cobraman Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Looking forward to following this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustyMojave Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Looks good so far. I'm hoping to see race car style wheels and tires on it rather than dubs. I built a 68 GT500 kinda like it back in the late 60s. Big fender flares, wide tires and wheels, lowered stance, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 That could turn out quite interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheels and tires are fromthe Revell Porsche Mobil One GT-1 EVO kit, along with the rear wing that will be narrowed a touch and the brake rotors and such.... I'll scratch out a front chin splitter too!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta realign it and put it back on!!!! Was working on getting rotors and wheels and tires set and oops ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I like the look of this, especially the Mach III body sides. Very aggressive appearance. I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Later-. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee66 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 This'll be a great transformation! The body looks like it was in a Mad Max film, in a previous life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted December 21, 2017 Author Share Posted December 21, 2017 Thanks guys, got the frame clip back on and working on ride height again!!!!! I’m thinking of going all gloss black on it!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKerry Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Looking for a set of wheels and tires for this hot rod, the ones I have I'm not to keen on how they look under it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustyMojave Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 You might add rims outside of those centers to make the wheels deeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be kool but probably not how it’ll be!! Sorry!!!! Lol ? Think I have the wheel issue figured out now!!! Found a set of more aggressive wheels that look pretty good under it so far!!! May have to flare the fenders more and will be cutting the front fenders more to get this at the ride height I want it at!!!!

DrKerry Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Well I either had an epiphany and took this to another level or I killed it and will send it out to pasture!!!!!! But as most of you know by seeing my builds I like them slung low!!!!!!!! In order to get the rolling stock to fit drastic measures had to be taken and the results are below!!!! Had I left the body alone and not cut it, it would of looked all jacked up in the front end and I didn’t want that!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codi Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Well Kerry, you took the leap so I can't wait to see how you blend in the front fenders. It's fun to visualize it at this point, hope it works out for you as it has a ton of potential. I think it's an epiphany. cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKerry Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Front rotors are mounted, now I can start to reconstruct the front fenders!!! Been a bit slow at this point but it is moving along... Tape is in place to hold front clip together as there isn’t much support in it right now!!! Only two strips about an 1/8th of an inch holding it together!!!! Edited January 16, 2018 by DrKerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
