#40 Pete Hamilton Superbird build

[Camoyj]

Started on the body work. Had to make a patch on the lower D/s fender. Also test fitted the new fuel cell.

Looking great! My fenders were junk but I wasn’t paying $1000 for a fender lol.

I feel the same way. I cut up the worst set I had to see how it would work on the car. Now they fit I don't want to cut a nice set.

By just doing it. I've made plenty of mistakes and had to redo lots of stuff.

Added some color to it.

Looks great. Mine will be the same color. What paint did you end up using?

We’re only 3 hours apart. We need to get both together when done. Nascar meets drag race lol

You have come so far, I had to go back to page 1 to see what you started with. Monte Carlo body with an R7 engine?

It's Petty Blue. Limco urethane single stage for everything but the outside of the body. I'm going to base/clear that.

Yeah it started life as a 95 Monte Carlo with a rotted Satellite shell. I got the Nascar less the motor. It may not be a R7 but it sure will look like one when I'm done with it! lol

Closer to putting it back together.

 

[Camoyj]

Coming together. Still lots more to do.

That looks mean

Mocked up a template of the StockCar style front spoiler. We will get it all laid out and make final one out of aluminum.
