  1. Windows … prop not I’m not spending a lot time on this build it don’t have to be perfect to a 1:1 car imo I’m just doin a fun build and want to spend a max of 2 weeks on this build …. the front aprons prop so since simple mode ….. I will delete the vent windows tho as the 1:1 that inspired this build is a one piece door window….I still have to decide on white wheel centers or the pepper red ?
  2. Thanks the Porsches are traded now so the mine copper and the 1/32 nascar are what’s left if anyone is interested I’ll trade for a glue bomb or something that interests me thanks guys for the great trades I appreciate it
  3. Engine done and installed wired her up did dual 750 cfm carbs for the ole 514 cid FE stroker built a set of 180 degree headers and the front part the exhaust . Still have a ton to do and detail but it’s getting there …. Paint front inner fender bottom sides tomorrow and install coil overs to get stance just right hope y’all enjoy thanks
  4. Any updates on this … I just finished my land speed Daytona and just wanna say I wanna see more of THIS ONE !
  5. Imo I dislike the surfboard wing but a nascar inspired duck bill might fit the bill im currently doin a mild pro touring fairlane and also thinking of a wing of some sort … can’t wait to see more
  6. Love it ya just motivated me to build a few my vws thanks
  7. Thanks it was like 97 percent done so did not do a wip on it …. It’s a big cube tractor pull mountain motor hemi (650 plus cube like the 650 billet or Sonni engines even tho valve covers are not perfect to those engines ) but I’ll finish it this week prop and do a under glass with the specs and such thanks
  8. Ima make a test wheel ….. where the center can come out easy cause i have nuff ugly wheels with bigger style lips that can help me make some more sets like this
  9. And I may do a random change…. Pepper red wheel centers? Not sure but that just popped in mind to break up some the exterior white cause a pepper red lower strip would piss me off cause it would be straight and level and the body line is not…. On the things I hate about the 1:1 cars lol
  10. Didnt get a lot done to this one today as I finished up the land speed Daytona and got the yellow Belvedere just about finished but did get the inner fenders shaved and painted and mocked up the front stance … hope y’all enjoy
  11. I have a few sets I sent a dm too
  12. Thanks appreciate it wish had lil more detail but oh well
  13. Got a lil bit done this evening ….Decided I still wanted a bench but added a fold down arm rest with cup holders…. Choose pepper red for interior color and added some flocking and modified a bucket console to fit the bench…..have to figure out a steering wheel detail the dash and column set up … pedals ( if just being basic or PE foot pedal) and maybe a magazine or something to add some pop to the interior….. started on the engine just got stuff painted nothing assembled did make a batwing oil pan for it. Also forgot I did a mild shaving on the firewall all the oem not needed wiring and regulator ect just left the heater box but did smooth the box up some and made it nicer. Still have to decide if inner fender structure will be gloss black or pepper red ? My whole goal is to teach my son some simple build mods that don’t take a lot of time but make a big difference and keep the aftermarket parts to a minimum. Showing him the K.I.S.S. Mentality so he knows ya don’t have to spend tons money and order parts to make a kit pop. Welp y’all have a good evening more to come tomorrow thanks y’all
