Nice work, looks great!! I remember drawing gassers like that from the Rat Fink drawing packs, when a kid!
-
Interesting build, looks great! The chip-board base could use something to cover the edge, but otherwise nicely done! Reminds me of an old white goat, rusty & steel wheels, built by some local bikers, it looked like junk, but underneath it was a serious 9 second machine!

Body kit looks clean on there, there was a dark green 16V side carbs 2.0L in town here years ago, sweet look'n ride!!
-
Nice job, looks great, love the heavy flake paint, and that front grill treatment looks cool!!
-
Ultra low stance, those wheels look like maybe from a Jada car? The tailgate has a '79-82 rear wing on it, why not keep the twin plane SVO wing? Looking forward to seeing more!
-
That's looking alright, good work! I think your observation about the side mirror is correct, they are quite tall in scale, and sit unusually low compared to the side window bottom trim line
-
Very clean & nicely built work Dominik, bravo!!

Fantastic detailing, that body looks great, it's got a seriously nice aggression to it!! Nice work! -
A muscular Charger will look great, pro-touring + resto-mod?

Most Swoopy car to you ?

I've always thought the T-Mead TIII would make a great resin kit build, there is a die cast scale out in the market, cool subject!! -

Yes Mike it would be, even the 3.0L Porsche I4 engine needed twin balance shafts to help it, this engine was limited for use in race & marine applications, so in this imaginary use probably good enough for running out in front of the open wheelers! It is uber cool for this project Eric! I think the OHC engine would still have been superior in the production role, lighter weight, and this 3.7L - especially with the 429 head used - sure wouldn't be economy or emissions champ LOL A big plus is that the 3.7L block -half of a 460! - is all aluminum, so some weigh savings there, and even though the 429 head is steel it helps with detonation and heat with increased boost, the magnesium valve cover probably helps a little with weight, certainly that head would weight nearly as much as the bare block possibly? Okay, so now to figure out the rest of the drivetrain!?

It really depends on the specific model and scale. I recently was willing to bid up to $100 on a 1/8 Jaguar kit, but the auction went up to $225 Generally speaking, I would say $100 tops, and that'd only be if it was an exceptional, PPE included, full detail kit, but then I am not a kit collector either

Is a mix of a few concept Cadillac cars of recent, including the Sixteen. I like it! Is clearly a competitor to the Mercedes SLS coupe
-
That's nuts! I'd scratch build one for anybody for half that price!

Revells 1970 Ford Torino Cobra w.i.p day 5 Finished
Jeremy Jon replied to IMPALASS89's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Clean build so far, looking good!! -
There was a marine engine version, true Andy There was a 3.7L version made also, and was even printed in the Ford motorsports catalog in the early 1980's, both Roush and Ed Pink played around with their own variations too! Ohio George indeed ran a 4 cylinder turbo, this pic of his Pinto showing is a OHC 2.3L engine, I'm unsure but it may be possible he ran one of these 3.5L engines later on?
-
Crazy right!? It's definitely a 429 boss head on that thing, but an I4 ....that would be a 3.5L four banger! + turbo = nuts! Here's a pic of the block, with a typical 4 cylinder head gasket sitting on top for comparison! PS - I already know what the engine is, yes was a production item actually, but curious if someone else will guess it?
