Chas SCR Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Due to the weather being so below here in michigan and can't get any painting done on the two cars i'm building so far, I gone head and started on a build that I think will high light the new style frames and parts from the autocross world. No Limits has let me in on what the new frame that is going under there fastest autocross truck and all the updates so I can build it to the scale parts. This is not a show truck but more of a hard beaten race truck with street parts of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chas SCR Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Jason I do my painting in a paint booth in the basement in my shop but I can't keep the heat above 20 degrees and the booth is traping water in the air right now. The frame is 3d printed by me, the motor will be the one they ran at the big tracks and in Vegas as it's a lot more different then the flat intake one. For the body no, it was started from the AMT 72 chevy kit and then I shorten the bed up on it. The bed is a lot shorter then a normal short bed so there is still a lot taken out on both sides in front and rear of the wheel. Did a lot of talking to them down in Columbuis and Indy this year as I was getting ready to do this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armornv Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'll definitely be watching this one. Love these trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas SCR Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 I done a little work on this tonight getting the frame more square and put together with the brass parts. I did go back and made the rail extenchens longer so every thing will line up easy'er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony N Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Great start ! I saw this truck run at the Good guy's car show and it sounded great. Before you start painting, I think you should check to see if the the wheel wells were enlarged or maybe the body was section a couple of inches. The body doesn't look stock to me. But I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
