Al Gibson's Funny Car #3 Moch-Up
Finishing up the frame and started moch-up for the engine placement. I am going to use an engine plate instead of the normal engine mount from the bottom. This car will have a 54cc Solo with a skellenger quick change rear end. I have to thank Tom at Santee welding here in Southern California. He is an amazing welder and he even puts up with all my "changes"!!
If anyone knows where i can get a 90cc or 110 cc Solo engine please let me know.

No, i got a partial chassis from e-bay, and have been working on it for a while now. The tires and wheels are from the chain car but just for moch-up. I have a set of John Foster tires and wheels when it is ready to go. I needed to check stance and length for the body to see if i need to make any additional changes. Al

I think we talked about this chassis, i believe it to be an unfinished Bob S chassis. I got it and a Solo 52 with zomie headers from e-bay (diamondgirl). It was in rough shape, needed to have welds cleaned up and i have been slowly adding to this chassis, mounting tabs, rear placement and now engine mounts. It's a fun project so far. Got to learn to weld!!!

Re: Al Gibson's Funny Car #3 Moch-Up
Just roughed out the windows and wheel holes. My first time to work with fiberglass, it was a little bit of a chore. Once i get this straight, i will make the window templates and drill the holes for the bolts.

Hey Al.
Did you leave enough of a lip to mount the windows? It looks real close.

Yes i think you are right. Looks like i will need some tabs on the inside to mount the windows. First time problems.
