 Ok this is the rod i like so much it,s a shame there is a little to no reference off this rod. So the little i found should do the trick(if anybody here knows more refs youwill make me glad ;D ) What i did is i made a small drawing hoping it all will work out.  I have put a model next to it for size it will be 1/24. Ok thats it for now till tomorrow Gr Dirk |

Ok i started with the engine (i think it,s a 350 Chevy) so i got one from my sparebox.  This is a dryfit to see how everything works. The poulies are aluminum.  Also the gearbox i had to make it myself because the engine is mounted sideways. I used a gearbox from a Toyota MR2 (red piece) and a piece from a normaal Chevy gearbox (bleu). Well thats it for now till next time Gr Dirk |

So today did some building, Worked at the engine and made a part of the body ;D  gearbox fit also made a Weber carb will explain this later.  Put the blowerbelt and the fanbelt on  And starting off with the body (or should i say face )  Used some soup spoons to make it a ball figure. Now lets work on the tube frame. Till next time.

Hello, So today did some building on the tubeframe. First i made a new plan so i now what i'm doing.  The red is the tire.  Working on the tubeframe put it on the drawing see off it fit.  I also made the intake (i think  ) first draw it on a piece of paper.  Then copied it on a piece of styreen.  And he presto.  I put the parts to see if the scale was right and if it will fit when the time is there. Ok guy's and girls, See you next time. Gr Dirk |

Did some working at the Tubeframe.  I used the drawing as a template.  The biggest problem was to get it all straight (i like the wheels to touch road ;D)  Well here it is allmost ready, i have to put some mounts for the wheels, and engine ect, then clean and sand it and paint it. Till the next time. Gr Dirk |

Little update, Did some work on the engine mounts  The red arrow's shows where the engine will be mounted the green arrow shows the mounting for the gearbox.   This is how it looks.  The bleu drawing shows the top framei still have to make. Ok thats it for now Gr Dirk |

I always thought the real one would be fun to replicate. You are doing a great job!!! Thanks for bringing us along.
I googled around a bit and could only find one other pic - a profile.

Always loved the headers and exhaust pipes on that lil rod. I read that the body was created from several truck mud-guards welded together....  |
