JTalmage Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Two turbos. One in front of the other. Small snail spooling big snail. Sticking up in place of where that blower/hillborn stacks would go. With an air filter on the front of them. now that would be wacky.
jjsipes Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Use the dual overhead cam 426 out of the 70 Superbee that the hi-rise intake came from for something different.
exesivefire Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 Use the dual overhead cam 426 out of the 70 Superbee that the hi-rise intake came from for something different.that's a good thought that has crossed my mind actually...
exesivefire Posted January 12, 2016 Author Posted January 12, 2016 Well, I think this should do.. straight to crAzYtoWn 1
Belugawrx Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 EXACTLY what i saw,... in my minds eye,.... .... dusty in here
exesivefire Posted January 12, 2016 Author Posted January 12, 2016 Remade the stacks.. Better this time I think. I also made a blower intake while I was at it, I like tall and crazy apparently.
crazyrichard Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 aha crazy indeed !! .. love it ..it also would look cool just straight / next to eitch other , more serious ... but nah just keep it krazy like this hehehe !!
exesivefire Posted January 12, 2016 Author Posted January 12, 2016 Trust me.. If the paint idea works out, krazy will make sense
exesivefire Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 Today I moved onto the rear suspentuon. I cleaned up the axle tubes to remove the leaf spring pads, then built a crossmember at the rear and moved the leaf springs inward a bit to make room for those big tires. while that was setting up I moved up front to the inner fender wells. Those need to go. tons of room for headers now!
exesivefire Posted January 17, 2016 Author Posted January 17, 2016 I've been getting really lucky on this one, I'm sure I'll pay for it by saying this. But some builds fight me start to finish, this one I've been pretty lucky and things are just falling into place. Tackled the ladder bars tonight, first I started with the rear bars from the new 29 roadster kit then made a crossmember from coated wire. a little trimming and I'm in business, I might add some more bracing to the bars, I'll play with it a bit tomorrow.
silo1483 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Remade the stacks.. Better this time I think. I also made a blower intake while I was at it, I like tall and crazy apparently. this would look cool if the stacks were different sizes going in different directions
wayne swayze Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 This is my first look at your Cuda, and I like it ! The only thing I know about gassers is what I've seen on this board.....and they're cool !
exesivefire Posted January 17, 2016 Author Posted January 17, 2016 this would look cool if the stacks were different sizes going in different directionsthey are?
exesivefire Posted January 17, 2016 Author Posted January 17, 2016 Working on the wheel wells this morning, had to make them a touch larger since I opened up the quarter panel. Also had to fill in that hole from the area I carved out.
exesivefire Posted February 8, 2016 Author Posted February 8, 2016 Got a set of headers thanks to JollySipper, so I was able to move forward on some other things. First I addressed the holes for the hood hinges, since I won't be using a hood, I won't be needing those. after that I cleaned up some mold lines, scribed the panel gaps deeper and started priming stuff. I'm happy with how the chassis turned out considering all the holes I had to fill and the wheel well mods. Can't wait to start shooting it with color.
Belugawrx Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 they are? I know right ?!? Thanks for the tip on the cross member ....man this is looking great Keep On Cheers
MrBuick Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 This is an awesome idea, and I love the work so far. I'll have to keep an eye on this build, as I'm getting a lot of good tips and ideas from you. BTW, those stacks look amazing!
