I'm having fun but I'm tired of foam, body work, and fiberglass
- I made windshield mount brackets. The brackets hold the windshield about 1/8 inch above the body. I'll touch the brackets up and drill a couple holes for looks!
- I want the body to come out of the mold and drop, self aligning, onto the frame. For this I glued in what will be the top of the dash and a dash face. I think the dash looks Cobar-ish and could be used. It's mostly there so that the body is stable and strong. I'm planning to cut much of the face away so that the Kellison dash slips in.
- I'm molding in smooth transitions from the dash and the rear bulk head to the sides of the cockpit. My hope is to have a good looking cockpit that doesn't require much work out of the mold.
- I glassed in all of the pieces that I've been working on, including the rear deck.
- Tomorrow I plan to remove the Carbed engine and install an LS engine. I'm hoping that it fits under an uncut hood.
For this build I'm trying to imagine if the Cheetah had continued on and a more civilized, street version was created. I like the look so far. IMO its lean but muscular looking.
