xs650shawn Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 Had a little downtime from work. Extended the front subframe to correct the wheelbase. Also fabbed a rear wing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Eric Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 That spoiler is just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I think the rear spoiler should be off the back like the Dart photo earlier.ย ย Just my opinion.ย ย Would give it a nod to the new tech while front has the nostagia.ย Had the Bird originally been designed for drag racing, might have had the lower spoiler?ย Idk...

It'll probably be further off the back. I just put it on where it would stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubbs Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 sweet build. looking great so far. this may help out a little. this was my johan superbird. there was a wedge taken out of the middle of the body to narrow it, a section taken out to shorten the body so it would fit on a pro mod chassis, real body bumps for tire clearance, custom made wing plus the spoiler out back. traded it off a few years ago. going top be a real nice build. i will be watching. sorry for dropping so many pictures, hope it helps with the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JoHan wing is actually in scale for both manufacturers. This is the Monogram Superbird with JoHan wing. Wait a minute!!!! This isnโt a real car?? I had to look for several minutes to see if it was real or not ๐ณ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
