Looks like as nice start to a fun project, but if its gonna be a Pro Modified you cant use that chassis. The chassis you have will make it a Pro Street. Looking forward to your updates.

Thats Sweet!! Just makes me want to go HotWheel shopping

Ok so here's what the splitter looks like all done and connected And I figured while I was at it i'd drill out the scoop so I can start on the working butterfly doors Hope you'll return soon....

Hey fellas I have a few pics for ya , I got a lil more of the plumbing done I had to make a "Y" splitter to lead fuel lines to the top and port fuel blocks here's how I accomplished that. I started off by soldering a piece of tube to a square piece of tube then two smaller pieces of round tube after cutting off the excess this is what I ended up with Well almost at my picture limit so i'll save the rest for the next post.

This is soooo KOOL!!!

Excellent!

My hat is off to you Bill excellent job so far I'm loving watching you make all the necessary corrections to make it right. I always say "If it ain't done right why bother doing it?"

That's one sweet hot wheel Mark ! Can I have it ? LOL! No seriously Can I have it ? No I'm just kidding,...... I'm not if you're gonna give it to me Keep up the good work Bro.

Here's a couple with the pump plumbed. Hope you enjoy come back later for more.

Great Job Mark! cant wait to see more.

very Impressive Antonio keep it up buddy

OUTSTANDING !!! keep up the great work, and continue to share what you learn with others that's the foundation of our hobby.

I'm not totally convinced that the dremel incident was a accident, I think this was a well thought out plan carried out over 10 years to turn that ugly dodge into a sleek beauty. LOL! cant wait to see how this diabolical plan turns out MUWHAHAHA !!!

Here's the Blower belt guard i made from brass I'll paint it tomorrow Come back later for another update

Hello again my friends and thx again for the great compliments. I got some work done on the motor not quite finished but its started. Hope you enjoy the pics needed to fab a throttle body so i pulled out the trusty soldering gun and got busy again these are the fuel lines that will run from the fuel pump the one in the center is slightly bigger this will be the main line fuel pump installed decided to do the fuel lines in black , used a black sharpie for the job here you can see the line attached with belt on also come back later today for more up dates

Oh ok i got ya, I didn't take offense, I just wanted to warn you about those who might tho , I build lower riders too, (well used to) and I know that the majority of the builders here can appreciate a build no matter what it is. Keep up the good work. Oh and dont worrie about those guys that get mad about the rare Johan kits , cause just what is a model kit? its a box of plastic untill someone builds it and turns it into a work of art.

Excellent tutorial Nick keep up the outstanding work. Oh and don't let the" Know it all" ruin it for you.

Cesar I can only wish I could take credit for those rims, but i cant they were made by forum member Micro Nitro. I got those from him before I got the mill.

Sorry but i haven't seen anyone with a bad attitude about low riders on this forum I think you may have us mistaken for those other guys. And that's a bad way to get started on a topic. You want to be inviting , not seeming that you don't care about others opinion. Just my view. Oh and good start on what should be an excellent project!

I just wanted to let you know someone knocked over you bike in the drive way. And when are you gonna show the pics of this build you been goin on about ?

Talk about a sleeper!

What Stars

Thanks for the comment s fellas I'll be away for the next two days (I'm in a hotel room right now) so I wont have any up dates until i get home. Have a great weekend Romell

Ok Let get some primer on that body, but avoid getting it on the new dent panels because we want that metal to show later on, once you have the primer on to your satisfaction shoot your color coat but this time you want to paint the entire car dents and all. now that you have the car painted get ready to mess it up. WHAT? you thought we were done? I never said this would be easy get out your coarse sand paper and start taking off the paint on the dent panels dont remove it all just get the high spots leave the paint in some of it. And sand from front to back NOT up and down, If you do it correctly it will have a sideswiped look to it. you can add detail to the dents like bent up side trim lights hanging off missing mirrors, broken door handles, add a panel primed up. Ive done all that on this car I hope this helps in you car crashing ventures

So how would you like to make dents that look like your car has been hit by another car ? I made the car below about a year and in the process I developed a process of making real scale dents. before we get started i have to post a legal disclaimer (Aftashox , Romell Robinson, MCM or it affiliates cant be held responsible for lopped off fingers and toes ) now on to the tutorial. OK here a small list of things you'll need to do this right 1. you need a victim or a body 2. the ol trusty Exacto Blade 3. a Dremel or Roto tool of some sorts ( you don't have to have it but it'll make the job a lot easier for you) 4. coarse sand paper 5. sheet aluminum .016 or thinner the thinner the better (not too thin though you don't want to used aluminum foil) Now to get things started lets select an victim for our experiment im gonna use this old Nova body (ok you got me its not old) ok we need to figure out where we want our dent or dents. I want the door smashed so I'll cut a piece of aluminum sheet the size of the dent i want. Form the aluminum to the proximate shape of the door. ie if there's a body line bend the sheet the same way. Take your panel and KNOCK some dents in it with something.Don't go over board most dents aren't crumples. Now place that new panel on you model and trace the shape onto the body, and cut it out DON'T cut on the line , but cut just inside the line. We want the new panel to fit snugly in the cut out section of the body. here I have done one the correct way (the door) and one just a tad to big( the rear panel) which one do you think is gonna be easier to blend in? Allll righty then now get your putty, body filler, Bondo whatever you use to fix body's and smooth in those new panels, keep in mind it doesn't have to be perfect. I added some small drilled holes to simulate the often seen dent puller holes of mid repair cars of the 70's & 80's, you can also bend the aluminum add holes where the mirror should be or the door handle. Notice my panel is slightly raised to simulate the door being shifted a bit. part two is up next
