38special

Thanks guys. i've got around 5months of work in the dodge.

I had a great time this year at NNL Nationals. I came for the theme class and entered a couple normal builds in other classes as well.

I had a great time this year, bought some great stuff and showed a few cars. But judging is a little odd. One class i entered a guy won with a closed hood and an all flat black interior. The class was not curbside either. There was alot of cars in the class with opened hoods, alot of detail and scratchbuilt parts that did not place. I put this same thing on facebook last night but it disappeared this morning. I'm not bashing but just wanted to let everyone know my experience

nobody has any pictures?

anyone take any pictures?

Lol paint, putty, glue. It all usually ends up on my hands by the end of the night.

Thanks guys. From doing this build i found out i need to work on my interior weathering more.

It looks great. But i'm just going to throw this out there it'd look even better with some headers coming out of the hood,some mud tires,and welded up doors lol. But no you really did a good job on this.

Yea its definetly a challenge thanks

Its prolly around 1in. or 1 1/4 althread in 1:1. Not uncommon on a demo car. I believe they are 1's. The zeros are smaller but the nuts are the same. Besides it looks better then a piece of roundstock shoved through the hood....

Here is a 62 bird i recently finished up. I scratchbuilt, the whole interior/ leafsprings, and theres a whole lot else that i had to build. I used the frame,body,firewall,and front suspension from this kit. The rest is either from the parts box or scratchbuilt.

Yes discoduck78 is a very good person to deal with. Very fast shipping

LOL yea i actually finished it up this morning for a contest today. i worked on it until 3am last night and woke up at 7 and finished it before i left at 9.

i still have to rust some more on the chassis

Heres some more progress.

I know you've already kind of started on a frame but have you tried a Amt 67 impala frame and tub? I believe its the same width so all you would need to do is buy two and combine them. You would also need to modify the rear rails though. Just a thought

Haha yea i might come up with something for it. This is a nice change from building demo derby cars

Yea the rust may be a bit to much but i figure for i believe a 75 van? It would about right. I've actually seen the rockers gone to where you can see inside the van lol.

Thanks guys. I'll have some more pictures up tonight

Here is a van i've been working on since sunday night. The business is my dads and hopefully one day i'll have my own. This van isn't perfect by no means but its a good start to a everyday workvan. He actually drives a 98 dodge van but i thought this would be cool also. I have some scale 3 and 6in. pipe cut into 10ft. lengths to go on top when i get it finished up.

Picked all these up the other weekend

I seen some of my junky derby cars in one pic lol. I had a good time and bought alot of stuff. Next time i think i'll show up later instead of 8am.

Well here is what my derby city shootout car looks like as of right now. Got a long way to go before saturday but i'm planning on it being done

I've almost got my car done for this. Going to bring out a pacer wagon
