This is a most interesting conversion. Looks like you have everything well in hand. Brilliant work Bucky! My already high respect for you has risen several more notches with this build.

Bucky,, that's some excellent work going on there. Now was there actually a 1/1 scale vehicle of this or is this just something the original owner was doing.

Rich, the original owner just had the idea pop into his noggin. It's an unusual combination, to say the least! He stalled out on it, and I traded an unbuilt Monogram '59 Chevy Impala kit for it. Maybe I can finish it, if I take my time.

The main reason I ask is because as I looked at the placement of the engine and the transmission, I was wondering short of a automatic transmission, how was he shifting it with the transmission all the way in the back like that. LOL. The things that come into my mind while drinking coffee and sitting at the computer at 921 at night. LOL
