caine440 Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 As done as it is going to get. Thanks for everyone's comments during this build.
Jeff Sauber Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) Beautiful work, thats a real nice version of that car. Looks like you got the stance just right.... Spraying a little clear dull-coat on the chrome wheels would give em a brushed aluminum look of the old centerline wheels that seem to be on the 1:1 car... In any case, thats a super nice job you did on the model. Edited February 26, 2010 by J. Sauber
Dragline Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Outstanding car Caine! I've been watching this build and that is a unique car to have on the shelf. How many have one? What's the next project? Bob
caine440 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Posted February 27, 2010 Up next is a Motown Missile Challenger. WIP photos can be seen here. Thanks! http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=28158&st=0&p=269668&#entry269668
my name is nobody Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 This is a beautiful build up. Not many racing Volare's. everything looks perfect as always. another wicked Mopar drag racer for your shelf.
Old Buckaroo Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Wow Roger - That is one Sharp Volare. I could not find the build up on it - what kit is the body from ? I also really like the color of your Carbs. is that a custom mix ?
Kris Morgan Posted February 27, 2010 Posted February 27, 2010 Outstanding job on an often over looked car.
caine440 Posted February 27, 2010 Author Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) Thanks for all the kind words and great advice. The car started from this kit. The decals were done with great help from many on several boards. One board member put in a lot of time and effort and the car would not have been possible without him. I just had to size them and print them. The carbs are painted with testors model masters 1796 jet exhaust and then washed with black detailer. The chassis was a modified from a Pro Stock Olds kit. There are some nice Pro tech parts used as well as some Competition Resin parts and a Ross Gibson motor with wonderful MAD distributors. Thanks again! Edited February 27, 2010 by caine440
Fuel Coupe Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 That looks great. What do I have to do to get a set of those decals
Blake Rogers Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 my man a wonderful car yet again i know my motors but i never seen one with 2 distributors before???? i don't get it lol but a sweet car once again man keep it up
spkgibson Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 Your build looks great,I wish I knew someone to print off a set of Rod Shop decals for me for a 71 Demon I want to build,Looks great my friend!
caine440 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Posted February 28, 2010 Yep. The early Pro Stockers(I Think Dick Landy was the first to do the twin plug heads) were a T shaft and later ones were mounted side by side. Thanks!
caine440 Posted February 28, 2010 Author Posted February 28, 2010 I changed it by using a couple of MAD distributors joined at the shaft.
RodneyBad Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 That is One Awesome looking Volare. Excellent work I LOVE IT!!!!!! If ya ever need a new Home for it..
dencon Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 That is a very nice looking model. something you do not see at the shows. You nailed the "Different" and the "Gottchya" factors. Nice work. I have seen the duel distributor set up both ways many times.
