[Outlaw Drag Radial Mustang]

Thanks Guys!

[Slightly lowered Ranger Splash]

Because I didn't have enough projects, I decided to start another! I built the backhalf a while ago with a parts box rear and evergreen rod, I didn't want your average C-notch:

I threw some spikes in for good measure

I stole the wheels off the Revell custom 99 Silverado, with a little black wash

Then I got the bodywork done, starting with shaved handles:

a molded-in roll pan:

and last but not least....... a cowl hood entirely too big for a truck with no body drop and a stock motor:

Stay tuned....paint and interior next!

Here is the finished valve cover and intake manifold:

A little detail painting and some foiling goes a long way

The motor is starting to look less like a toy!

I also cut, bent, and modified the piping for the intercooler, as well as painting it body color:

Then I made the exhaust down-pipe for the 5 inch turbo back exhaust. It's "heat wrapped" with masking tape

Thanks guys!

Todd-I'm not sure what scale the mixer is, but it's definitely not 1/24 ! I will save the wheels and as many other parts as I can off of it for future projects though!

I got the motor mocked up...

It's gonna be a tight fit, but I think i can make it work.

So I pulled it apart and shot everything red

Then came time to detail it!

In the photo above, I have covered the valve cover in aluminum duct foil, and I'm beginning to black-wash it.

Great build! "Jarhead" is clean! Your Uncle would be very proud. I like the 5th gen elements, especially the wheels. Awesome job cleaning up the chassis and updating a classic!

Some more close-ups

Some spare decals and hand painting fill up the back window

The NMCA logo on the windshield was also painted by hand.

Inside I added a body color roll cage, tach, shifter, steering wheel, and guage panel.

Check out the note on the dash, "DON'T FOUL!" as in no red lights!

Time to spool the turbos and hit the strip!

Older build, I can't remember If I ever posted it here. Pretty simple it's a snap kit, so there's no motor or chassis detail. It was just a fun build that went together pretty quick.

Loosely based on BoostedGT's car from Street Outlaws. The scoop was scratch-built from sheet plastic, evergreen tube was used for the turbo inlets in the front bumper.

The wing was scratch-built also. Wheels and tires came from the parts box.

I also added a parachute and mount, pull cable, battery cut off, as well as charging posts. The rear tag reads UL LOSE.

Frame is getting there

I decided to fab a hitch mount too, more on that later..

Then came time to figure out a motor........and I had this die-cast cement mixer laying around......

And it just happen to have an in-line turbo diesel engine.....

Now originally i was going to attempt to turn the stock 5.3 LS motor into a 6.6 Duramax, but this is modeling....so it's looking like a Cummins swap!

Wow, I've been gone waaaaaaay to long! College an 1:1 Hot Rods have kept me busy, but I managed to make it back to the bench and I'm gonna try to get the Red Silverado wrapped up for the December MAMA meeting! Lonnnng over-do progress shots:

The front end needed work, I fabricated some drop brackets from sheet plastic

All glued in, I used the stock rear leafs-prings

I can try and get some pics this weekend, I don't have any of the underside on my laptop right now. I originally cut the fenders out to have it lay frame, but after I z'ed the rear of the frame I liked the nose-high aired-out look so I just left the front suspension at stock height.

One of the cleanest Caprices I've seen!
