martinfan5 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Clint's Mobil One Ford , ran this at Daytona and the Homestead test, this is for that test we will say, Powerslide decals, Tamiya paint, TS26/93 lowered the ride height, added fuel lines, adjustment bolts, plug wires, did the low DF spoiler, added a few of the missing roll bars and the front splitter and the dummy bumper camera pod.
bbowser Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 You've got your groove going with these Fords Jonathan. I hope Clint can get going in 2018.

MarkJ Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 Another awesome build, Jonathan. Looks perfect. I wish they would come out with a Toyota. Have you heard anything?

MarkJ Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 Not happening That's sad because I wanted to use one of these kits as a donor for the chassis but the resin toyota body is based on the diecast and 1/24 scale diecasts are bigger than these revell kits so it will look funny.

I agree, I am very sad about it, and I just dont care for Diecast's

MarkJ Posted November 29, 2017 Posted November 29, 2017 Since the snap kits are so cheap now , $9.35 at hobby lobby, i'm going to take a ford and try to turn it into a Toyota. The current arca Toyotas are still like the 2016 nascar Toyotas so its worth a try. The chevy would probably be easier to convert but They were all sold out at the two hobby lobbys I go to. If it doesn't work i'm only out 10 bucks and some time. if it does work I'll get a new glue kit, probably a chevy, and do one of those into a Toyota.
martinfan5 Posted November 29, 2017 Author Posted November 29, 2017 Good luck, I thought about trying that as well, I think you are better off using the Ford over the Chebby,

I think the Ford's overall nose shape is closer to the Toyota over the Chevy's, oh yes, its going to be a real blast
