Well...sliced my finger open badly cutting the doors off...looks like I've been halted for a week if it doesn't heal fast. But here's a pic with the new scoop for you guys. I still haven't fitted it how I want it. Scoop should fit lower and not be as big when it's how I want it.

Note: gasoline does not remove paint or chrome it just eats the plastic. I learned the hard way with a wing on my 69 camaro yenko lol Looks great so far, I like how you just started yet you are so good! I too collect/redo Bmx bikes. Not as good as you and it is more of just a time filler because I actually ride but I do find that the details do add up on them and it does carry over to model cars. Cheers!

Looks great! For your headers what do you do to get them to all collect into the collector? I've been thinking of just filing mine to the right size but I want them to be even. Any help?

It needs some sort of high hp motor to put it over the top

Personally...the front end is too original to be a new concept. The craftsmanship is amazing though! I truly commend you for that.

If you need an intake just like that I have a few that I am willing to part with.

The one I have is ribbed but not vertical. Im not even sure of the motor its on because I got it in a junk yard sale on eBay. Here's a pic. If you want it its yours.

I'm planning on building a stalker race car trailer to hold my zr1 outlaw 10.5 car and I can't seem to find any dimensions anywhere. Is there anyone that has access to either dimensions or blueprints? I would really appreciate the help! Thanks a lot, Pete

I have a ribbed one. I'm just not sure if it's what you need. If it is I can send it to you!

As far as body mods, I plan to cut the hood to make it slide around the scoop. With the wing I've made I want to mold it in so that will get puttied on. Other than that and the front clip coming off I don't plan anything right now. For the firewall I used sheet styrene, I'm not sure what thickness because I'm not infront of it right now but it took a few tries to get it right.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the comments guys. I think it's time I clear it haha

Thanks, ill try that! In other news my scoop came in! I didnt expect it to get here so fast but I love it. My first ever resin piece and I gotta admit, I am impressed. I think i want to try casting some stuff. Pics to come later

Well I believe they used a direct drive that was set up like a powerglide. I know that a Lenco didn't come around til the late 80s at the earliest I'm just not sure on the exact tranny for that time period.

Currently this is next in line to be finished. I'm not sure if I'm gonna use the viper wheels or order some bbs wheels. And interior wise I'm planning a roll cage. But it will be tight to the roof and still be a full cage. But the cage is more to make the frame more rigid lol. Thanks for looking!

Well, I have a F100 that wasn't complete when I bought it so I started building it. I started as just a show truck but slowly grew on the idea of combining it with what is left of my Dodge Viper ACR. So right now this is how she sits. Not even close to done. Pretty much still in the mock up stage of suspension and details of the undercarraige. I still have painting to do on the original section of the chassis. The body is rough and I have to redo the hood... I also am a big fan of modern technology in nicely executed old school bodies. Enough words, here's some pics.

I kinda want one of those bodies now to replicate my diends Top Sportsman Daytona... Would we sweet! I like this a lot. But the blue maybe isn't the best color for it. But that's a personal choice

My next VIP build is a Celsior that I preordered but was way down the list for lol I can't wait. I might do a VIP hemi charger before that with part box parts. Should be neat

Thanks guys! I might switch the camber to give it a little more of a drift look

I actually do have both of those. I just can't find the dimmer switch lol. I don't really like to use it because I don't really have the most steady hands in the world. I'm gonna try some stuff on an old body first before I try using it again. Thanks

Hey guys. I had preordered this kit for a birthday present to myself back in October. This is the most costly kit I have ever bought so I wanted to take my time with it. I am still figuring out how exactly I want the camber to be though. I kinda think it looks rather aggressive how it is as of now. Anyway... Enough chatter from me...here's some pics for you. P.S. I do realize this isn't most people's style but I quite dig it, being only 17 and all, I think it looks pretty cool and the idea of having a car this low and with that much camber with it somehow working just blows my mind still... I still want it lower...

Started the motor. I found a decent BBC block with nice heads in my parts box so I got valve covers off one of my pro stock motors and filled the "Pontiac" in them and this is basically the mock up of the basics. I'm still trying to find my dry sump system lol.

Yea I am fish mouthing my tubing but it's kinda hard for me because I've always had minimal tools for models. I have only ever had the basic Testors paints and the 99 cent spray paint from home depot. I'm trying to get new tools and supplies though. When I do I will rebuild the vette probably...

I have many years of hands on experience with pro mods as I grew up with them. I just am getting the hang of the styrene. I spent what I had left in cash on the rods and got what they had left(not much) but it works for me. I still gotta start the tin work and find some smaller tubing for some braces. Then once my hood scoop gets here I can get started on the front half. I need the scoop for fitment lol. Thanks guys!

Thanks, I was actually reffing the other zr1 builds but it seems I've gotten to the point where I am ahead of them. I ordered my hood scoop last night so depending on howthat looks I might go with a nitrous 732 I have or I will just do a twin turbo big block that I have laying around. If all else fails I'm going 500 cui blown hemi. Pete

Anything? I understand I'm new around here but I do need some help from more experienced people... Am I even doing the cage right? If not then how can I fix it? The only ref I have is my dad's friends 41 willys pro mod and that only helps with general placement.
