Trans Am Erik Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Profile, but removing the running boards created another problem. I have to extend the rockers to cover the frame rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans Am Erik Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 I reshaped the side windows to modernize their look. I cut the windows up to the drip rails then added guides so I can rescribe the door lines. Similar to a new car the doors would take the whole A-pillar, and roll over the edge of the top.

oldnslow Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 And this is going to be a slot car? If not it probably needs to be moved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpier Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I like it sans running boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans Am Erik Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 I contemplated just putting this in the normal "on the workbench" section. 1: It will be more model than slot car when it's done due to the body mods and details. 2: There's not much traffic down here in the slot car section.

oldnslow Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Kudos on heavily modifying the truck and then racing it. I'd be afraid of destroying it the first time it came off the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
