here's a couple update shots for your viewing pleasure decided i didn't like the shape the front end was taking  so i did this  and ended up with this when i promptly dropped it   but i glued it back together with the superglue n baking soda trick  and this is where we're at now  and started on some rear springs. i'm using some metal roof flashing i picked somewhere, because i'm intending for this to balance on the rear tires  enjoy  |

got a little more done on this one. got some spring perches on the rearend(which is from a monogram monster truck)  made some rear springs   added some details to the blower   and have gotten enough putty/sanding don for this to actually start to look like a t-bird again  enjoy  |

got just a couple pix tonite, been doin lots and lots of work to the body in order to re-aquire some semblance of symmetry. i've learned that i need to make better measurements and more careful cuts next time because there's ALOT of superglue and baking soda in this one started on some front tires in the "Trosley" style.   enjoy |

ok fellers, got some update pix for your viewing pleasure, been making some s l o w progress and jumping between different areas of the build. as yet still undecided on paint and still no brave souls willing to drive. started on a representation of an oil pan  and the finished piece where it will go  want to somewhat replicate this front suspension, it's the kit piece from the bodies i'm using  started on the crossmember  and the finished piece where it will go   and started on some front rims  here's a front tire w/rim inserted  enjoy |

thank you Sir here's a couple of updates on this...made a driver's seat  found a sucker to pilot this beast and started fitting him to his seat  i had all sorts of issues with the plan for my front suspension so i opted for simplicity and made a straight axle  for those who might be curious about the scale of this, the guy is 1/25 and the girl is 1/24  here's the driver posed beside before i hacked him up to fit the seat and proper piloting position  and a mock-up of what i'm shooting for as far as stance  enjoy |
