Belugawrx Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 It might not be too much to look at at the moment, but your mentioning Dakar makes me officially scared. If you are showing up with anything that resembles the capabilities of the mighty KamAZ 4911, we (the rest of us) are up against some stiff competition! or maybe,.... http://drivingfans.com/semi-truck-jumping-australia/#.VpQ7bBUrK00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhedir6 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Small update for my Raptor, Working on the rollcage and interior, needs more attention. Started on the chassis mods...still deciding how detailed to go. Hood removed for the engine. More parts to come this week in the mail I hope.

ProStreetOnTheStrip Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Nice work everybody! (DONT PUT ME DOWN YET) but I might use a 68 charger with a nice lift and something special under the hood (hehe) oh, and some of my updates might not have pics since I don't own a camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Paint is going somewhere ...a little different... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFchronos Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Awesome paint job Bruce! Verbal updates are okay Don, as long as we get to see some or a picture of what you are starting with and a couple of photos throughout your build you'll be good.

Belugawrx Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Can't wait to see what you have cooking here Tim !?! Darren, like the fourgonette project... Mine,...still on paint,...had a relaxing (?) day with the airbrush, and booth.... And then it went..... too much, too fast, too thin,.. So then it went... And now, after many coats of Tamiya clears, and thinned Testors AZTEK, and a black sharpie Finally figured a proper mix for airbrush painting...and I gotta say,... I am really diggin' this new airbrush,..... oh,...and I switched over the dash Cheers Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgeback Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Flared arches fitted. Just need to fill and finish the rear profile.Engine is going to be a 1275 mini race engine, rear mounted in a space frame. I wanted to keep it lightweight and as the original engine had 26bhp, fitting the 1275, gives me over 4 times the power over standard ?

Belugawrx Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Darren,..that thing will fly.. Had a problem today,... Jake couldn't remember which engine he was supposed to put in the truck........

bill_67 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Some very unique builds all ready entered, I think I finally figured out something that I want to build I will go hunting through the parts tonight. Some very cool paint jobs Ray (helix) and Bruce (belugawrx) they have given me a few ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
