misterNNL Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 You do realize that since you sectioned a V8 engine for this project you now officially qualify for "section eight". That used to be the term used for soldiers who were eligible for a discharge from service for psychological reasons. Before anyone goes all negative on me for mentioning this,I hold all military service personnel In the highest possible regard and this is only a nod to the builder for throwing yet another crazy log on the fire. One more step toward the twilight zone.

DrKerry Posted March 28, 2019 Author Posted March 28, 2019 In white base Do NOT adjust your monitor!! Lol masks before paint! and a quick teaser! What do you think of the color choice???
misterNNL Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Old glory theme is a solid gold choice. Go for it.

DrKerry Posted March 29, 2019 Author Posted March 29, 2019 So far, what do you think, add the other colored star stickers? Or leave it as is? I may leave it as is!!

DrKerry Posted April 1, 2019 Author Posted April 1, 2019 WELL!!!! As of this weekend it was red white and blue!! Shot the clear over it and the blue crazed under the clear...... So now it's a bird of a different color!!! It's green!! Body section is mostly done, engine is almost done, just bent the tubes for the turbo's today! Thank you to Rick Chupa for the supplied turbos!! They look awesome on top of this power house... So the question is!! Do you want to see the progress thus far? Or should I tease you all and make you wait for the finished build?? HMMMMmmmm???????
DrKerry Posted April 2, 2019 Author Posted April 2, 2019 Ok! Here it is so far!! Didn’t have time to work on it tonight. Taking it to work to cut windows tomorrow. Side shot back end with exhaust, body release pins and push bar Paying homage to my club Kustom Kemp’s in Miniature! Being built to look like a one piece funny car styled body, hinged in front with release pins/handles in back. engine shots will be later!!
Kit Basher Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 Wow! I thought it looked good in "Old Glory", I think it looks even better in green!
gotnitro? Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 Imo it looks much better in green So cool how ya blended all the body lines very smooth
