6bblbird Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Sometimes you just look at a part or parts and think "I can make something out of that!" That's pretty much what happened here. Resin body of unknown origin, some cool mags, a chassis and some engine parts. First mock up 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Looking at the body you are using, it looks very good, could it be from Replicas and Miniatures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked that body up so long ago at NNL East. Sorry, but I have no recollection of who made it. It is very nicely cast. You would swear that it is styrene.

6bblbird Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 I didn't go too crazy wit the interior because I don't think it will be able to be seen with the body on the car. WF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6bblbird Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 (edited) Sorry for the blurry picture. Front shocks were scratch built from aluminum tubing. I even made rubber bushings. Edited June 7 by 6bblbird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott8950 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Nice job on a very cool car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Very cool altered. These cars had very limited interiors anyway, so what you have is pretty much sufficient. I would suggest maybe adding a block-off panel dividing the interior from the trunk area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6bblbird Posted June 8 Author Share Posted June 8 The headers that I originally intended to use were ok but a bit small in diameter so I made my own . I think that the "bologna" slice is a nice touch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6bblbird Posted June 8 Author Share Posted June 8 The scoop, blower and the valve covers are all cast metal. They were actually intended to be jewelry! I only wish that i had bought more when I had the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
