Im going to build an old school , early 90s pro mod. Its a kit based build that will only have nitrous and fuel lines and a few other details. So this what I have so far. The body has been painted Testors Ruby red metal flake over flat black. Its been BMF'd around the window frames then decaled and cleared. I decided to do this one because Ive never seen to many of these built and its kind of a rare kit. I will post more as I get more completed. I have started on the chassis and motor and will have more pictures soon....... and yes I know its a ford. LOL! This 1:1 car was for sale on ebay a few weeks ago, but didnt sell. Even though its a Ford, i have admired this car for a long time, and wanted to build it.
Enjoy. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180367852648&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&salenotsupported

The chassis bottom painted titanium and the fuel and brake lines picked out with a silver paint pen. The roll cage will be gloss black.

some really nice detail painting you did
really brings it to life
and you have some really good progress on the build
also man that's cheap for a car like that
l don't think you could build the motor for that much

Thanks guys, and yes that car is easily worth four times that. It never ran much here. On a trial run Norm blew a left rear tire in the timing lights. It destroyed the body. He had it rebuilt but never ran it much after that. If I had won the lottery here, you can bet it would have been mine. Cool

Thanks guys,
Progress is slow on this one, got a little sidetracked. I hope to get back on it in a week or so.
