Started this a long time ago on the other board. Have since rethought everything and made some adjustments. Building time has been scarce this summer, but I've made some small progress including a new cage, and finally figured out what I was doing with the front bumper. Scratch built the rear stub, and added a Ron Coon Resin quick change. Starting to gain a little steam on this thing!

This is looking killer as it sits Tom! It's great watching you do a wip. Looking forward to the next update...

Love the attention to detail when it comes to the main hoop bar gusseting!  Super nice detail that's simple but adds so much realism.  Nice work so far man!

Looking great so far Tom, this is going to be a very nice replica. I'll keep an eye on this build.

Got busy on the chassis and front nerf bar. Filled door handles, and got fuel cell figured out. Tired of it sitting on my bench...so I cheated and robbed an AMT stockcar to finish the cage sides. Not pretty up close, but it will have a black interior as the original so I think it will pass. Starting to see a tiny bit of light at the end of the tunnel!

Looking good Tom.

The stance looks dead on, decal sheet looks good, as I said previously it's going to be a perfect replica.
