Hi Gang, Been working on this off and on for a while and got it off the back burner to finish . Here we go Kit box art
Got the frame all cleaned up and started to put together using the bottom body panel to keep it straight
after that dryed I put the front axle mount in ( took me 3 tries to get it level )
then I started on the engine, kit comes with a hemi giving-thumbs-down-smiley-emoticon so I put a Ford 427 SOHC in it's place high-five-smiley-emoticon Got the block together, cut the starter motor and the tranny/bellhousing of to but the in/out box in
got some more together, painted and put the intake with injector stack's on
Got the body ready for paint and did a mock up on the frame with the SOHC sitting in place
Will up date soon, Photo bucket is acting up again

This is looking very cool doing some great work and I really like the 427 SOHC choice over the Hemi , I'll be watching this for sure  |
