Sidewinder “Snake Bite” Slant 8 Warplane

[Silvercreeker]

The American Graffiti Coupe is done so I thought about taking a break, but I had this mad scientist vision!  The Tom Daniel Sidewinder/Rattler, some Rom Olsen crazy 60’s wide tires and the insane VCG Resins Slant 8 “Warplane” motor. And, in this vision I saw the new bottles of MCW Finishes Chameleon Red/Gold color shift paint. Here we go with another crazy Show Rod. 😂

Cool start! Looking forward to how it shapes up.

Ohhh this I am following! Love the start so far!

Getting some color on the block and headers. Really love the Revell Chrome. Worth every penny. Happy Labor Day everyone!

OK. This is gonna be seriously cool.

AWESOME!   I love it!

I think every showrod looks amazing with Richard Carroll tires (or something similar) swapped in.  Great start - engine is cool too!!

What color is that gold on the block?  It really pops!

Gaia Star bright brass over Tamiya metallic black.

This is off to a great start.

That engine is wild. Is it a replica of a real slant 8 or a flight of fancy?

It’s a fantasy of the Mopar Slant 6, in a “what if”. It’s from VCG Resins. Very cool

Tires and wheels all sanded and true, ready for paint. Fitting the block is going very tedious but making progress.

Super cool build! I like!
