Blown caddy A coupe

that get your attention huh huh sorry couldn't resist. Resin body, AMT 32 ? chassis I think (outta ma parts box). Blown caddy from the ole 59 Elcam, blue streak slicks, Halibrands from a Polar lights funny and some old dragster wires up front all out of my parts boxes. Gonna be pretty channeled as pics to follow show. Caddy headers didnt want to play ball for the pics but Im sure ya'll get the general idea




not to good at this hot roddy stuff, so its leaning more to the drag rod side

That looks pretty bitch'n man......should turn out sweet with the direction it's going.

Your a sick puppy fella! That will look awsome.
and yes, it did get my attention!!

Looks like you got the hot roddy thing sorted out to me, cool.

that is one wicked coupe in the making

Methinks those twisted pipes reveal the true nature of this car.

Looking bloody hot mate!

COOL

Agree with the others........bitchin

Thanks guys , finally got a bit of bench time in, mostly looking and thinkin how the hell am I gonna do that 55 Chevy pickup dropped front end with scratched bars,scratched and (still needing some modding) bomber seats and cushions. Cut out the stock exhaust so replaced whole floor (ribbed on the underside an all) and made up some engine and trans crossmember mounts





so as it sits its at the perfect height , just need to make up some shock mounts and mount the radiator and I can start painting it

Thats way cool.....

True mate, that does sit PERFECT!! Got a hint on colour?

that look's wicked

thanks guys , delved into the parts box and styrene supplies before I went to the paint stand today,with front shocks and radiator coming from one and the top shock mount/ headlight mounts coming from the other





paint is a green nail polish over coarse aluminum DuPont

Koool. It looks like a cat ready to pounce on some poor unsuspecting prey. Now where are those headers at?

Nice, that's a perfect colour.

Thanks guys, headers cant/wont go on till everything else is finished, otherwise I'll be knocking them off every two minutes. Got some front brakes, a side mirror, tail lights and the glass done since my last update. Work is progressing on the dash, then it's radiator hoses, headlight lenses and rear brakes, then I'll start on the headers. Its a bit lower since the initial mockups so they might have to be modified a bit to fit, if that doesnt work I'll make some out of solder. Cheers for following along as well as the comments

Way cool colour slammer, awsome!!

So at this rate, you'll be finished tomorrow!
Is a nice colour, perfect for this build. Are you gunna paint the vinyl top black?

thanks guys, appreciate it. Now next question should I leave the pipes staggered or cut them down to the same length ?



Joe, no had thought about it but will leave as is for now

Staggered I think.

staggered will look evil!
