Here is another ongoing project that has found it's way back onto the workbench yet again. For anyone that has already seen any of this one in the past I did a search of this forum and I guess I never entered anything on it here. This is a build that I started at least two years ago and it has found it's way on and off the bench for different reasons. And, since this Summer has been a little frantic and I can't seem to concentrate on just one build at a time, (modelers ADD) I decided to go back to work on this one. This is a Dodge Magnum Revell kit being converted into a modern style wheelstander. The first series of pictures is the mockup of the body and where I would need to make any cuts to the design of the body to work it into a wheelstander. I molded the hood into place and then cut out a new hood insert for access to the front suspension and any onboard electronics and battery. I also angle cut the rear quarters to make room for the larger tires as well as giving the body the ability to perform the wheelstand. And, I cut the rear roof forward to make room for the rear mounted engine. The grill openings were also cut out for mesh to be added later. The tires and wheels are from Comp. Resins and Pro Track slot cars wheels anodized in purple.
