Diymirage's class of '10

(in order of appearance)

"chicken of the sea"

1971 plymouth hemi'cuda

Some custom options include a 426 hemi fed through 8 carbs running into a log manifold (from the 396 firedome hemi) a set of spyder rims, a superbird wing and a custom 6 inch AARC hood

Next up, a Pontiac grand prix

This is a nascar kit turned lowrider

This model is chuckfull of modifications but some highlights are the scrathbuild headlights, the custom flipflop hood with scratchbuild hinges, custom decal (on the hood) and painting on the rest of the car.

The mill is a crossbarrel 302 from a camaro and the taillights are kitbashed from some import

(the vinyl top is painters tape)

Our next graduate is a 1971 dodge charger R/T

Nothing special here, OOB kit with only plug wires added and painted the same colour as the accents in my sons nursery since I build this one to go on his shelf

I did take some freedom in the interior paint scheme

1969 camaro Z/28

The main characteristic feature of this model is the paint scheme. It was based on a bike I had ages ago where the idea was to be less recognizable by the cops, I mean, think about it, half the people saw a red car, half of them saw a white one J

Power is provided by the kit supplied twin turbo 350 (may be a 302 not sure)

And just so they don’t feel left out, here are some guys who need to take some summer classes in order to graduate but they just might before the end of the year

1975 dodge dart

1970 dodge superbee mated to a remote controlled chassis

“wildcartâ€

An early VW bug converted to a front engine (custom turbo’d GTI mill) rear wheel drive pick up truck

Acura RSX type-S

Build this as a drift car

It’s a dual engine all wheel drive machine that really only needs the exhausts build and put on to be finished

almost forgot this one

its a dodge dually converted to one single rear rim per side with a mickey thompson tire on each

its a curbside so i added the shaker to make it look like it runs a hemi and custom build the toolbox

[Chuck Most]

I love the R/C Charger, and how could I not dig the VW Beetle pickup? Very nice work.

[diymirage]

thanks

i just finished foiling and clearing the R/C superbee last night so there is a good chance that one will be done this year

the bug im having issues with the interior with

i had it pretty much done so i put in the glass, firewall and floorpan and then the dashboard and steering wheel came undone so im not sure how to fix it now

nice work . I always liked the hood on the grand prix.

nice work . I always liked the hood on the grand prix.

quite a bit of work went into that one

half of the detail is in the paint, half in the decal

not to mention getting the hinge perfectly lined up so the hood looks good open and closes well
