Mark, this build is taking a life of its own. You are doing some masterful work.
When I win the Powerball I will switch to the real ones.

Thank you, Rick. I am glad it is finally coming together. Just hope I can figure out how to use acrylic latex paint in an airbrush. It's all a matter of getting the paint thinned down enough to flow but not flow too much. I guess it will be trial an error on an old spare body.

All I lack in finishing the chassis is installing the tire/wheel assembly's and the windshield supports and a general touchup of the whole chassis. Then I can finally paint the body, install the glass and decals and I will be finished with this build after a year and a half of trying.

I'm looking forward to seeing the completed race car!

Thanks, Steve. You and me both my friend. It's been a long time coming but it's supposed to warm up and stop raining next week, so I should be able to get the body painted. I bought a gram scale to measure the paint to get just the right 50/50 mix of paint and thinner in the airbrush cup.
