firebird didn't seem aggresive enough for this hence the rename. I'm using a magnuson supercharged Ls and the smaller set of wheels. for the mockup i'm using a larger set of wheels so it should be pretty low. I'm having to move the engine back almost 10mm so i can shut the hood and the wheel tubs in the bay will be getting new tops to get the front low. since the tubs are getting redone i'll use the stock hood to cover the radiator and fans. the body kit is from c1 and fits the 1/24 revell kit. I'll be using a pair of ferrari seats as they have very similar trim to the firebird

Cheers guys, finished my shift tonigh so hoping to get primer on tomorrow so i can get the chassis lined up. I got the rear arches a little forward of where they should be but a 4 link rear should fix that and be more suited than pram suspension

Well its been cold and icy since i got off the boat, so because electricity is expensive i'm not opening the windows to spray. Hopefully it doesn't last too long as i need to get the body all together before i do the chassis

Although, i should not spout off, it's apparently summer here, and still 16 degrees C ,and rain every day. No, we got 3 days last week over 20.. maybe that was summer.  |

It used to be like that but this global warming thing has made it cold and icy 3 months then it rains. 16c is about where i like it, anything over 20 and i burn |

Looking good Les should be a monster when it's done ! It's bad enough here in London but usually worse up in Scotland...  But I think we should feel sorry for poor DeeCee, suffering in that 20° Sun  |
