  1. Hey thanks, yea I chopped it long ago for a project i never really started, it just didn't look right as tall as it was since the body is so narrow. I have been rethinking the fuel injection, but im not sure yet, ill have to mock up some different things to see what looks best.
  2. After looking at a lot of the cars on this forum I decided to build something different than I usually do. This is just a random add things as I go kind of car. My first idea was to have it be a mid engine car and the body would tilt forward, but the body itself is just too small and couldnt fit a motor plus an interior. So I'm just keeping it simple... ok not necessarily simple, but atleast the motor is up front now. I chose a Fors SOHC motor for this, it's funny because I'm a Chevy guy and all my posts on here so far have been Fords. ha, but anyways I always thought Ford's cammer looked pretty mean. It'll be fuel injected with some rediculously long stacks and a pair of zoomies to give it a dragster look. I'm probably going to paint the body flat black and maybe put decals of some sort on it, maybe flames or pinstripes, who knows. With that, what would you call it? Could you call it a rat rod because it sits low and will be flat black? Ehh, I guess it'll be a rod of some sort. haha welp if you have any suggestions let me know! Ok, here's the frame that I'm piecing together, I'll probably beef up the front frame rails a bit to hold that cammer. This is the first time i really have gotten into this much customization and Im still learning and I'd like to thank everyone for all the input and positive comments!
  3. probably 12 or 13 (which wasnt too long ago...haha) but I believe my first model was a 1/20 Baywatch Toyota truck... it was quite the build.
  4. I built this a few years ago, the stance is a little funny and i dont know why I mounted the rear bumper to the tailgate, but hey i was like 16. haha
  5. Does anyone have anymore pics of this car or know what motor he ran in it?
  6. I may be missing something, but if that's Dale's T-Bird, why does it have a Chevy motor?
  7. Hey thanks! Ive been by Shenandoah quite a few times, I used to take Highway 2 over to Nebraska quite a bit, but Humeston is right in the south central part on highway 65
  8. Thanks!
  9. Hey guys, whats the best way to post pics on here, i just did it that way, but how do you get bigger pics on here?
  10. Well I'm 19 now so I think I buit this when I was 17. Just thought I'd share it and get your thoughts on it.
