This is going to be cool. You have a great start already. How is the resin body? It looks pretty good.

Hi Gang, I'm starting with the hard part first, got the intake made and installed, got dist. wired and in, tranny and belhousing installed and painted    I just seen that the intake isn't straight so I will correct that, going to make the injectors and tubes, install exh.plates and make the headers next then start on the frame. NachoZ, the body is real good, the only thing I've found is the door and hatch lines are not deep enough for them to stand out but that is easy to correct. Thanks for looking and comments are always welcome. John |

I think you are doing an awesome job on this build. I am really enjoying following along. The subject is great as is the workmanship. The only problem I see is there aren't enough updates.  |

Hi Gang, got some mock up pictures for ya Frt. wheel's and engine  chassis on all 4's  and with the body on  I think the stance is real close, have to do a mod to the frame, eng. is too far forward so will move the firewall and mounts back. More updates soon. Thanks for looking and comments are always welcome. John |
