dust collectors

Unpopular opinion but I like kits molded in certain colors, Light blue and yellow in particular haha. Makes the body work portion take longer for sure but looks cooler as the model comes together.

This is a really cool build with great attention to detail. Thank you for sharing.

Looking forward to more updates on this build, it's looking awesome!

Thing is really shaping up nice!

For someone who hates doing interiors you're pretty good at making them look good. This is a cool build and I look forward to following along. Thanks for sharing.

That's the plan! Might source some bigger turbos depending on space under the hood.

Right on, so it'd work either way. But since I'm using the Stealth running gear the 5 lug is needed

You're really turning this into an awesome build, nice work!

Started this one a while back and am hoping to get back to it once I wrap up my D-50. I'm trying to fit the chassis, motor and running gear of a Dodge Stealth under a Dodge Daytona and also lay It out as low as possible. So far I shortened and narrowed the chassis from the Stealth and removed some of the Daytona floor as well as gutted the Dayton engine bay. Originally I was going to run the Steelies looking wheels since they were 4 lug like the Daytona but the Stealth being 5 lug I decided on the five stars. Added bonus, they resemble the aftermarket wheels that came with the kit. Thanks for looking.

Rather than getting hung up on the tail light issue I decided to turn my attention to the interior. Everything has been painted and I made some floor matts to cover the rather larger ejector pin marks on the floor. I started to weather things a bit and will do a bit more. Might even add a bit of trash to the passenger side floor. Thanks for looking.

Really digging this build!

Update, the Puller Blazer, HD Ford and Matador kits are no longer available.

Nice work! It's cool to see the side by side comparison of your improvements vs the original kit. Thank you for sharing.

Really like what you're doing here! Looking sharp.

Tried again last night and got a little closer to a possible solution although not quite there. I'm going to make one more attempt and if I get a bit closer I'll cut the top red portion off and paint the amber on the clear and glue them in place. Either that or I leave them all red and start wrapping this thing up. Thanks for looking.

That's where my head is at too, I might have to just leave them alone. Going to give it a few more try's and if need be just keep it moving.

Picked up a couple of these from Norm a while back. His work is top notch. Yours is looking pretty good! Looking forward to see how you finish it, are you planning on using the fairing?

Attempted to make the bottom portion of the tail lights using a back window from an old s-10 kit and also a sunroof from the parts box with no luck. I scored the plastic with an exact-o knife to try to mimic the detail on the 1/1 truck. I heated them up a little and tried to bend them to fit the contour of the kits tail lights and they broke. I made several attempts with no luck, hoping to try again later tonight. If any one has some tips or suggestions I'd love to hear them. If I can't figure out a decent solution I may just go with the inaccurate all red lenses from the kit just to keep things moving along since this is supposed to be a "quick build". Thanks for looking.

Not much progress today as I only had about 45 minutes after work to mess with it. Managed to get the rear shocks mounted as well as the front sway bar. Mocked up the drive train and altered the angle of the drive shaft a little bit to make up for the lowered suspension. Hoping to carve out some time over the weekend to see how the body fits and if all is well begin weathering the chassis and get this thing closer to finished.

Managed to sneak another hour in at my studio after work. Didn't get a whole lot done other than mounting the carb on the motor and a little dry brushing on the chassis with some neutral grey. Still not entirely sure what to do with the tail light situation. If I'm going to go in on those then I started to think I should probably open the grill as well. I included a couple pictures of the front end mocked up. Thanks for looking.

This thing is really shaping up! A lot of really impressive work, looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing.

So far this is looking pretty rad, looking forward to seeing this one unfold.

That thing is looking tough! Nice work

Had an hour free so I tried to make what progress I could. I was able to get the turbo glued in place, couldn't help my self and had to hot rod this thing a little. In the photo you'll see part of a tooth pick, that's there to hold things in place a bit while the glue dries. Also mocked up the tail lights. Not really sure what to do since the real tail lights aren't solid red but have some amber and clear. This being a "quick build" I don't want to get bogged down but it does bother me. I have a few ideas that may work but would love to hear any suggestions as to how to remedy this issue. Thanks for looking.

I'm not really sure what I'm doing, kind of shooting from the hip. I practiced on a few junk bodies and that was a huge help with finding out what might work and also what absolutely does not. One thing I wish I did with this one was a base coat of red primer.
