Looks cool so far! It would be cool if you could build some custom headers that exit the original holes in the body. ;D

Looks good! Like the spoiler behind the front wheels a bunch! Where is the engine going to set up housekeeping, where the kit put it or up front?

Engine is gonna go up front, I am trying to build a twin supercharged Hemi. Hope you laugh about this, but the whole reason I started chopping this thing up in the first place, was I could'nt stand how this car was " backwards " (driver in front, engine in body ) To me It's like those pictures, you know " Whats wrong with this picture? !!" !! but it's the theme of the car !! Anyway, I could'nt leave it that way. I Actually planned to run the pipes through the body, like suggested, but I realized it was more of a plumbing nightmare than I could deal with. Thanks ! for kind comments ! More pics soon -AL

Twin 'Charged Hemi Set-up, looks rough I know, but for now it's just a mock-up. I think I kinda got it figured out though...

Looks pretty good to me, I like the ideler pully in the middle and using the Funny Car block adds much needed detail the Stinger engine lacks, along with it's non center-crank to tranny issues...

OK you guys, that's very Kool that you dug this out of the pile !! Thanks- Scott !! -and to answer the question Gerry, I was working on it & moving right along with it, "Until" The Red Baron re-issue arrived !! Then I got interested in that, because everybody was doing RB's, and I came up with some Kool Ideas for the RB, ( but then ) I got this "Fast Buck" -and I was building it -to give to a lady who collects "Piggy Banks", -but now I've gone astray from that, and last night I was looking at possibly building a model of a "sailing ship" to give to this guy I know who was in the Navy... ... ...
Long story !! I'm Sorry !! ...LOL When it comes to models, I'm like a 4 yr old with severe A.D.D. ! ! ! My mind goes in 47 different directions at once !!
I've got so many things & projects going on all at once, ...but I'm so happy you guys dug this up, because It's a needed kick in the A$$ !! I'm gonna do some work on it now, & try post a pic or two very soon.... Thanks- you guys for checking out my build !! -AL

I like the shorty look on this kit too, but I kinda thought it would look even cooler as a front engine street rod......ya know like in a rad T-Bucket style rod! Gonna be nice no matter the final result!

Thanks for the positive comment Charles, It seemed like this car could become something Kool, ...but only if I could get out of my own way, -and do some work on-it !!!
