RadRidesByDan Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 This is a project that I was inspired by Chip Foose when he built the real car on the OverHaulin show a few years back thanks 4 lookin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Peterson Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I've seen lots fo scale bodywork, good scale bodywork, excellent scale bodywork, but I have to say, the models you've posted recently exhibit what I feel compelled to call perfect bodywork. It's hard enough in 1:1, but modifications in scale, and under the modern microscope of a digital camera on macro setting, are particularly difficult to get "right". It's not so much getting smooth transitions and mirror-like paint finishes (which is hard enough!), but getting radical body work to look "in scale" without being clunky or thick is the work of wizards. The Challenger is flat out amazing, and I'm thinking project Venom has got to be the sweetest, best executed custom I've seen in ages, if not ever. Is it true that the 2" tall mechanics who work on Bill Geary's cars are moonlighting in your neighborhood? Hmmmmmm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Very well done! From what I've seen of the rest of your builds, it's par for the course. I really like this one because I don't usually like the Challenger, (just the Cuda) but yours makes me want to build one! Great Job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Thats what came to mind when I chose the rims....the rally rims that were made for teh 1:1 car just didnt look right Thanks for the great comment Bear Thought so too, the openings were just too small for a wheel that large.

abedooley Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I bet if the owner of the actual car saw your version he would beg and plea to buy that from you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
