The plan was to replicate the Hotwheels "Mild Mill" 32 Ford..

This started as a Revell 32 Ford,, i lengthened the front fenders, chopped the roof, shortened the cab and filled it, that was the front half.

Then i used the rear part of the chassis from a Top Fuel dragster, the engine is from the S'cool Bus kit, and scratch built the scoop.

Flat floored the original part of the chassis, and used some huge aftermarket wheels on the rear.

Pretty well, the only thing i have not touched is the hood.

Paint is Auto acrylic with hand brushed flames.

   This sure isn't something I'd generally be interested in, but Dale I'd say you did one heck of a job replicating that Hot Wheels Car! Nicely Done.

Could not have said it better myself.

Makes me wonder tho - with the "Moon" tank on the front of the grill and the engine/Nitrous tanks out back, what's under the hood?

Wow, that's nuts! It must have taken a ton of work to re-shape the front fenders like that. I think it's cool that you've retained the overall proportions and styling of the Hot Wheels car. Really cool result :D

NOTHING.. :)    Just flat floored it to fill the void. 

 

Thanks men, just got bored with the same ol'....... and wanted something different, and it was a very enjoyable build too.. B)
