iookin' good!!

Changing the hood "lines" at the cowl?   

[Gary Davis]

Yes Ed...I'm changing that line. I've got a little putty on the fix spots. I sand that down today and apply a second coat this evening. Here's a few in progess work shots... just ignore the guy in the drivers seat...LOL

I've never seen one being built......I'll be watching,looks like fun!

[Gary Davis]

Thanks Patrick...keep checking in...

[Gary Davis]

Here's a progress update. The mounting brackets for the front axle and the shock/nerfbar bar has been fabbed. I still have to do a smidgen of body putty and that will be ready for primer. It's starting to look like the idea I am shooting for. Here's a few pics of the front end...

It sure is coming along nicely. I don't know enough details of sprints or midgets to do one.
Maybe someday....

[Dr. Kerry]

Lookin great!!!!!!

[sentsat71]

Oh yeah.....coming along quite nicely......

[Gary Davis]

Thanks folks for the compliments. Got more done on the rear suspension area. I need to let some of the joints dry overnight so I can sand on them. I still need to build(or I should say FORM..) the single rollbar. That should be in the next few days...I'll post update pics when I get all of that done...

[Gary Davis]

Here's a small update...the nerf bars are in mock up and the roll bar body mounts are setting up for tomorrow...Her's a few pics to look at the progress..







Thanks for stopping by and looking in folks.....

[sentsat71]

lookin' GREAT.....even with just a small update....!

metal rods for front/rear nerf  bars?

[pdaly28]

That is coming along very nicely!!!!!!are the nerfs made of wire and soldered?they look super!

[Gary Davis]

Thanks ED and Pat. Yes...the bars are brass rod and they are soldered. They do come in the kit from OVAL TRACK LEGENDS. The body and the front/rear nerf bars are the only thing that I'm using out of the Troy Ruttman Sprintcar kit.

[Gary Davis]

Here's a progress update....the Roll bar and support has been Fabbed and is in mock up. When the joint dries on the support bar...I'll make the rear shock mounts for both sides. The torsion bar tubes still need to be fabbed and added to the body. Those(both sides) and the side nerf bars will be done then. Here's a few pics to look at. To me it's starting to give off that cool feeling when looking at these bad boys in the pits...ya know?? LOL Thanks for looking in...

Gary,

That sprint car is really coming along nicely. With that kit, you had an awful lot of work to do to make a nice build.
I'm really enjoying watching the progress on this one, I can't wait to see the finished project.
