jay8allday Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 i like how this is turning out where did u get the engine from and are you using styrene sheets for the floors in the car and rear engine plate
thumper86 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 Engine is a bunch of parts for a mock up , nobody makes a fontana hemi ( hint hint Ross Gibson ) lol. so I have to make my own . Yeas the floors are sheet plastic as are the engine plates as I clean up the whole build as one it will look better with time.
camarofan Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 dude i checked out ur build and all i can say is wow u do and amzing job on these cars man
thumper86 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 Yes always do lol. Thank you Tyrone!
comp1839 Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 robert, the chassis is awesome! i do have a question for you. do you make all of your own suspension parts? (i.e. struts, shocks, four link bars, rear housing etc. etc.) keep up the phenomenal work.
thumper86 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Thank you , Yes I am getting it to it more and more its seems with everything being handbuilt . I do the front struts rear axle ,4-link, shocks,trans,and now it seems engines as well lol. But I use Dirtmodelers 4- link brackets and brake kits are are way to nice not to use .

thumper86 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 Well heres some updates on the old girl. Made all the front end mounts and other than a few tweaks it works very well. And the front rims came today.Thank you Wayne for the tip on them there perfect.

brett Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Awesome Rob!! What are your mounting tabs made out of?
thumper86 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 LOL (insert evil laugh here) Thanks guys! The mounting tabs are just some old photo etch parts box finds lol. They still need cleaned up but they look the part.

thumper86 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Posted December 9, 2011 Thank you Tyrone I just think its time for me to stop making all those projects for ebay and start doing full builds again. And I gotta say I love doing the full builds again !
futurattraction Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 What a fantastic build, Robert. The detailing is phenomenal and your subject matter is really cool, to boot. I can't wait to see more updates!
tyrone Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Awesome Robert, where did you get those front wheels??? are the from protrack?? I've never seen those before. I had to give ebay up because of the ridiculous charges when you sell an item, Keep the full builds going...
