well i've pretty well got the chassis. i got the exhaust mocked up and the pipes are drying. they are straight pipes. with Stock Car side exits, coming out right in front of the rear wheels. the motor is mounted. there is a lot of front suspension missing simply because it wouldn't fit
 and i didn't want to hack it up and re fab it all. im so ready to have this one done. im having trouble with the paint. it keeps fogging up cause of the air outside. all that is left is to get the interior done. the nitrous tanks and plumb the lines for it. not sure what im going to do for the intake yet. there isn't much hood clearance. well here is a pick of the underside of the chassis with the exhaust mocked in place let me know what you think.

well. after having hacked up the interior tub. im thinking i might have to order a new one from revell. im not having a whole lot of luck mocking the styrene up to fill the gaps and make it look good. plus i dont think i am ready to tackle such a big scratch building effort. i am staying way too busy with school and work. im gonna fiddle with it through the weekend. if it dont get much better. im gonna go back to the full tub and re attach the doors with some styrene.

Re: custom c5 vette
i havn't worked on this in a while. i think im going to reatach the doors. i dont think im skilled enough to tackel the hinges right now. im going to try to hinge the trunk tho. hopefully i'll have a little time tomorrow to get the interior mostly done, and it will be nice enough to get a couple good coats on the body so i can get that finished and the doors back on. then pretty much all that will be left is deciding how to do the intake and mount and plumb the nitrous

Re: custom c5 vette

well i got the last coat of paint on. now all i got to do is let it cure and then polish it out. it is one of my best if not my best paint job to date. here is a pic. the paint layed so smooth. not going to require a ton of effort in the rubbing/polishing area.
