I started this one yesterday....so far I have chopped up the front suspension so it sits low, and got the frame painted. I will have some pics tomorrow night once I have alittle more to show. Heres the kit I am using for this build... and hopefully in the end it will look similiar to this one here. ....stay tuned for some progress pics! Ron

Cool project! I have one of my own on the bench right now too. Always like seeing others doing a kit I am working on or am planning to. Keeps the creative juices flowin'! Are you keeping the doors functional? Your 1:1 reference makes me want to vegetate.....

Man, that's lookin' farkin awesome so far! Good job with the front suspension. The leaf set looks natural. It looks like you added to the drop axle to get a bit more drop.... maybe it's just the new spring making seem that way. Keep the updates coming!

Thanks guys...since I have the 9" under the rear..I decided to go with a Chevy small block V8, from the parts box. I have the old "short" style "Chevrolet" inscribed valve covers for it too..so it should look great under the hood. This kit came with a flat head 4 cyl....I want to have alittle more horses than that...Stay tuned. I am going to paint the body and the engine block the same color this weekend.... Ron

Heres a small update...I was about to get booted off the first page. LOL. I picked a color and bought it today..but I will keep it under wraps for a few days...maybe I can get some painting done this week...until then though, heres the undercarriage after I sprayed the flat black paint on it...stay tuned for more.
