Sweet as, another 55 Chevy in the mix :dance:

Mike - that looks fantastic so far! I hope mine comes out half that nice!

This was a productive weekend for me, finally got the opportunity to get some paint on my Sportsman Showdown entry.





The purple turned out awesome, I wanted to get a crazy color down and this is it!.

The body mounts are not set yet but looking to do the offset like Harry has shown in his excellent examples. Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and helpful suggestions on the Chassis and guide setup, I am hooked on the brass builds. Now to find out how she will go!

Oh yeah, nicely covered. Keep it up, you will be done in no time :)

Great looking build!

looking good, we are going to have a large field to drive

Looking good and I like the colour scheme

Lookin' good!

I really like that color combination.

Well almost done, got 3 layers of clearcoat for all that banging around. :)



Finally installed my NY Modified inserts, these things are great! Very little work to get them installed.



I had to have a sponsor, so thanks to 'ACE' for the $20.00. I only hope I won't need a tow. :D

Seems to be a driver, it may have a little more 'brakes' than I thought, but that may be an advantage, who knows.

Interior is almost ready to mount, I have to install the windshield and driver, then she will be ready to send off.
Hopefully I will be done this weekend, and off to Harry's on Monday fingers crossed.

Lookin' good sir!

Looks perfect!!!!

So the scramble is over, for me at least. Car done and will by zipping out of the depths of my man cave onto the Showdown.


Crew scrambled and hustled to get the finishing touches on the car....







Quote from owner: "I'm amazed the team were able to pile this hunk of junk.. I mean fine race car together so quickly!"













Team owner's shocked expression that the car got done at all.....
Maybe if he spent less time rockin' out to music and actually managed the team, then we would not have been in this position! :music-rockout:

I hope you guys have fun racing her, I had a hoot building her.

So they 'USPS' said they can't guarantee it will be there for Fridaybut would make it Saturday. So there's a chance I'm going to miss out on qualifying. Oh well, don't wait till the last minute. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
