Scale I Build

Found 1 result

  1. I don't normally build drag cars even tho I dig them alot, especially vintage stuff. My usual build topic is traditional customs, but I came across this cool rendering of the High and Mighty Ramchargers drag car by artist/designer Chris Piscitelli and it inspired me to build my own scale version! With the help of a couple 3D printed parts from forum member Steamboat(thanks again!)who has already built a bitchin' faithful scale version of the High and Mighty car, I am able to move this project along. Just for fun I thought I'd try building a shoebox ford version of this car. The plan is to keep the aggressive, caricature-y look and spirit of the car, but use a 49 Ford coupe body. I proceeded to chop the top by removing some material from the A,B, and C pillars and fill the rear quarter window openings to make it a 3 window coupe, somewhat similar to the look of Chris P's rendering. I slid the rear window and catwalk forward so the A & C pillars would line up, making the top not only lower but smaller. The stock AMT 49 Ford frame required some modification to accept the gasser suspension from the Revell 57 Ford wagon kit as well as the AMT parts pack Chrysler hemi motor. The wheels/tires are from various other kits. The rear seat area was boxed in using sheet styrene, a single bomber style seat is a parts box item, and a simple 2 or 3 point roll bar will be added. It's got a ways to go, but a quick mockup shows the progress and direction so far. Wish me luck as I venture out of my comfort zone and build this whacky drag car! ?
