Prostreet Posted May 31, 2012 Author Posted May 31, 2012 Thx. Guys, Couple of pictures of the exhaust outlet. When finished it will have a carbon trim ring around the outlet, I'm getting very close to being able to paint the chassis. So before i do that i wanna do all the door gaps next and get it out of the way then i can paint the chassis and get started on the intake.
brett Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Awesome work throughout the whole project Joe ! the headers and outlets look great, Are you going to put the upturned ends on them ? If you did them with a small internal sleeve you wouldn't have to glue them so they could be removable still.
Prostreet Posted May 31, 2012 Author Posted May 31, 2012 Thx Brett, They call that kind of exhaust exit "bull horns" I use to like that look originally when it first came out in the 1:1 world and thought it would be cool on a model because I never seen it on one, but I think it's kinda played out now, I like the way it looks now, much cleaner.
tyrone Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Fantastic job on the header outlets Joe... They stick out just the right amount too.... I'm not a fan of bullhorns either... I like those pretty blue flames shooting straight out the sides.....LOL.....
Prostreet Posted June 9, 2012 Author Posted June 9, 2012 Hey guys, I'm looking for some pictures of door panels preferably on a 57 chevy promod but any will do, Been searching all over with no luck. Not sure why i can't find any. Trying to figure out how to do my door panels.
eviltwincustoms Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) Here you go Joe.... serving up one 57 Chevy Drivers side door panel! Of course this one is far from finished, so not sure if this door will do much for you. Edited June 9, 2012 by eviltwincustoms
TedsModeling Posted June 9, 2012 Posted June 9, 2012 Excellent work, Joe. I can't wait to see the intake routing from the turbos. Headers are spot-on and the exit through the body is great. Wayne - thanks for the photos. We can all benefit from these.
Prostreet Posted June 11, 2012 Author Posted June 11, 2012 Thx. for the pictures Wayne and Bart. Haven't had much time to work on it, I have been doing alot of side jobs. Hope to have some up dates soon, Ted Thx. for the feedback and you have a PM.
vintagedragfan Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 I think I speak for everybody when I say we are excited to see the next update Joe!!
Mooneyzs Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Joe... you are doing one heck of a job on this build bud!! I love the exhaust coming out of the body panel..... Looks perfect!! keep up the great work!!
Slimbo5 Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 (edited) . Nice work man. Edited July 8, 2012 by Slimbo5
Prostreet Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 I have been working on this here and there when i have some free time, Been mostly doing body work and getting the door and front end lines good. Nothing worth really posting, I had some free time tonight and started on the wheel tubs, I wanted to get these done before i prime and paint the chassis. i have one roughed in and still need to add the back filler panel, I wanna make that part of the tub. They will be painted matte black and the tops will be done in carbon. I added pins to the chassis in 3 spots to make it easier to locate the tubs to the chassis for fitting and final assembly.
futurattraction Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 She's looking good Joe! Looking forward to more updates...
tyrone Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Looking good Joe... nice job on the wheel tubs so far....
comp1839 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 joe, the tubs are turning out excellent. well done!
baddgass Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Super nice work on the hold build. Keep the pics. coming.
ClayK Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Good to see you still plugging away Joe. Wheel tubs are about my least favorite part......but it's good to see you getting yours under way. Looking forward to seeing that chassis in paint! Clay
Davewilly Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Really Awesome build. I cant wait to see it in the end....I love how you worked out the headers and all ..it makes it killer! Keep up the great work!
Prostreet Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 Thx. Guys, I have the tubs complete, after there installed permanently i will add a little filler piece in the back center near the bumper. After work tommarow i hope to paint them flat black and add the carbon decals then get some clear on them. Also added a picture of my next project that i'm excited about, 1/12th Drag radial camaro, will be a big block with either a single turbo or gear driven procharger. I was talking to Ted (Ted's modeling ) and he contacted Tim a TDR and Tim drew up some really great looking M/T Drag radials, Just waiting for them to be ready so i can purchase some.
Prostreet Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 Wheel tubs are done, They were quite an adventure to get decals on and didn't turn out perfect, But for my first time doing carbon decals i think they turned out decent. There are couple small wrinkles in the one on the right and the black spot on the back of the one on the left somehow got scratched and didn't notice it till i started clearing them. I used scale motorsports decals and Model masters clear lacquer. Once the body is installed you can barely see much of the tubs, once they cure for a couple days they will get a light polish and the under side where the tire sits will get a dull coat. Hope to have some more updates tonight possibly.
