cannonballer

i'm gonna post this wip thread here at the request of Iceman and DC.  i must warn that this will likely be one of those long, drawn out builds...at least until Dec 31 which is the due date.   the theme this year is "sleeperball"  build any sleeper you think could win and this is what i come up with.
started with this

first mock-up, didn't like the ride height

that's better

kit supplied chassis, this won't do

that's a little better

now whatever will i do for power??   i know, let's "borrow" an engine from this

oh hell, let's take the rearend too

that seems alittle too long, this is better

a little wide, let's narrow it


that's better.  how's she sit now?  still too high i think

there that's much better


what about engine placement you ask?  like so


here's a couple a different but same mock-up motor



at this point i realized the powertrain was still too long so it moved to the side of the bench to wait for inspiration to strike.  it has struck but other builds have taken precedent.
stay tuned
