Skydime Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 This thing is sick! I love it. I'm not a member there but, aren't you documenting this over on Lay It Low as well? It's so much easier to follow current builds on here with the chosen format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altered Visions Customs Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 this is how i the exhaust headers for the turbos it was a challenge to get them all the same length but i got it done. When i started it i was trying to make each pipe out of one piece of styrene tubing but found that cutting it in different lengths,making the bends then marking n gluing them together was a lot easier n looks better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altered Visions Customs Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 the rims I made are directional, with a matching steering wheel. The brakes I made out of a set of pegusus disc brakes and a set I got from Brian at Hack Shack Resins he also supplied the air-filters on the motor as well as casted my rim masters so i could have a whole set without making all four the lips for the rims I will be making on my lathe soon as well as some other goodies for this build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
