a better idea. Tried Brass rod then copper wire and now will likely try styrene.

I am now thinking of thinner copper wire than I had and solder all four together then try to bend them ,if that fails I will likely try styrene as it is easy to work with and can be bent if you stick it in boiling water for a minute or so.
Thanks Guys , Mike

Thanks so much Guys , Rider , I did go with solder this AM and a piece of Aluminum tubing I stretched into a cone with a hammer and an awl and some WD40. I really like the result and the look I was trying to get. Needs touching up and tweaking yet but it is there.    Mike |

Never seen another one built this way, but maybe that's just why I like this so much. Excellent work overall. Engine detailing looks great and especially that exhaust pipe is my favorite part. Thanks for sharing.
