Twin engined rail

[bobcrozier]

Gonna try for a quick build here. Inspired by Barry Price's brilliant multi-engined creations. i jammed together two AMT Garlits Wynns Chargers. Gonna be injected rather than blown. Tyres are from AMT's Street Freak Mustang. Gave them a good sanding down in the power drill. Sidewall profile a lot more realistic plus a smidgen of crown on the tyre.

Scratchbuilt the injector intakes. Just in the process of forming the throttle linkages. Not gonna go too heavy on the detail, wanna make this a quick one.

Made the chop here!

Gonna have some gussets reinforcing these joints!

Got plans for this front end which may include the Corvair engine from AMT's Parts Pack!
