Scale Powered Maverick!!

Well guys, as I get into this slot scene, I have two chassis to work on, a vintage Rannalli and a modern H&R chassis. I got the H&R plain so I can add the wheels and motor I want. I am starting with a Malco Multi Maverick body. I removed the rear spoiler and will be adding a Baldwin Motion style spoiler. On the front spoiler, I am adding side winglets for more style. I am molding everything together for a more fiberglass style body. I will also be blanking out the front grill. Here is my start! Jody

Well, I have one side of my maverick almost done. Need to putty up the front spoiler just a little bit and then clean up as well as clean up the rear end some/ Looking at the front view you can see how I added onto the ends of the spoiler to round it out and into the body. Looking at the side, you should be able to tell that I added some ground effects tot he center of the body and to the rear. I also extended the rear wheel well opening out some. I removed the rear spoiler and added a scratch built one to enlarge it and get it to go more smoothly with the flow of the body. Moving around to the back. you should be able to tell that I molded the rear light bezels into the body as well as the bumper. I also added a exstension onto the body to mold the bumper/body and spoiler together for one whole smooth appearance. You will also note that it took me about 5 hours to do this all and that I have not done the other side yet. LOL. I wanted to keep the body light since it will be on a slot car, but I might be defeating that purpose with my look? However, if you look at the front end, you will note that I did radious the front wheel wells more to make the spoiler flow around and up into the wheel weels. This did remove some material. I also removed half of the front valance behind the spoiler as I molded that into the body and the spoiler. A few more hours and this will be ready for primer!! I hope you all enjoy the new pics .
