The Mach V

[RodneyBad]

Finally found the Jada Mach V

The plus side.

It's 1/24 (or appears to be)

Hood & Trunk lines are not the same as the the Real (CarToon) one.

Haven't a clue where the put the motor (in the movie car)

So I'm winging it my way.

And it will have had a Rough life.

Thinking of using the Shelby Cobra chassis.

Since the 1:1 Kit Car is made from it.

So far I have just cut the hood off using the kits lines.

Next will be the trunk and a door.

Guess I should go find the Cobra next.

Interesting subject. Why Jada? I would think the others were a bit better in execution. In fact, I didn't know Jada made a Mach 5.

Well the other one seems smaller in scale.

I do have that one but wasn't able to find it but did find the Jada one

and it was cheaper and easier for me (my heart) to deconstruct.

But I'm still deciding how it will end up.

now dont quote me im not q professional

but i think the engine is mounted in the back of the car

from all the sneak peeks ive seen of the movie the fron is the trunk (like a bug) so that would mean the engine would be in the middle(impossible the interior is to big) or in the back(possible the back is HUGE)

keep up the build im going to watch this one. Btw is it dicast or plastic?

[RodneyBad]

I think the motor is in the rear, Mayabe I can squeeze one back there.

But the CarToon shows that Chim chim and Who's-it hiding back there all the time.

It is all Pre-painted Thick Plastic with NO chassis detail what so ever.

I might cut the hood to open up like a Corvette (red or black line)

I forgot how much fun it is to scrib open trunks, hoods and soon (one)door.

Scrib, Scrib, Whoops, scrib, scrib, Dang!, scrib, etc....!!......!!...

You Never know where this one Mach V will be Found.
