baddgass Posted October 28, 2010 Author Posted October 28, 2010 BigEd that drawing is great. The one I'm doing looks nearly like that. Roni drag the pic of your over.
baddgass Posted November 2, 2010 Author Posted November 2, 2010 Did some rework on thr wing & the front wheel opening.
pharr7226 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 The detail on that engine is very impressive. Is that a Ross Gibson engine? That thing is huge! I love the idea of using a Caddy as a pro mod. Keep up the great work.

Rob Z Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Derrick, between yours and Jerome's this is going to be absolutely AWESOME to watch...
baddgass Posted November 3, 2010 Author Posted November 3, 2010 Thanks Rob. But after seeing the pics, i don't like that wing, just looks fun to me some back work.
Rob Z Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Thanks Rob. But after seeing the pics, i don't like that wing, just looks fun to me some back work. I was going to be nice Derrick and not mention it but, yes it does look a bit akward on there... Shorten it up a bit maybe...
baddgass Posted November 4, 2010 Author Posted November 4, 2010 Rework the wing, i don't know, tell me what u thing.
John Teresi Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 I like the re-work on the wing......look`s killer man
Modelsbyroni Posted November 4, 2010 Posted November 4, 2010 WOOOO. Way better. I missed that second wing, but that third one looks on the mark.
Rob Z Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I think you got it Derrick, looks MUCHO better...
Terry Sumner Posted November 5, 2010 Posted November 5, 2010 I gotta ask.... Is that engine actually in scale? It's freakin' HUGE! Almost looks like you've got a 1/16th scale engine in a 1/25th scale body. Wow!

Almost looks like you've got a 1/16th scale engine in a 1/25th scale body. Wow! FREAKIN HUGEEEEEEEEEE! Yes it's the wright scale Terry, it's a 1/24 Ross Gibson eng. with a high hat.
djsmadplastic Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Rework the wing, i don't know, tell me what u thing. The wing doesnt look like a winged express ironing board anymore(just messin). Looks 110% better. Please take this with heart your motor looks great but its overpowering the car.
Dragracer Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 The wing looks alot better, I think the reason it looks so big is because of how short the back half of the car is (from behind the rear tire).
Brutalform Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 I too thought that the Gibson engines are too large. I was going to use one in my current 55 Chevy project, but opted for an engine that came in the Sportsman kit instead. The blower assembly is almost as large as the driver would be in the car. Don't get me wrong though, it does look great, and the detail is second to none. Nice work!!!

Thanks for look in Derrick This is weird because I actually do race cars w/ my father & have seen up close A real Promod, let alone for the past 15 yrs. Been around the race track for about 30 to 40 years. No ones being serious, just giving input & opinions. Keep building strong & hard. You are good.

Home Boy like i was saying it's a model, i can build it the way i like it not the way u like it. But if u like to get in to a pissing match, i'm a retire mechanical engineer was a jet engine mech in the NAVY. Had 3 race car run super pro, and a low 10s bike. And as for over powering a car with a blower, u can over drive or under drive it to make power. And i get 45 yrs. of being around it. So if u think u get the nuts bring your best to SYLVANIA, OHIO NNL NATIONALS and i'll bring mine, this coming yr. is drag raceing. SO check with RONE he knows me, and come on down. LOVE U Derrick aka ( BADDGASS ) Edited November 16, 2010 by baddgass
