caine440 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 As done as it is going to get. Thanks for everyone's comments during this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Sauber Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) Beautiful work, thats a real nice version of that car. Looks like you got the stance just right.... Spraying a little clear dull-coat on the chrome wheels would give em a brushed aluminum look of the old centerline wheels that seem to be on the 1:1 car... In any case, thats a super nice job you did on the model. Edited February 26, 2010 by J. Sauber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my name is nobody Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 This is a beautiful build up. Not many racing Volare's. everything looks perfect as always. another wicked Mopar drag racer for your shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buckaroo Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Wow Roger - That is one Sharp Volare. I could not find the build up on it - what kit is the body from ? I also really like the color of your Carbs. is that a custom mix ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kris Morgan Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Outstanding job on an often over looked car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caine440 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) Thanks for all the kind words and great advice. The car started from this kit. The decals were done with great help from many on several boards. One board member put in a lot of time and effort and the car would not have been possible without him. I just had to size them and print them. The carbs are painted with testors model masters 1796 jet exhaust and then washed with black detailer. The chassis was a modified from a Pro Stock Olds kit. There are some nice Pro tech parts used as well as some Competition Resin parts and a Ross Gibson motor with wonderful MAD distributors. Thanks again!

spkgibson Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Your build looks great,I wish I knew someone to print off a set of Rod Shop decals for me for a 71 Demon I want to build,Looks great my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caine440 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Yep. The early Pro Stockers(I Think Dick Landy was the first to do the twin plug heads) were a T shaft and later ones were mounted side by side. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caine440 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 I changed it by using a couple of MAD distributors joined at the shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dencon Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 That is a very nice looking model. something you do not see at the shows. You nailed the "Different" and the "Gottchya" factors. Nice work. I have seen the duel distributor set up both ways many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
