tyrone Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Rob, man thats no problem at all.... I'm not like that by any means... I think it looks great... are you gonna put the park light's in it to?? I love these cars when they still have that stock appearing look, but when they the factory lights etc, back in and not airbrushed are the best.... cant wait to see updates...

GoatGuy Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Are you sure they aren't mid-engine cars? That would explain the turbos in the trunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Building them like this gets old at times so you have to go outside the everyday box and do something that pushes you a bit just to get out of the same old thing rut.

GoatGuy Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) I meant the 1:1 cars in the photos. I see yours are not. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know a lot about Pro Mod or 10.5 cars. You are doing a great job and I understand about doing something different. Looking forward to more of this build.

comp1839 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 dave, the guys that were trying the turbo's in the trunk thing were mostly 10.5 / 275 radial or some other small tire class were traction is at a real premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatGuy Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Got it. I depend on guys like you that know. The only way to find out is to ask. I've learned a lot on this site. My wife says I'm obsessed.

thumper86 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Ok back on subject at hand . I did a test paint the other day and it turned into what is going to be the base color of the car with black z-28 stripes. I'm not a fan of yellow and never have been but on this car it seems to work lol. Now regarding the 1:1 mustang the twin turbos in the trunk ideal came from . The turbos in the trunk did work and made in and around 3000 hp and the car was quick BUT the setup was takin out because the car would wheelie like crazy and that cost E.T. witch no drag racer wants to lose . I did find a video of the car in action. Crank it up and enjoy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
