Ira Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 (edited) I am starting another "Jim Keeler Dodge Fever" style Dragster! This one is a little different, its based on the Deal's Wheels Z-28 Camaro. The nose was sectioned about 1/8" and the body was made longer with sheet plastic cut to fit. I added an extension to the spoiler with sheet plastic. Comments or Suggestions Welcome!

Jantrix Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Very cool idea! I wanna see more. What chassis are you gonna put under it?
Len Woodruff Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Very kool Jim! Keep us update as to your progress!!
Modelmartin Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 That actually looks like it could be real. I never thought a Deal's Wheels car could become a non-caricature!
Ira Posted November 7, 2011 Author Posted November 7, 2011 I collected most of the parts I will need... The Slixx Skull Decals set the Theme, The Front Wheels & Tires are from Monograms Stinger Dragster. The Dual Superchargers are from AMT's 62 Corvette. The Dropped Front Axle is from the Pie Wagon. The Skull is from Revell's Evil Iron Trike. I am going to modify the Skull Deal's Wheels Style. This is the New Driver!!!
Camshaft Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 I really dig this! I'm going to keep an eye on this build for sure.
Ira Posted November 7, 2011 Author Posted November 7, 2011 Very cool idea! I wanna see more. What chassis are you gonna put under it? Thanks! I am using part of the stock chassis and a Belly Pan.
surfjunke Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 What a great idea, this really cool so far. Like it a lot.
Ira Posted November 8, 2011 Author Posted November 8, 2011 Very kool Jim! Keep us update as to your progress!! Thanks Len, will do! I like that! Thank you Dr.!
Ira Posted November 8, 2011 Author Posted November 8, 2011 Looks like a Mad Spy. Yeah, the Spy Nose is very aerodynamic, that was the inspiration!
Ira Posted November 8, 2011 Author Posted November 8, 2011 That actually looks like it could be real. I never thought a Deal's Wheels car could become a non-caricature! Thanks! Have you seen the new driver yet? He is going to be a real character!!!
Ira Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 I really dig this! I'm going to keep an eye on this build for sure. Thanks!!!
Ira Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 What a great idea, this really cool so far. Like it a lot. Thanks Scott!
Ira Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 I like it. Can't wait to see it done. Thanks Bob, glad you like it! More photos coming soon!
Ira Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 I cut out a rectangle in the hood to house the Twin Superchargers. Then I backed it with sheet plastic. I didn't care for the Supercharger Scoops that came with the Corvette so I replaced them with Shotgun Scoops from AMT Challenger kits.
Wayne Buck Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 That actually looks like it could be real. I never thought a Deal's Wheels car could become a non-caricature! I agree, Andy! The way some of today's Pro-Mods are starting to look, I could totally envision this car competing in the class! I'm REALLY diggin' the way this car is turning out.. Definitely unique and DEFINITELY cool!
Ira Posted November 14, 2011 Author Posted November 14, 2011 I made a Belly Pan for the front of the ZZZ-28 from sheet plastic and glued it in place. Then I cut a groove with a cut-off wheel in the Dremel Tool for the front axle. I used files and sandpaper to clean it up.
