« on: November 10, 2017, 01:07:14 PM »
not so much of a wip,more like an exersize.It's been sitting on my bench for a couple weeks so I cut the sides off and slab sided it and then narrowed it.just fits over a kit frame

 :)  Pat, I find those " just something to do " cars usually turn out to be not only fun, but also some of our most pleasing  builds.

Dang Pat...that body looks GREAT. What chassis are thinking about? Dirt or Asphalt? It's kinda screaming Asphalt to me...

I agree, Gary!!!  Looks like an asphalt modified to me also.  Pat, don't take me too seriously because I tent to think out loud and it's not my build (obviously)...i would imagine you're already formulating a plan and I'm excited to see what you do with it!!!  Nice bodywork, by the way!!!
