  1. This is a project that I am working on for the 2018 cannonball run (inline engine only) and I just want to biuld something different so I decided to put a 6 cylinder engine in a cobra (I don’t think any one has done that) with a turbo. All I’ve done so far is biuld the exhaust manifold and mock the engine up and surprisingly the motor mounts lined up perfect. Still unsure on colour.

    let me know what you guys think.

  2. Here’s an update for me on the peterbiult. I got the intake built and shortened the frame.

    I was also playing around with the skyline and built a exhaust manifold and turbo setup. I made the BIGGEST mistake I could though today......... just for fun I mocked up a V8 in it and now I might want to biuld it with a V8. 

    So I mock up a Shelby cobra with the skyline motor and I don’t minde it so I will do some thinking and if it’s ok I might change.

    I'll be buying. When I was younger, both the USAF and the Navy were partial to these things, and I'm trying to do most of the military vehicles I knew and loved back then...

    My grandpa bought a Canadian army 64D400 that was converted into a grain truck it has a 225 slant six and a 4spd. The truck bent pushrods like crazy and I turned out that someone put paint in the fuel tank after it was cleaned out it ran like a dream. It was the truck I learned to drive a standard on so I would like to biuld a replica of it one day.

    One, maybe because they are nothing more than the "street" "custom" rear Goodyear G/T Radials that came in every 3 in 1 Monogram (remember, the first issues of these trucks were a Monogram kit) car kit that offered the stock, street, and drag building versions. 

    Two, maybe because the tires used on the real 1:1 trucks are very undersized as well! This is my 1990 F350 dually with the LT 235/85/16s that is the factory size for the truck, and though mine is a heavy duty equipped 4x4, they barely even need a wheel well on my truck!

    Nice truck. I can’t help but notice the gap in between the cab and box, was it a cab and chassis originally? What motor is in it?
