The Red Ranger

What a beautiful build. Wow.

Thanks! Yeah that bodykit was intense. Still have the putty work to do on the right side but the frames are all in place. And you're spot on, attached is the r34 that inspired this bodykit.

Inspired by my father's recent 66 Mustang build I picked up the knife and Putty again and wanted to build a 66 inspired by the Hoonicorn and other autocross Mustangs I've seen. I ended up using the chassis, stretched out from the 97 SuperSnake kit so I could use a more modern suspension, use the modern engine, etc. Hood and front balance from a GT500 heavily modified, had to section the hood to work on the 66. Body work has been the biggest consumption of time as I had to cut the wheel wells and add fender flares. I just have some pinhloles and a couple of low spots and should be ready for paint. This whole build reminded me of the 70 Skyline I started building with a wild hand built wide body kit 10 years ago, so I wanted to picture them together. The skyline is just visual mods, no need to swap the motor on that. It was a massive undertaking back in the day and life got in the way so it got shelved buuut once the Mustang is finished, the Skyline is next.

Is there something wrong with the Forums? It's not letting me view anything, only lets me reply to them.

Man, I would love to have that Baja Racer!!!

Count me in, I am going to build a Mustang II. Don't have the kit yet, but once I do I will get pix up. I may do a second one but only after the Mustang II is built.

I would totally do it, but I would do one from Twisted Metal!!!

So I have a few foreign kits, 70 Skyline, Nissan R34 and a Porsche kit, two of which are curbside, no engine detail at all, I am looking at some Subaru kits and I can't find any with engine detail. Is there an easy way to figure out which kits ARE NOT curbside?

It will be sitting just a tiny bit higher than normal ride height, I was even considering putting a grill guard and bumper guard for a little more All-Terrain attitude. I've always wanted a truck that could tear up the streets and the dirt, so this is going to be that realized.

So I am back to this hobby after some years of being out of it and I am picking up with my pride and joy project. 95 Ford Ranger kustom. Originally it started out as a street truck but I have since turned it into something that would be more on all terrain, on street/off road type deal. So I am going to post progress pictures. Right now I am in the middle of customizing a Shelby grill as the grill of the Ranger, not just because it looks awesome, but I also screwed up the original grill, so it was a happy thing. This is where I left the truck about 4 years go This is the grill before I cut it up and pieced it back together. Now, if I want to use the Lund Razorback I will have to cut into the cab... so before I do that, I would like opinions, keep it or ditch it? Final one for viewing pleasure. So there it is. I am using the Super Stallion Mustang 5.4 with it's supercharger for the power plant. I am modding the front suspension to a control arm set up as opposed to the I-beam, though I am actually going back and forth on that.

You have my curiosity.

Reminds me more of the Scion FR-S.. oh wait

Very nice! I really like this car and this is a very nice rendition of it. I especially love the Gran Turismo license plates

So, that Revell Grave Digger re-issue is a really great kit. I built it as a kid and really loved it. I am picking up a couple of the kits and I want to do a more professional finish on it than I did when I was 13, lol. The decals are adhesive, not water based, but I am curious if I can clear over them? Anyone have any experience and/or luck with that?
