diymirage Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 hey guys here is the introduction to my newest WIP its some sort of rod though im not sure on the exact term, street or rad rod or something (not really my cup of tea but why not) the whole idea came to life when i picked up the main body in europe for 9,95 euros (a revell of germany kit) its a great car but slightly boring OOB and ive been wating for a way to harvest the driveline out of it for a muscle car well, it finally came to me, ill make it into a rod of some sort after scowering through the partskit i found a 32 ford frame that i will need to Z to make the body sit right but it had both axles so it will do the trick i havent figured out rolling stock yet but im thinking this might be a good chance to unload some of those hideous centerlines they put in every muscle car kit (if only i had some wide white walls for the rear) since this project wont have a hood on it (though i will build a grille for it) it will be perfect for the 392 firedome i build ages ago that come in the modified stockers ford truck heres a shot of the firepower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Stone Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 ... my main hangup is coming up with a front end that looks right on the car Really not my cup of tea, but to keep with the late-model Mopar theme, maybe you can put a Plymouth Prowler grille to finish out the front.

diymirage Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 got a little work done today fixed up the rolling stock, worked on the frame and made up a front grille for it the grille is made out of the front fenders of the 32 ford i vaguely remember seeing a section on this on sesame street by this feller right here im not pleased with how far the wheels stick out but those are the tires i wanted and i dont really wanny fix it...maybe ill slap on some fenderextenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
