Here is what I have so far, the frame/chassis/engine,Driveline etc is very close to finished, just a few little things to touch up. I scratch built or modified a lot of stuff like Fuel delivery system, steering linkages and arms, parts of front suspension, throttle linkage's, Rear Brake lines, engine breather tubes etc. Being out of my comfort zone I made sure to get a new pair of High Magnification Reading glasses , Hopefully I will be able to start on the body now, the Interior tin is gonna be a challenge.  The frame is an Old funnycar which I had previously canabalised for spare parts, I shortened it to fit under the Dart Body, The engine is from a badly damaged Die cast given to me by a freind at work many years ago, I stripped the engine down, painted and detailed it. Just wanted to build a Very Tough Dart Funnycar so I hav'nt yet given much thought as to what Class or Category this one would best fit into, I'll figure that out as it gets closer to being finished  Anyway I hope you like it so far .........Ian         |

A great start Ian.
Reminds me of a 21st century version , of the Charlie Allen SaddleBack Dodge F/c of the 70s.
Can't wait to see this project completed. Nice work so far....

Rick, Duane, Dave,
Many thanks guys Glad you like this one so far.
Rick I've decided to make this one a Tribute car and Charlie Allen is a hot favorite
for the livery, Also Ramchargers Maybe, thanks for kind words.
Wayne This one started out to be a "QUICK" Build ? Looks like I've blown that Idea
out the window, still it's been fun so far, Thanks mate TTYL
.........Ian
