Nova Salt Flat Racer
chris chabre replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
When we started building one of the cars I was part of, a veteran racer told us to forget everything we know about racing set ups. He was right haha. -
Nova Salt Flat Racer
chris chabre replied to Pierre Rivard's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
it's an amazing build! I'd leave the bumpers the way they are, I don't have a red hat yet but the last car I was a partner in went nearly 190 after I left the team. A red hat is a goal of mine though. Obtaining a red hat is actually harder that most people realize. going over 200 isn't the only requirement. -

weight is your friend on the salt. you'll routinely see weight added to cars. If you've ever driven at speed on packed snow, you'll understand this the car floats and you drive with your gas pedal, not necessarily the steering wheel -

Awesome build, cant wait to see more! I miss racing on the salt, but I hope to go back one day, my personal goal is 250 mph. my only critiques would be the floors would be bare and the stock seat would not have been allowed, SCTA has been the most strict tech Ive ever gone through with good reason -
the hood looks good with the clear coat peel. Id do the roof and trunk as well to make it all cohesive. (THE PAINT IS BEAUTIFUL) Maybe fade the black body moldings as well.

Dr. Krook Patient Pending custom show rod.
chris chabre replied to Silvercreeker's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Motor looks great!!! I finally have all 5 of the corvair powered show rod kits revell did. I do need to find a motor for one of them because mine was not built well. -
Rogers work always inspired me as well. His baby blue fridge was one of my favorite builds by him. Although, I dont think there was a build of his I didnt like and take something away from.

Chopped 40 Ford Sedan Delivery Traditional Custom
chris chabre replied to Ferbz's topic in WIP: Model Cars
here's my 40 delivery I'm building as a custom shop truck. My idea behind it is to display it with an early land speed car. The custom would be the push truck, tow rig, garage and sleeping area etc still deciding if I want to do full fadeaways on it or not -
