Pim Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I have decided to pull this stalled project off the shelf and build it into a tow vehicle when I get a trailer I will probably buff up the rear suspension to take the extra weight and do some mods to the engine. was going to lift it but decided to leave it as is. I don't know what wheels I will use and I am open to suggestions for colour as the current paint job is terrible and it will need a repaint.

hjracing Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Great stance! I'll keep an eye on this one! What tire/wheel combo do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkypeanutbutter Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Do silver, or metallic red. Are you brush painting everything? It looks like it. I'd suggest spraying the body, it looks far better that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 nah miles sprayingit is just that ihave given the body a go over with sand paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I never sand my bodies on my cars. I suppose I need some better sanding films for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pim Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) so I took Jamie's idea of making some off road bumpers and made one with some styrene rod, a tow hook and a number plate holder i have also started a winch for the front that's the thing that's red [url=http://s87.photobucket.com/user/volksrod1/media/scratchbuilding/DSCN0513_zpsfgjgq2if.jpg.html][ Edited March 14, 2015 by Pim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorincebu Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Brayden, This looks good thus far! What kind of trailer are you going to put behind it? Box or flatbed? Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Gator thanks for the encouragement i would eventually like to get the trailer from the 76(?) caprice amt kit but if you have any other suggestions fire away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 this is now done hopefully i will get a shoot done today and get it under glass as for the trailer i am going to eventually scratchbuild one as galaxie trailers are far too expensive or just get flatbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
