brett Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 been working on this since I finished Toms cuda, Flashpoint Resins body, topsportsman (modified)chassis, resin funnycar engine and four speed lenco. Aside from a little work around the windshield top the body's pretty good, a little thick in places but pretty good overall. As said using a modified (lenghtened) top sportsman chassis,cut off the wheelie bars and made my own using the kit ends (wheelie wheels) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Not having any removable body panels (1 laziness 2 body as mentioned is a little thick in places) means I'm not going to super detail a lot of the engine or chassis but have done a bit on the top of the engine so far couple of gratuitous mock-up shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondo Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Now that gonna be something different. Great concept, Brett. Looking forward to your progress on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Bennett Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Great idea and it looks like it is coming along great. I am looking forward to seeing this one progress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 That's defiantly going to be a looker ... I love the proportions on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lombardo Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Whoooo...this is really different. I love the engine work and the chassis. This will get a lot of attention at a show, that is for sure. Looking forward to seeing the body, once painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Thanks, will be busy for a few days so progress might be a bit slow, I know what I want for the paint job, pulling it off is another thing . Biggest hurdle to overcome will be the windscreen, thinking might be better to do before paint then mask rather than risk the proposed paint job afterward's ?

W-409 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 COOL!!! Must get that body, it's just so nice. I can remember last summer in Nitro Nationals, Alastaro, here in Finland, there was '59 Cadillac Pro Modified. This one, Badillac. Yours is looking even better, because it's not normal version, it's panel!!! I'm watching this one for sure!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 This is stunning! Very nice job with it. I like the paintjob very much, and that detailing is very nice. It's wild ride, but that's only good thing. Very nice work with it, keep it going. Can't wait to see, what is coming next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
