Nitro Caddy

Recommended Posts

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)

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

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 B). 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 ?

B):blink:B):lol: 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!!!

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. ;)
