    Please stand up, please stand up........

    So this is where it is at this point. I've busted my**** the last couple of weeks and this is how far I got. I wanted it to be more complete for the Pile up, but a few set backs held me back....

    I'm pretty proud of it anyway.

    For those who don't know this car is based on one of the new "Rat Boy" kits from Speedway..... It comes complete with a rule book.

    This is what the kit looked like when it arrived in mid January. The over all quality was really nice and everything seemed to fit well.

    This is how it looked after pre****embly and is basicly how it was as of 3 1/2 weeks ago.

    The kit supplied valve covers really make the sbc look like a Nailhead. Intake supplied by the "Intake Fairy" (RADSHIT RULES!)

    The speedway guys really know how to build a frame.

    So off to the Pile Up it is.
    It will be painted and put on the road in the next few weeks.

    Also, I made Plexi templates for glass tonight so the cardboard is gone.

    I'm pretty excited about this car, but I need a nap.

    Thanks fellas, I can't wait to drive it! Still lot's to do though..........

    The rear tires are NOS vintage cheaters they are in awsome shape as far as cracks, but they are HARD as a rock. I had to put them in front of the torpedo heater to soften them enough to mount.

    Very cool Bob, A lot of nice choices on the trim pieces, very Art Deco, and the shifter handle rules. You have good taste, Nice Job.

    I'm in love. Friggin awesome. Glad to see such a sweet design on it's way to being painted and polished. "Unfinished" cars are cool enough, but painted frames and wheels and some chrome are cooler...
