Looks like a clean build so far.

ya I need something for a Dodge truck month group build...lol. this is what I came up with. Just updated this post check it out

This is a build that started out as a "let's see what happends" kinda build and has really gain some personality because of it. I started by cutting out the trunk, then braced it up to cut the roof off. After removing the top I moved on to the chassis which went together quickly, added wires and hoses along with transmission linkages. First time using a muffler, two in one out to the side. Got her cleaned up and in black primer, ride hight was worked out. The front required some scratch built drop spindles. The rear end needed major sanding to the top of the differental.. I'm happy with the look so far.Testers purplelisous came out nice with a bit of clear. The interior and the bed still need some work, going from a race car to a street car is never easy. I knocked down the chrome wheels with a dusting of black primer. It was more of an accident but the results are better then expected. More to come soon.

Wow, this is great, I applaud the effort in this build. It's such a small body but you've already done a lot to it. Kutgw

Nice build, I dig the blacked out look.

Wow! looking great so far, the frame building itself was awesome, cant wait for an update. Hope your knee is getting better.

^^^ exactly what I was thinking, keep it up, there's something new to learn with every build. I did a build on this kit a while back, look up "two builds two breeds" I have love for this car, I drive one everyday.

Wow, thats a ton of body work, I'm currently working on this kit but in no way to this degree. The flash was so bad that it was almost scrap... Its coming along ok. Kutgw

Thanks guys, this was my third build after getting back into the hobby. Since this i've finished about six, this truck always catches myeye in the case. See ya next time

Yes this is a very "what if" model built by pure imagination. Heres a chassis shot and also the dash board before install. I added a few things to motor such as a hard fuel line, fuel pump, radiator hoses, overflow tank and distributor along with a dash mounted ignition box, all scratch. The oil filter relocater and oil cooler were supplied but I plummed them to make it right. The stance was lowered, wheel base legnthened along with the drive shaft. The exaust was made in a nascar style to finish it off. Look out for more builds by Cancinoevil.

in hindsight yea but since it did get the motor swap l figured what the heck. Besides im a Chevy guy anyway lol

Thanks everyone, I'll add a few more pictures of the chassis and motor, I have to dig through some files first. Heres a w.i p. Shot for now.

I had a great time with this truck, it is a bit rough compared to a lot of what I see here but non the less I wanted to share this. I swaped the drive train and most of the suspention also. Plummed and wired the motor. The bed was fitted with the fuel cell along with the filler tube a battery and then covered with a custom bed cover and support bars tied into the roll cage. The drivers compartment has added nascar safety equipment, once i'd gotten that far I figured why not decal it in the full MGD theme. All I really wanted to do was swap the NASCAR wheels on it and be done... Yeah right. I had a blast and it came out half decent.

Very clean. Is this the absolute version?

Love the look of this build, imitation is the best form of flattery right? I cant wait to build this in a similar way.

Done. Quick photos for the post. This was a lot of fun to customize. I have a really cool idea for a kit mash up in the works. Nascar style 55 f100. Lookout for that. I ran this decal set to enhance the already aggressive attitude of the car. Ive learned a lot in this build and am excited to put it to work on the next one. This build came out as I pictured it in my head. (which is a win)Comments welcome and encouraged. Enjoy thank you.

Great builds, cool weathering/damage on the blue r32. I can see that the nismo has a much higher level of detail under the hood than the rest. Looking real good, Ill be using your engine bay as a reference on my godzilla build. Can I bug you for another shot of the nismo bay thanks.

Okay, the nova has come a long way, quick thank you to this fourm for keeping me inspired on this build. As far as progress i've got the trunk completed with an added nitrous bottle and also got the fuel cell wired up and plumbed. Heres a shot of the chassis, all the wires and hoses end up under the interior. The interior was pretty bare to start with so tossed in the racing seat, roll cage, and a tach. I fumbled the tach decal though so I had to paint it...oh well You can see the start of my direct port nitrous injection system, cause you can't just slap in a bottle a call it good. Lol. Gotta make it right. Only thing in leaving out of this build is the throttle linkage ect... Next time.

yea check it out, the TWO BUILDS TWO BREEDS thread, I'll make an update soon. My goal was to use scratch built stuff for detail, next time im getting s.s. lines, an. fittings ect.

Integra is finished! I put the final touches on this one and snapped a few photos. What do ya think? The Nova got the fuel cell in place and also a set of four wheel brembo disk brakes, this kit didnt include brakes... Ive been doing small changes to the front suspension and rear differential to accommodate the low ride hight.

Good work so far, simple and clean, looks killer in the last mock up.

Sweet, thats going to look real nice next to the blue one, good contrast.

Switching gears now, I was able to get a lot finished on the Integra, the motor is now happily installed in the bay. I also got the suspension in, all thats needed under the car is some touch up paint here and there. next Igot to work on some finishing of the interior. I added a detachable racing steering wheel from a rocket bunny gt86 kit, I pulled a racing seat from an Initial D Trueno kit and put the harness decals on. The Nova also got some attention to the engine bay with added fuel.lines. Almost time to fill it! More to come, stay tuned

I just read through this whole thread and just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration, it was awesome to see this nova be born lol. My pro street 66 nova looks like its made of rocks compared to this work of art. Lol. Looking forward to completion.
