I'm totally amazed that a hunk of scrap like that can be built into a cool show car. is there a specific engine that has to be used for that one? Or is it all custom mounted anyway?
Steve-O, you need to keep a daily or weekly picture update on this baby.

Bill,
I think the Fords leak coolant before they leave the plant..LOL

Joe,
Coach is right.. The track going in the bed is yours. I needed a car to make a fast get away ..:p Let'er hang out the back like a surf board..
And gas tank under seat.. HHmmm On the passenger side maybe..LOL

Tjet,
Already planned out.:thumbsup: This is #2 bucket build. So far Hotrod count builds is around 35.. I love them hotrods..:woohoo:

Sethdaddy,
These are like big slotcars. I have a magic powder I sprinkle on and it grows into a car..:p As for power plant... WWeeLLL... Lets see. I need the power to hiest the MULLET track..LOL and I just kinda have a enough horses in the stable to do just that..Here's a hint: Vintage... Oldsmobile..442W30...:D
The car will mostly be custom built from my parts hording and my camhead buddies leftovers..

I will keep everyone posted on the 1:1 slotcar build as is goes along.
Now where did I put the pedals off that 10 speed...:freak:

Nice start GB!!! Looks like a plan in motion. A good friend always tells me, "plan your work, work your plan". My problem is, I never have a plan, seems there's always changes. I just have ideas, and go with it!!! Keep the pics coming GB. I'm thinking a Bill Hall Special coming, you listening Bill ???
