1320wayne Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Here is the wip rebuild of the A100 drag truck that will go with my dually and Galaxie trailer. It is being done in a Super Gas or Comp. Eliminator style. The body is a Jimmy Flintstone chopped A100 and the chassis is being upgraded to resemble something a little more accurate than what I had originally built so many years ago. In the pics below all of the styrene in white is all new pieces being added. I also cut open the doors to be hinged later on.

Jantrix Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Terrific. Years ago I'd built something just like it with a Baja Beast VW. Sadly it was in a box of models that disappeared during a military move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320wayne Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Got a lot more done on the A100. Chassis is all painted along with some home computer generated carbon fiber decals. Both doors are hinged and the tires and wheels are painted and installed. I also created a bed cover. More coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledsel Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 That is really cool... As a 1:1 it would be scary as hell to drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320wayne Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 A reasonably small update. I was able to open the exhaust holes in the side of the body along with getting some color and assembly started on the engine. I also scratched a set of wheelie bars.

The rest of the decals will be a mix of homemade and parts box decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
