69 Daytona Pro Mod 1/16th scale updated 4/3/12 ..It's a wrap!
Romell R replied to Romell R's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Its not ignorance on your part at all I did mention somewhere in the thread what I was gonna attempt to do. but to keep you from having to search endless pages to find it I'll be glad to try to explain it for you . the overall car will be a HOK Oriental Blue KK04 on the hood will be the Mopar "M" that will be under water it will look similar to this grafic the sides with have the word "Aftashox" air brushed down the side in this fashion There will also be steel vents air brushed in the sides that will be under water like the vents in this pic Now I know this all sounds confusing but that's just the way my mind works I hope you could get a mental picture. -

Job well done Brad, I really like the truck too, I had a Flying Cloud by Air Stream that was in the Wally Byam Caravan I sold it to a collector for a pretty penny, I thought you might like to see it. sorry about High Jacking your thread , just say the word and I'll delete this.

Nice Charlie I want a Donovan too but for my next project, And Charlie from Pro Tech is a great guy and Im getting some of those throttle links from him. Cant wait to see what you do with the Donovan. -
Hey Paul I just wanted to chime in and say GO FOR IT MAN! just jump in and do it , You can build a Pro Mod And with guys Like Dave, Greg ,Derrick & myself helping you out im sure you'll build a outstanding model, you already have the first thing you need and that was the idea to do it.That's where all these builds start, And Greg was right building models are therapeutic , I know because I broke my hip back in 2002 (fell from a 5th story balcony) but building (I Believe) got me back on my feet a whole year sooner than my doctor said I would. I wanted to share my 1/16th Pro Mod build with you. I started off with a Flash Point Body . And yes this is my first but I had great guys who were willing to help me out. http://www.modelcars...showtopic=44578 I hope you enjoy

Ok I got the fenders widened but I still need a tab bit more room so I cut the body down the center and install a wedge that will give me 2mm more on the sides heres the fender with putty on it Here's the wedge installed now all I have to do is make it all look like its not there. see ya on the next update -

Welcome aboard Shawn And you should be able to pick up a fresh new box of Kleenex at the forum entrance Henry the mind altering drugs come from years of inhaling paint ,glue and thinners which can be picked up at your Local Hobby Store Thank Interceptor for giving me the honor of being you first post , and welcome aboard. Well fellas I'm into the part of the build that I like the least. Body work! not that i cant do it I just rather not do it . Any way i had to widen the rear fenders to make room for those huge FlashPoint tires. Here's what I did to get it right. Originally I was gonna cheat and just move the wheel opening out a few mm. but I felt like I was cheating so I went a better route instead I cut out the wheel opening and made a whole new fender that brings the fenders out 4mm on both side cut down to size.... see ya on the next post -

Jim thx for putting me at the top of your endearment list glad some one likes me enough to notice Thanks Tyrone and keep up that excellent work you do Richard Yeah I was bummed too, and hope you get those detail parts soon. Well fellas I was able to get the front brake assembly started so I thought I'd share what I have so far. Hope you enjoy I started by soldering a cap onto this piece of brass tubing then I cut the tube down to 2mm and marked off the center for later drilling the piece has been drilled out and marked for the fastener holes here the rim has been drilled also to mate the brake rotor finally the rotor is added, all thats left is to paint it and add the lug nuts of course i'll clean this up before it gets painted. Come back soon for more. -
Need some painting help

Hey Jim I think a clear coat might be your answer, or maybe even a coat of future. -

Nice jig Chris ,but go with making rear lips for your rims no one will ever see the inside of your wheels, so who's gonna know (besides us here watching the build) that the rims are in two pieces. keep up the good work buddy -

Hey Greg thx for the compliments my Brother from down under, and you keep up the excellent work on the 69 Camaro I was able to get the butterfly doors on and they did indeed work, but they are way to fragile I kept breaking the setup so I decided I would just glue them shut other wise it would just been one more thing to worry about when traveling. so with out further ado here's what I came up with. I hope you enjoy. Here's the injector hat drilled out and the hinge wire being fitted the four separate butter fly doors cut from brass here's the setup before I broke it the first time.... finished and final setup Yall come back now ya hear -
