Red rocket 10 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hey guys it's been a while since I've built something, so here we go . I started with a 1/16th scale RC car , the body needed a lot of modifications ,for starters it was too wide so I had to narrowed it and remove the windows. I just got started on the chassis and soon the engine and trans . I've got along way to go so wish me luck. This is all I've got for now, stay tuned. Thanks, Leonard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red rocket 10 Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 What's up guy's I've been working on a few things, I modified an old hood scoop I had lying around ,It was air intake off of a P51 Mustang . It still needs final tweaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrone Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Great Job on the scoop Leonard.... I'm locked in on this one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharr7226 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Awesome work Leonard. Did you lower the lip on the front wheel opening? Based on the cut down the center of the body, it looks like you removed some material. Did you narrow the body? If so, by how much? The chassis and the scoop look great. I'll watch this one closely.

futurattraction Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Cool! A Mustang scoop on a Camaro! LOL The scoop looks like it's shaping up well... It's neat to see something a bit different like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red rocket 10 Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Thanks Guy's I'm trying , Rick I did narrow the body about 4mm, the fenders where cut and moved down, it was a bear. Hey Dave send me those pictures Leonard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
