Thank you for being forgiving about my English my friend ... besides being a fantastic place to share our skills, it is also a good place for me to practice Shakespeare's language! A pleasure and a win-win situation!!! ? Speaking twin turbo engine you will have to be patient...lol
Steve H Posted August 17, 2020 Author Posted August 17, 2020 If you are a car modeller, you HAVE to be patient. Your English is awesome, I assure you it's 1000 times better than my French!! This certainly is a wonderful place to share and learn.
Mattilacken Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Man what a nice build! One of my favorite builds on this forum!
Zippi Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 That is some good looking old school muscle right there. Nice color and those twin turbo's look ready to spool up to smoke those big ol meats in the rear. Nice touch with the detailing in the trunk. Great job man and nice stance.

I appreciate your kind words. Forgot to mention in my PM to you that the paint is actually a very dark blue on this.

Good ol pro street build, still love the pro street look myself. If I was doing this again, I would use mirrored turbos for more symmetry under the hood, but I’m still pleased with it. Good news is I have some mirrored turbos now for a future build….
TransAmMike Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 I don't know how I missed this one. Wow, that is a fantastic looking car Steve, and the detail, just WOW!!!!!!!??
Reuhkapelti2 Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Outstanding work. I've built some twin turbo engines too to my models, but oh boy your set up looks so real. And the whole model looks really great. 1
Claude Thibodeau Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Hi Steve! Wow, first glance at this beauty for me... I'm late to the show! Very nice, the stance is great, and the space under the hood must be as scarce as in downtown Vancouver. It gives full meaning to the word "packaging". Bravo! CT
Dan Hay Posted November 12, 2021 Posted November 12, 2021 Looks fast! I love the plumbing job on the twin turbskies.
Keef Posted November 13, 2021 Posted November 13, 2021 *picks jaw up off floor* THAT is a BEAUTIFUL G-body!!! 1

The stance on this one turned out really well I think, as you know, I like ‘me low! Things were a little snug under the hood. 20 hours ago, Dan Hay said: Looks fast!

Bills72sj Posted November 16, 2021 Posted November 16, 2021 My comment? All of the above. Great build.
Draggon Posted November 16, 2021 Posted November 16, 2021 This is an education on pro street stance. Everyone building a pro street car needs to look at this. Perfect!

Perfect! Hi Glenn. I appreciate you taste in stance!! I like ‘em low. Everyone has their own idea of “perfect stance”, this is mine. It often makes for a bunch of extra work, but results are worth it to me. Thanks very much for your enthusiasm. It’s nice to see this build getting some attention, pro street isn’t the trendy look these days but I still like the look. You might like this too?…. 1
Draggon Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 @Steve H that's really nice, and that stance is MEAN! We have the same taste-yes a lot of work, but I think it makes or breaks a car, whether model or 1:1.
Mr. Metallic Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 Wow! I love this body style, and I've had a similar pro street build designed in my head forever. Very clean and well done build. The engine and stance are killer.

This is a kit-bash of the 83 Olds, Hay’s pro street T-bird, and ‘67 Chevelle pro street. I grafted the tubs from the 67 Chevelle chassis to the front of the Hay’s T-bird. The Chevelle also supplied the base 396 motor. The intake is from the T- bird with resin twin turbos feeding it. Engine is fully wired and plumbed including NOS injection. Carbon fibre inner fenders. The wheels are modified rallye wheels from the Olds kit. The Olds interior parts were modified to fit, seats are resin Recaro units. The trunk is opened and hinged. Aluminum tubing for exhaust tips. oh ya... it’s lowered, I like em low. Hope you like it, comments welcome Love the modified Superstock III wheels. How did you modify them? Thanks.

Hi David, and welcome to the forum. I cut the barrels off of some deep dish wheels that I was never going to use, and added them to the rallye’s. Made for some good looking “factory” wheels.

Thanks for the kind words, I think these cars make awesome looking pro street cars. I’ll be starting a new pro street build soon… 1
