    olde ford

    did this one a couple of years ago , first attempt at a dio though most of the effort was directed at the truck. The tree is made from copper wire strands which were wrapped with and old bandage and dunked (litterally ) in a bucket of old paint. The foliage is some sort of fake plant I pulled apart. there some close up pics here http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v392/awesome55/40%20ford%20junker/

  10. Eelco, Essentially a 0.030-over 350 with a 3.750-inch stroke, the 383's extra cubic inches are almost free when compared to the cost of retaining a stock 3.480-inch stroke. Gone are the days of digging up a 400 crank out of the junkyard and grinding down the mains to fit inside a 350 block. The 3.750-inch stroke small-block Chevy crank, whether cast or forged, is one of the most popular aftermarket cranks ever produced. Furthermore, the relatively short stroke allows fitment of rods up to 6.125 inches while still retaining 1.000-inch of compression height with a standard 9.000-inch deck height. "The rod bolts will hit the cam whenever duration exceeds about 220 degrees at 0.050 lift, but a small base-circle cam eliminates that problem," explains Judson Massingill of the School of Automotive Machinists. "Other than that, when using an aftermarket oil pan, the only other clearancing required is some minor grinding at the bottom of the cylinders when using a factory block."

  11. wow !! great job Chris
  12. Thanks guys, this oughta keep me motovated Jason, I dont know if I'll be abale to impress you, but I'm willing to give it a go . Now I know the camaro's tail light panel is pretty iconic (not sure thats the right word ), but its not going to work on a car that if the tail gates laid down cause they wont be seen. I have a couple ideas that I'll be trying out so no its not an after thought, just a I'll get to it soon thought lol.
  13. Hey Doc, heres my latest paint (with the dreaded ladies perfume, lacquer )
  14. Wait what ? found a pic that inspired me online the other day so started the hacking and wacking business again. Revell 69 yenko and AMT 65 chevelle. Had to cut a wedge outta the wagon roof but it fits pretty good. Will be using all the camaro running gear, just need to do some interior modding and just for a giggle on the pro st cuda chassis

    74 Cuda

    decided to go with the huge lakers, finished up the fan belt and made a roll cage
  16. Foiled again and polished
  17. drug this one back to the bench, and put a coat of Dupli color metal specks red over it. I'll have to redo all the BMF but some of that was pretty shabby anyway. I'll give it a day or two then give it a wet sand and polish to smooth out the paint a little more

    got the foiling done yesterday,and polished the paint. Made up the exhausts not sure about those tho. Lake pipes or just dumped out the sides?
  19. I really need to get my chit together, everytime I'm about to embark on a new body someone beats me to it, last 2 times its been you lol. Body looks great so far .
  20. The Revell Olds Pro Stocker chassis is a really good fit under the 69 novs from memory, and has a lot of the bar work you need

    Thanks guys,Got a bit more time to do some modelling today,so after a few hours work it looks almost the same .need to redo a front seat as I changed colour and it lifted some flocking anyways, drive shafts on headers are on one side so far, glass took a bit of modding to fit ,head and tail lights are in blah blah heres some pics
  22. with a little trimming the sportsman chassis can be made to fit almost any thing, the nova is a little harder to adjust because of the way its made up ,pro spotsman based builds
  23. Aaron, any more pics of the Goeske car? that looks great
  24. Beautiful job Mike ! that paint looks SMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH Baby
  25. oil breather tubes, they go to a collection tank (puke tank) through the chassis rails ( I think)
