Little bigger than I expected

Engine done

That's looking extremely nice, not a speck of dirt on it, the Edelbrock sticker is a perfect finishing touch.

So I abandoned the gasser idea.. it was getting far too clumsy, heavy, bulky and lacking detail of a realistic model or even an rc car for that matter.
Feeling defeated I kicked around building a pro street style car with massive rear tires but it’s still not what I want... for now it’s going in the rafters till I find some motivation.

Oh no I'm sure you'll get your motivation back after a few 'long thinks' about the project. It might take weeks, months, or a couple of years. Whatever you do, hang on to that body because they're not making any more of them, as far as I know.

Some of you probably saw this contraption on eBay...

Front fender well openings are horribly out of scale so that will need some work. Widened the front suspension 2”. Lengthened frame 3”... going to need a ton of work but moving a lot faster than the original gasser idea.

Fast forward to today I got bored, grabbed some parts and built a rolling grand national chassis, grabbed the body and started chopping it up.... yeah I like where this is going... not sure if anyone will ever see this ... .
