That's right, this is the only project that I've been working on. I've been hoarding stuff for a couple years and decided it would be cool (and just might work) so I started opening bags (yes I said opening packages of parts, sorry guys it took me years to cut them open if that makes you feel any better) and bolting stuff up. I still have some little things to work out and a few odds and ends to find but it's mostly there now. Waddaya think!

NICE

its not to bad erich! wow dude

Just have to source a slightly shorter belt, some bits for the hydrodrive and would like to find a RPM front bulkhead

if you get an rpm front bulkhead, you won't have anywhere to attach the brace for the upper deck.

nice build you got going.

Oh ya that's right! See one thing off the list!

Very nice!!!
Litespeed heatsink too I see....sweet.
@ what year would this have been ran?

I'd say with how fragile that 4-10 kit is... never! LOL

Hahaha....
What I mean is....some of the parts are newer than what I'm familiar with, so I was just curious if this was being built with a certain car in mind or time period....
Either way...it looks FANTASTIC!

WOW - That's like three awesome cars all in one

The parts are all from the very early 90s except the turnbuckles which I'll probably swap out once I find some nice ones, just wanted to get the car mocked up a little bit. I wouldn't consider it a period car since it really is sort of three cars in one, I just wanted to put together a car that is made up of the cars that everyone is looking for.

So I actually started this car a couple years ago and with my life altering events of the past year and a half it sort of got curbed. I'm happy to see it finally coming together, sort of symbolizes me getting back on my feet for me in a way. It feels really good to be getting back into my hobby... means my life is finally settling down a little bit again. Thanks guys for all your comments, I'll be sure and post more pics as the build continues!

Nice project Erik, and good to see you feel well again! There's always light after the tunnel. I would appreciate bigger and less shady pictures here, especially from the front end. I guess it's very very tight there? Did you have to modify/cut the front end of the top deck? Why is the belt so long?

Very neat car! How are you going to tie the top deck to the front bulkhead? Custom brace?

That's a sick looking project you got going on there.
