  1. Little slow at work and found one of my old s10 pics of my many s10s..lol...this was a junkyard money maker..we called it the redneck rocket,because we usually raced fox mustangs...the one behind me in the profile pic is one of the few it was a high 11 daily driver..never consistant on the bottle 12.20's was the average,but this s10 I never got to the dragstrip we just did a lot of grudge matches with it on Reno & Sara Rd in Oklahoma City...google maps it and you can see where the street is prepped like a dragstrip by the valvoline plant..lol....always around 1 to 4am lots of older guys went there with put up or shut up money during winter when tracks were closed,so this little s10 went a few rounds then I sold it...No speedo....just the necessities..lol..this build reminded me of this one that I totally forgot about..the 5.0 I wanted it to look like BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH..it was just more fun on the street that way..lol..ended up taking that driveline out of it and installing it in a caged car..I had a hollowed out toolbox nitrous bottle cover too..lol
  2. this is really awesome...it gives me some direction now on where I was lost..lol
  3. its late once again,but I got a little more done to the back...I wanted to chop off the front and get to work on the front suspension...then I had this idea and this is the end result
  4. trust me you can pull this off too..spent 5 bucks on some evergreen plastic..measure,cut and glue..well at least im measuring it now..lol..I wasnt to serious at first..then I seen the detail of some of these other people and thought wow modeling can get really detailed...I think my hands are to big for that kinda stuff..but im trying anyway..lol
  5. bro..Ive just been wing'n it...lol.. as you can see this is my 3rd and final frame..if I had a game plan i'd probly be painting by now..lol,but I like it like this..Im learning as it breaks..lol..like in real life its all trial and error,but if plastic breaks its cheaper and I always have glue and putty..
  6. Ive gotta copy that faux bag idea...maybe not exactly..I had a different idea,but same concept..lol..if that makes any sense,but this car you're building is looking far superior to mine...you've got quite a skill set at this bro
  7. its still far from finished..just want to get all scratch work out of the way before I start working on details..I got some thin wire to make fuel lines and found some black rubber strands to make air ride lines out of..going to putty frame and paint/detail it..detail the interior...oh yea I made a pillar pod,but I need to redo it..never done a model before this and its turning into a lot of fun
  8. I got a few things done to the frame this morning..and I tried to make my 1st shaved firewall.Im going to cut the front frame down now to make the front suspension...I want to add a tubular design,but I just cant think of anything that will look right for this build...or just keep it traditional...dunno yet..but im liking how things are turning out..the coilovers looked goofy on the rear and when they would pinch I would have to pull back out the spring,so thats a no go on the rear..may work better on the front
  9. you gotta go with some oldschool firestones
  10. I like old school slot mags..my dad had those on his 71 challenger..can never go wrong with cragers or slots on old muscle
  11. dude the camaro is lookin sick..I'll try to make a solid bumper when I start wrapping this up if you havent found one buy then..lol..I use fiber glass a lot at work,so I will try to scale it down..just to attempt it
  12. thanks bro...Im still shocked..lol..did you see my picaso...haha..thats the color I want..I think its on the bottom of the 2nd page
  13. I figured out how to make functional coil overs tonight too..I think I can work them into the rear suspension and still lay frame..not sure though,but time to start adding tubing to the frame where I want my design...maybe after work tomorrow..Ive gotta pass out..
  14. I am up waaay to late,but I finally got a poseable 4 link rear finished..Im really happy it actually works the way I wanted it to..it can support the weight of the truck in pose
  15. I finally got my adjustable 4 link finished..have enough room for a 6 link..
  16. thats awesome..I like when people fab what they want.
  17. I want it a flat army green possibly,but im going to do more frame work tonight,but here is another attempt..im no artist..lol..but to give people an idea of the look im going for..im sticking with the turbo through the hood idea though
  18. just a drawing idea of a paint sheme...and the turbo cut out in the hood with a danger label..exhaust on the side too..just an idea be critical...i have a lot of ideas,but just want this one to be different
  19. those always reminded me of maximum overdrive lol...but it looks like it will be a fun challenge
  20. I think I got it this time around..lol..gonna putty it and round the corners then smooth out and add 4 link...maybe more..I had a sick idea for engine mounts and turbo mount..plus I can make a FMIC out of left over parts and putty..to many ideas..gonna get it done for sure though..I channeled body and interior..thinking of smoothing the bed too??..I could go on and on,so..lol
  21. the merc is gangster...seen your notch and makes me want to re-do mine and measure it this time around and make templates ..lol..yes I gotta copy that idea for the model..after seeing the merc ima take this build more seriously..lol
