Abell82 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Rather than starting a new project, I dug up this one. And realised why I had put it away, I have no paint scheme or engine ideas for it!! It will need a BIG engine to go with that big hood, any suggestions? This body was from my junk box, it had been previously built, before I performed a bit of body work to it.. I made the hood for it, but it turned out a bit MORE than I meant for it too!! The windows are "well glued" hence the masking tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roadkill2525 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 How about a chamelon paint job with a Ross Gibson pro street engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogs29 Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Black. Definetly black....maybe with some semi-gloss black wheels. That would be sinister. As for the engine, how about something along the lines of the Matt and Debbie Hayes Thunderbird Revell did years ago? Twin turbo with some custom air intake piping to fit under that scoop.

LDO Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 a boss 429 mill, with mechanical injection( with short stacks) converted to efi( add the injectors and fuel rails)...... Wow. That's exactly what I was going to say. Use the old Monogram Pro Stock/Pro Street Thunderbird engine. Strip the chrome or gold off the valve covers and use a metalizer-type paint on them...or go bananas and smooth them out and cover with carbon fiber decals. As for paint, I'm partial to purples and blues. Check out Irvin Arter's '50 Cadillac for some nice color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelmartin Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 For a mill I would go with either the 4-cam Indy motor from the MPC Eagle or a SOHC motor from the AMT willys. Just me. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 i would say a pro-street ross gibson motor. And the black on black with the black wheels sounds mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abell82 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 I have an idea, but I need a 00 Cobra R rear spoiler. For it to work, anyone know where to get one in 1/25th scale? The only one I can find is 1:18th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygre Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 There's enough room under that seriously domed hood for the huge valve covers of a Ford 427 SOHC and man, would THAT be a righteous sight in that 'Stang's engine bay or what! BTW Andy's right about the SOHaCk motor in the AMT '33 Willys. It's the best representation of that classic mill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
