Nitro Caddy

[brett]

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)

[brett]

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

Now that gonna be something different.

Great concept, Brett.

Looking forward to your progress on it.

[Rick Bennett]

Great idea and it looks like it is coming along great. I am looking forward to seeing this one progress!

[Foxer]

That's defiantly going to be a looker ... I love the proportions on it.

[Peter Lombardo]

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.

[brett]

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 ?

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!!!

[brett]

mocked up at our club meeting

Anyone have any ideas on forming the windscreen ?

[evilone]

this is cool. im a hearse fan and i loved seeing the 1:1 lol. where did you pick this up? as for the wind screen try clear styrene or modify a 59 caddy windshield

[John Pol]

When you buy a new shirt it has sometimes plastic in the collar.You make a front winddow from that.

thanks guys,as you will see I got it done. used thin clear acetate as a template then thicker blister pack for the actual windows.

[Scalper]

Looks pretty deadly. Interesting build.

[Top asphaltRods]

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.
