Crizila Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Started with AMT 32 Ford "Lil Viky" kit. Major kit bash and much parts box dipping.
TarheelRick Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Interesting build. Any pictures of the chassis?
High octane Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Started with AMT 32 Ford "Lil Viky" kit. Major kit bash and much parts box dipping. That's lookin' great John as I've seen Gabby drive several times back-in-the-day and he was "wild & crazy." It's no wonder he named his car Psycho.
Davewilly Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Looks very cool so far..Nice work on dropping the top Looks good.
modelfink Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Looks awesome!! The photo looks like he shortened the body. Or is that my eyes playing trick on me?
GaryR Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 He ran a Bantam body, not a Ford. Bantams are done by several Casters. I have a very nice one by Altered States.
Daddyfink Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Looks like you re-purposed a Tony Nancy Double Dragster chassis to make yours. That is a clever idea.
Crizila Posted February 3, 2017 Author Posted February 3, 2017 He ran a Bantam body, not a Ford. Bantams are done by several Casters. I have a very nice one by Altered States. True. The 32 Ford Vicky was similar ( a little longer ). Not sure if or how I want to address that yet. I did find decals for it through MW FASIG GRAPHICS ( Polecat Decals). I have no interior pics of this car, so making lots of "guesses".
Misha Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Really like the direction you're heading in John. The Vicky looks good with the chopped top and the stance on the chassis, with the open top and cockpit in the rear makes it look very quick! Be following your build for sure, it'll be a great addition to your stable of vintage drag machines.Cheers Misha

GaryR Posted February 6, 2017 Posted February 6, 2017 Here's a pic from Chucks Altered States website.
Crizila Posted February 15, 2017 Author Posted February 15, 2017 Moving right along, Sectioned the body about 1/4" to give it more of a "Bantam" look.
Crizila Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 Finished product. Except for the body, all else from parts box.
Snake45 Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 Accurate or not, it's beautiful and a nice piece of modeling. Well done and model on!
Crizila Posted March 1, 2017 Author Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks Snake, Ya, I contemplated dumping the Vicky body for a Bantam, but I decided to go with the Vicky and just section it about 1/4" through the front doors as I already had time in it ( chopped top, firewall, open top, and a few other mods ). It's a little longer than the Bantam and the rear is slightly different, but only you and I know .
