moonlite5hadow Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Definitely not for ford fans! This supra, like the GTr was sitting in its box for months. i got to building it, and noticed i was missing the tires. unable to find anything else, i grabbed a set of slicks i had lying around, found a chevy motor from revell's 79' Z28, and made it work. the engine is just sitting on the suspension plate of the supra, and only ahs an upper radiator hose. a current project of mine will be an expiriment in detailing engines (its a twin turbo Ford 427). the build was fun, and as simple as the exhaust is, i like it. solder, once again. (solder has become my favorite model building tool...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyBad Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Not for Supra fans Either. ha ha. Looks quit different. Import American? Black and Chrome is a good Combo. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordh8r Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Good job on the build. looks good from here. The solder idea is great for the exhaust. I've even used a smaller diameter solder and then with a round metal object I rolled the solder flat to make engine brackets for the alternator. Now the alternator doesn't float in mid-air via the drive belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike1357 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I always wondered what something like this would look like. You pulled it off nicely man. I love the look. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlite5hadow Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 we should race diymirage! you should see my next project; a twin turbo, intercooled, ford 427, 4wheel drive 2009 GT-R. then i plan on a twin supercharged 427 something... not sure on the chassis for that one yet. definitely import though. most imports, to me, look good with good old fashioned american muscle poking through the hood. i have a tamiya nismo 350z that might get that twin supercharged 427...

moonlite5hadow Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 if i were taking that thing on the strip, i'd just shut of the engine and sit there. if i dont get in front, you cant shoot! that would be an interesting group build/build-off, but i dont see too many imports built here as it is. seems to be mostly domestic cars built by forum members.
