bbowser Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 IMO wrinkle-wall slicks don't wrinkle until you drop the hammer. Sitting still there wouldn't be wrinkles, other than looking slightly underinflated. Great model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eviltwincustoms Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 yep, I have to agree with what has already been said. If you don't know much about these cars.... you sure had me fooled because they look spot on! You did a fantastic job in detailing out the cobalt. Look forward to seeing our next project!

Johnny Racer Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Awesome looking build! You nailed it. Actually when you have a larger tire as the pro stocks do, the slicks will have a slight "wrinkle" to the them even standing still. Its not as exagerated as when they lunch and has a lot to do with how low some of teams run their air pressure. On most drag slicks, a wrinkle on lunch should come up to about the 1o o'clock position of the tire. I think everything looks great! Where on earth did you get those rims and carburators from???

pharr7226 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Your detail and execution is fantastic. Is that a Ross Gibson engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 i said i didnt know much about drag cars.. That certainly doesn't show- everything looks like it's there, and where it's supposed to be! I'm not very knowledgable about modern drag cars myself, but I don't think I could make one look as good as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou s Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 its the revell engine that came with LAPD camaro.i scratch bilt the manifold used pro tech demon carbs and scale repos valve covers. his valve covers are great but when i set them on the heads they set a little high so i used a saw and cut them down a little. i then polished them up and they came out great.the oil tank and pullys are machined aluminum spec.the rims are micro nitro.

Kanedge Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Awesome work, would love to see better quality pictures of the interior and how you wired it up (so I can copy, of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Racer Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 scale repos valve covers. his valve covers are great but when i set them on the heads they set a little high so i used a saw and cut them down a little. i then polished them up and they came out great. Thanks for all your info. Is there a website somewhere that I can locate those valve covers??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lou s Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 ill try with some better picures when i post the finshed pics...............i think if you google scale repos plus it will come up.look for the cast metal large valve covers.
