I've wanted to build this for a while but every time I looked at the old resin body I picked up in a trade a couple years ago, I just tossed it back in the box. I used one before in my Curt Hansen build and it wasn't too bad but this one had more holes in it than swiss cheese, was warped, and was overall quite a mess. I've got probably 10 hours in just trying to get the body workable and after a little more work on it, I should be able to start hacking and reshaping it a little to better reflect the Gregory Cutlass.
The 180-degree headers are pretty funky and I had to fabricate a cove into the firewall in order to get the left bank tubes around back and into the interior. I doubt that any were ever done this way in real life but that's okay, it's plastic and it's a hobby!
The main cage work is done enough for me to have a good solid resting point for the body.
I have a long way to go on the body but at least now I've got a basic shell to work with that's reasonably straight with most all of the holes filled.
This one will take a while but if I can get it anywhere near where I "see" it in my head, it'll be a reasonable tribute to Don Gregory's famous and fast Olds Cutlass.
