thanks guys. I showed this to my father and he couldn't believe it. Ive now collected some hydraulic front brakes, spindles, bulldog front hubs, a grinder drive (not sure if ill use it but its there if I need it) and a few pairs of 2 piece rear wheels. Should be a good thing when its finished.

Thanks Mike, Im trying to find a 57 body for dad. Hes keen on getting a 57 belair, so a quarter scale one for him would only fuel his desire to buy one.

Caught up with a fellow quarterscaling enthusiast yesterday afternoon. He was amazed at the body as he'd never seen one before in the flesh. Through a set of wheels under it for a few photos

Very nice Jay, always great to see projects in progress of any sort, nothing beats the feeling! A nice candy color would look fantastic or, Yellow or Jet black with traditional flames
Can we see the chassis progress?

Ill be honest Ive done nothing with the chassis. just been keeping an eye out for some of the other major bits that I need, for example a set of wheels, a diff and a few other major parts. Im pretty sure Ive found a diff. Wheels Im still undecided on. If anyone has anything they would consider selling Im open to photos and prices.
