66 twin turbo nova... I need some help with drag radials...

[Outlawracing]

started working on the cage got most of the back half done, I cut the fenders and doors off and I'm thinking about cutting the deck lid off as well. does anyone know where i can buy an intercooler box like the one tyrone had in his turbo mustang a while back? comments and tips welcome?

Looks like you're off to a good start.  I have no idea where Tyrone's intercooler might have come from.  You could PM him and see if he can provide you with any leads.  Keep us posted with future updates.

I like where this is going.... I made my intercooler from sheet styrene and added resin weld decals from Archer decals, and painted it with alclad aluminum... It was not that hard to make one.. not to high jack your thread but here's a few pics..

Hey guys I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while, being that I'm only 13 football season come up on me fast and I wasn't able to get much done, but in the last couple weeks I scrapped the removable front clip body and got this new one, cut the doors and trunk out and from the inspiration of thrones 66 I widened the quarter panel wheel well. Im going to use the stock dash but I filled in the bottom and I'm going to drill through it and run the turbo intake tube through it. That's for looking, all comments welcome.

Very nice work. Great scratchbuilding. Looking forward to seeing more.

[Metaldrumm]

Very nice cage work, gonna b a sweet car

[blackbeard]

I agree this is gonna be a sweet build

[Outlawracing]

Hey guys ive got a question. Is there anyone who produces a proper drag radial? I'm building a few drag radial cars that I will be posting with in a weeks time. And updates on the Nova are coming tonight.

[John Pol]

Yes fireball modelworks makes a couple different size ones

[NYLIBUD]

These are some of the different sizes of slicks I usually use.The one in the middle is from Pegasus hobbies.They are top fuel tires.They are the largest tires I've ever found.But I haven't seen any lately on line.I've gone to Pegasus Hobbies site,but I never see them.They come with wheels,and yellow/white colored Goodyear decals.I can't remember where I got the slicks on the left.Ive got a bunch of those.And the smaller tires on the right,are from a 1/24th scale diecast pro stock car.I don't know if this helps at all.By the way,Great job so far on your Nova.
