“Snake Bitten” Sidewinder full custom

[Silvercreeker]

The Sidewinder “Snake Bitten” is done.  This is the recent reissue of the old Tom Daniel Rattler.  The heart of the serpent is the “What If” Dodge Slant 8 Warplane motor from VCG Resins!!!  The body was assembled before paint to allow for smoothing the body seam that runs all the way around the cab.  Doors were scribed in the rear with Iceman Collections door handles added.  Hood louvers were removed.  The Wild Straight 8 motor was painted Gaia Star Bright Brass, and Revell Chrome.  Details are Detail Master plug wires and coolant hoses, and Pro-Tech sparkplug boots. The rest is that amazing motor from VCG Resins!  The crazy wide “Richard Carroll type” tires are from Ron Olsen 3D products as are the rims.  Disc Brakes are from the Revell 32 Ford.  Color on this reptile is MCW Paints Color Shift Red/Gold Enamel for the slithering appearance!  Headlights and taillights are Woodlite Models from Iceman Collections, again for an evil look!  George Barris used these lights on many of his wild creations.  Inside the cockpit is a Pistol Grip shifter from Ron Coon Designs, gauges from Slixx decals and an 8track player from Iceman Collections. VCG Resins provided the universal joint for the aluminum driveshaft. Shackles were added on the leaf springs with Tichy Railroad bolts.  Futurattraction Springs were used on the re-worked wheelie bars, and the rear wing is from a Chrysler Concorde.   A full custom build to go along with the Box Stock Sidewinder built at the same time. Happy Halloween!

They are magnificent. I am not a fan of the Tom Daniels Models, but I think you have changed my mind about them

Bodacious looking rides Scott.  That Dodge Slant 8 Warplane motor looks Super kewl.

Beautiful paint and body work. The engine is the center piece, and the detailing is realistic looking. In real life those really wide fronts would give you a workout trying to turn but they sure look good.
