okies...here's a few more progress pix;
got the roof pieced back together


i cut this much out of the door plus one more like piece that took flight

and after i glued everthing back together i had this

and that's pretty much what i had in mind   and now to try and remember those measurements for the other side and see if i can find the rest of the front clip.

YOU are well on your way. . . . now get the TD Vette out and start hacking. . . . TOM WILL LOVE THIS when done! ! ! ! ! It would be a great honor to him! You have one sick mind and I LIKE it! Great work and thought process!

thanks for the input guys

alrighty gentlemen, we have a couple more progress pix here...first the driver's side hadta be kut up and and i attempted to make it match the other side.

it's not perfect but it'll do. so then the 2 halves were glued together with palstruct "bondene". much filler styrene was needed and applied, in addition to much bracing underneath




and the next pix should be after round one of putty and primer

[knarf]

howdy y'all. i know i said primer and paint would be next but i decided to do the front clip for this as well in just in case i ever do finish this "practice" build. what i would really like is for y'all to weigh in with some opinions plz.
i think the front clip needs to be extended just a wee bit(maybe 1/8-1/4 inch or so)

what do y'all think??

[barten]

Yes extended and curved a little too! ! ! ! ! This is sssssssssoooooooooo COOL!

barten...i like the way you think and thanks for the kind words

[knarf]

alrighty...it's update time again.

spent a "minute" fillin in the hole where the hood needed to be although i'm not sure why cuz it'll be 95% gone when i cut for the engine

now we need a chassis plate...this should work

it's the top from an old dvd player and all my glues work on it
i cut it too size

me thinks i-spy a problem

a few cuts not quite thru and problem solved


and since i wasn't happy with the original "supercharger" i scratched up a new one. and since i lost the air scoop already i found a better one


and here's the current mock-up justin case anyone's interested. oh yeah...mage a bigger,wider and better shaped tire for the back

[knarf]

okie doke folks...update time
first some shots of the understructure that was made out of the top of an old dvd player



rearend and headlights

grille area

engine mock-up and the one header so far


blower drive pulley

final display stance and 2 front wheel choices...opinions please

[TooOld]

Lookin' good !
Tough call on the front tires . . . I like the smaller ones better because they match the size of the fender openings . If you use the larger tires you really should open up the fenders to match .

[knarf]

ahhhh, good eye on the wheelwells! i hadn't even noticed that.  thank you
