Matt W Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 This is my first in-progress thread here on Model Cars forum. I will be borrowing the intake, and maybe some other features from the ASC Diamondback viper shown here. I started with the most noticeable change to the car, the 10 velocity stacks. I used part of the kit intake and some styrene bar to attach the stacks to. They are Sakatsu turned aluminum parts. I'm fairly happy with the result. They could sit a bit higher, but are fairly close. I may raise the engine up a tad. There's still a ton of work to do under the hood, but I'm happy with the start.

Matt W Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Thanks for all the great comments guys. Rob - I haven't given much thought to the wheels yet, I usually like to do that after the body it painted and polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
