Great looking bike, I really like the cafe racers.

Nice work Dave, Are the boosters machined? They look like cast. P.S. i will take 2 in 1/16th please lol.

Chutes look great Rom, i was wondering how to do the chutes. Now i know.

Amazing paint work.

Doesn't look bad like that, but a hair lower in the back would look much better in my opinion.

Nice work on the upper cage Jack, What the heck is the first picture of?

Nice work on the chassis, stance looks good.

That thing is sick, Love the paint work.

I like where this is going Virgil. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Nice, I like the color choice.

Amazing work Bill, No wonder i don't get anything done on my build's, to busy on this site checking out amazing craftmanship like this.

Looking good Rom, Dash looks great.

Has that nice old school look, resin body ? what's going to be the power?

Looking good Tyrone. yellow with some silver or black SS stripes.

Never said they were, they were modified on a lathe, thx. For looking. Thx guys , It will be blue. Can't remember the exact shade.

I needed a little break from my pro-Mod so i started on this 66 impala, I guess you would call it a Pro-Touring. Not going crazy on this build, just want a nice clean build. Started with the revell 66 396 hardtop and some Mr Model photo-etched wheels, First thing is i wanted a deep dish wheel in the rear. In the first picture you can see the wheels are made to have positive offset front and rear, You can reverse the wheels but then you have a lip that won't match the front wheels as you can see in the 2nd picture, So i chucked it up in my lathe and cut a lip into the rear wheel to match the front wheel. You can see the results in the 3rd picture. The way the hubs are designed and with running a deep dish in the back the car will not have a rear, It has just a stright tube. Might use the stock engine and put a resin procharger style supercharger on it or maybe a Ross Gibson 502, For the body i sanded the molding off the side and filled in the windshield wiper holes and cowl vent. I put a coat of primer on it so far and need to do a little more sanding, Hope to have some color on it by wed.

I originally bought the 4-1/2" turbos which turned out to be way to big, I guess i assumed the 4-1/2" size refered to the inlet sizes which would be scale for a promod car which run 98 or 101mm turbos. I think they would have been more scale for a 1/12th scale car. So i now have the 2-1/2" which the overall size is in scale for a 1/16th promod car, But the inlet is smaller than it should be. I may be able to open it up a little more, you could probably even go with the 3". I'm not sure what they go by to determine the scale of the turbos. I'm still fighting with my passenger door, did some body work to it. Once i get that squared away and i decide how to mount my turbos and get the 2 halfs glued together and get some primer on the turbos so you can see them better in the pictures. Hope this helped.

So you let it dry complety first? then polish it?

Hey guys, Not sure if you Drag fans know this weekend was the march meet. Here's the live feed for the event. http://bangshift.com/live-broadcast-page.html

Stuff looks great Mike, Just put my order in. Joe

Super clean work.

Looking good derrick. Can't wait to see some color on it.

Ken you nailed it, beautiful work.

If your near a window you make something to vent it really easy and cheap. I used a piece of 1/4" plywood cut to fit the window with a 1/8" gap on each side then used some stick on weather striping to put on each end to seal it. Bought a cheap ($6) aluminum dryer vent that has a flap inside it and cut out the hole and put a thin bead of caulk under it and screwed it to the plywood. Just stick it in the window and shut it. works great.
