Update time, it's not much but any progress is good progress right? So this one's about the back rims, I really liked the street rims the hot rod came with but because they're not deep dish they wouldn't look right on the pro street tires. The only suitable rims I have are from revell's pro street Chevelle, they are flat, bland, and have Chevy bow tie lug nuts. They just wouldn't look right on the hot rod so after some thinking I got the idea to combine the two rims together and turn the street rims into deep dish rims. So after a lot for gentle sanding the shave the pro street rims down with out causing the chrome the flake off and a little sanding to the street rims I glued them together to make custom deep dish rims so it's got matching rims all the around. Here's the pics. Before After And finally on the tire. Thanks for looking, as always more to come.

Thanks, I though really hard about that in the beginning and might do one latter on.

Wow, really nice color choice, I really like it.

Very nice, it looks awesome in grey.

Very nice Matti, another fine entry to this years run.

Awesome work on the engine Niko, it's gonna be a beast when it's done.

An absolute beauty!

Nice build, looks like it's straight from a Fast and Furious movie.

Cool, I've never seen one of those before, looks really nice.

Cool build, nice paint and great details.

Cool project, should be a beauty when it's finished.

Awesome work!

Man that thing looks sweet, that paint is super nice, congrats on finishing.

I haven't really decided what I'll do with it in terms of color yet. I've never done a rat rod and a part of me wants to try, but a part of me also wants to do it up like a hot rod. Thanks

Well, you're on to me so I might as well just tell everyone my plans. Being a mad scientist I found way to convert the power generated from an alternator and use it to power a focused emp gun to knock out the electrical systems of the racers ahead of me. Nah I just haven't decided which engine I want the alternator on yet, I'll take care of it soon.

Thanks!

Update time, after Jantrix very kindly pointed out that the stock front end would likely not hold the weight of the engines. Since then I've been working on building a heavier duty front end and this is what I got. All scratch built it made for a nice challenge and the joy of it is now the wheels turn. 3/4 ton springs with gas shocks upper a-arm setup and will be getting a stabilizer bar at the bottom. Forgot to get it in the picture. Next thing I will work on is the rear rims, I had an idea and want to try it out. Thanks for looking!

Great work so far everyone! As for me after a ton of thinking and some scratch building I think I've come up with a suitable front end to support 1,400 odd pounds of America's finest, I hope at least lol. It's fitted with 3/4 ton springs with gas shocks, upper a-arms and will be getting a stabilizer bar at the bottom. Forgot to get it in the pics. Next thing I will work on is the rear rims, I had an idea and want to try it out. I will also probably start on the GTX now.

I've been watching this for a while now, I really like this idea and being a huge GT fan since GT2 I would really like to join in too. I've been busy with another cbp and that's chewing up a lot of my time but if I can free up and get a kit I'd love to join. Great work so far to everyone building! Edit: Fighting the evil forces of typos lol

Awesome Mopar, the engine detail is mind blowing.

Very nice build!

Great job!

Awesome build, looks fast sitting still.

Or Bruce Wayne's daily driver.

The Mopar guys like it a lot.
