Jim3 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) The other topic went poof LOL ... This started with the Petty Charger . I cut out the trunk and took 4mm off the rear window shelf , then off the quarter.. Took about a half inch off the front fenders and added the hood panel.. Then cut 22mm out of center of the hood & reshaped the scoop. Ruffed in the wheel flares and valance panel.. Front and rear bumpers are scratch built..

Jim3 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Not much detail lol.. I just sized a grill picture , printed it out on paper and cut it out .. Then transfer the shape on plastic and a lot of sanding.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim3 Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Got a little more done to it .. Scratch built some hubs added some 1/25 scale dub rotors on the rear I used the kit brakes and added springs ,backing plates. Oil cooler & oil tank brake & master cylinder lines .. also built a battery tray hold down for the battery. Built a cooler to go under the rear end blower and plumbed it.. The kit comes with jack stands so I made a jack to go with them.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonekrosha Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Awesome so far. (subliminal message #1-make me one) I like the dirty battery (subliminal message #2-You WANT to make me one) I've got three of these in progress (subliminal message #3-I'll send you a body and dough) maybe one of these days I'll finish one of them.
