53 Stude Modified 9-29-2017 Slight Update
« on: September 07, 2017, 03:13:17 PM »
Got the underpinnings mostly done to the point that I need them for now.

Patterned the rear wheel openings and filled them in with superglue and microballoons.


Determined setback on the body and cut new rear wheel well rough-ins.


Next I will shorten the greenhouse to pull the body front back to the firewall and then we'll bob the tail.

Years ago these old Study's were the bomb for late model racing. If you opened up the oil returns in the heads, lightened the flywheel, and put a big four barrel on it, it would run with the big dogs.
 Very nice build, for somebody from Arkansas. Or, anywhere actually. Just have to gouge you a little, because my mom's clan all come from Arkansas.

Looking good David. In my opinion the shorter tail makes it look much better, more like a modified.

This is on its way to be an awesome build. I definitely like the shorter rear myself. I have no imagination for something of this magnitude. You KILL it !!

I thought that big butt looked pretty good, however it does have a better aesthetic with the shorter hiney.  Great job.
