1980 big tire mustang rebuild “John wick”

[Toriano]

So a few weeks ago I was getting ready to put my old build up for sale then a paint can  can fell on it. This forced me to rebuild the car with the extra mclaren body I had, but I’m not going to sell it. I’m trying to step up my chassis skills with this build as long with the entire detail of the car.

[Toriano]

This is all the work I’ve got done so far, I’m gonna paint the floor plates separately than the chassis for the first time ever. Hope it goes well

Are you going to strip all that old paint off?

Yeah, once I get around to the body work 

[Toriano]

I started on the front suspension recently, and the motor plate. I still have a long way to go

[Toriano]

Got the inlets mocked up. This is actually the first pair of functioning inlets That I’ve done

I see that you have a few of these outlaw big tire projects in work in this forum.  Where do you source your turbochargers?

Trying something different on this exhaust, I’m loving the way it’s coming out

It’s been a while as far as updates for this car. I’ve got the 4 link all figured out, now I need to build the wheelie bars then I put the panels in and wrap her up

great scratch work,how did you do the splatter paint on the chassis...

[Toriano]

Walmart sells some iron paint for 6$ and it looks like powder coating

Walmart sells some iron paint for $6 and it’s looks really good, I’d use the rustoleum clear with it tho

[Toriano]

I finally got around to working on this some more and started on the wheelie bars. The wheels I ordered from protrack also came in and the look really good!
