It is coming along. The temperature in my garage is about 29 degrees right now. So I am having to go back and forth for warmth. Chassis is done. Don't have any brass tubing yet, but I feel in about an hour I will have everything ready to start stripping paint. I will still need to do interior so while it is in the alcohol bath I will start chopping up the tray. Just thought everyone would like to know. Yeah right! Thanks for the encouragement Dungeonracer, Bibbster, and especially Harry for all the tips.







I will take any and all advice! Thanks for looking!

Oh and if we get a snow day tomorrow I am starting on the 43 car next.

Looks like your project is coming along fine. I've been working on a project X-Bow for a month now, and it's delayed again waiting on a pinion gear. Oh well I have others I can work on, and I need to get a couple of reamers as I broke my .094". :)

This is looking good. I am glad Bibbster made this oval. It has allowed you to get in touch with your inner "redneck" and show these great cars some love.

I'll shoot you a pic of my interior to show you where I cut, I can't post it here because it is quite unattractive. I'll get it to you tomorrow if you can wait :)

Not a problem Harry. I have another snow day tomorrow! I stole a set of wheels off another car. It should be finished tomorrow except paint.

This is just before the alcohol bath! I am really enjoying doing this and I have a feeling many more will follow! 8-)
