Hi just starting work on a new Drag Car but first i have to build the body and that is no easy task as you cant find much of it around . So i started with a Remote Controll body i bought at Kmart (had to buy the whole thing) and proceded to cut it up , well to start with it was suposed to be a 1/16 but more like a 1/20 or what but i dont know but here we go . Its not preety so far but we will get there .  more td pm TDPM. 024.jpg   112.41K   109 downloads  more td pm TDPM. 025.jpg   111.76K   130 downloads  more td pm TDPM. 026.jpg   101.87K   111 downloads  more td pm TDPM. 034.jpg   105.86K   139 downloads  more td pm TDPM. 039.jpg   120.65K   121 downloads  I am wanting to build a car campained by George Lazcanos (Lazcanos Racing) you can see photos on the Web it is an awsome machine .

Hi thanks for the kind words and i will do my best to turn it into a killer 350Z .  A few more photos after chopping the roof and adding some plastic in front of the windscrean and a bit more sanding to ready it for Bondo. In Australia we call it BOG . Thanks for all the replies and i will do my best to turn it into a killer 350Z . The hardest part will be building the Nissan V6 all the rest of the running gear is close to P/M . If its okay i thought i would put in 1 or 2 photos of a 29 Ford Woody I built about 10 years ago cause i love A Model Fords . I own a 29 Roadster P/UP Street Rod thanks Darryl.  pm seat brackets 002.jpg   130.25K   32 downloads  pm seat brackets 005.jpg   127.69K   42 downloads  pm seat brackets 006.jpg   74.88K   43 downloads  pm seat brackets 008.jpg   87.58K   46 downloads  finishing PM chassis 050.jpg   139.81K   47 downloads  finishing PM chassis 053.jpg   146.14K   36 downloads             

 

 

When i do this type of work i use a lot of ZAP (  zap a gap ) glue with Bicarb  Soda it works quick and hard as a rock  and bondo stickes to it good too see ya.

SWEEEEEEEETTTTT!!!!

 

I think I'm good at body work but wouldn't have the ability to pull this off. I doubt if 99% of the other model builders could either.

I like how it's turning out, very nice work Darryl

Hi guys just a couple of photos for a question I would like to ask about is do you think the rear wing on the back is the style for this car or should i go to a different style like a bigger Pro Mod . The wing is in its early stages would look better cleaned up .  I would appreciate your feedback thanks Darryl.  350 Z pro compact 036.jpg   77.78K   23 downloads  350 Z pro compact 033.jpg   94.32K   34 downloads

I did not realise till i was posting these photos that the front of the car was not long enough in the front section between the wheelarches .  I thought their was something wrong as it did not look right in proportion to the rest of the body .  You can see the difference in this photo of my other car I did the body on a 1/25 350 Z . P.S. This has been on the back bench for some time .  350 Z pro compact 028.jpg   91.68K   51 downloads
