futurattraction Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Hey Tyrone, What struts are you using on this build? They don't look like the regular Revell pieces that come with the kit chassis you use for your builds. You're keeping Revell in business just with all the chassis you use! LOL Also, I really like the way your "tin work" is coming on this build. Keep up the great work! Edited December 2, 2011 by futurattraction
tyrone Posted December 4, 2011 Author Posted December 4, 2011 Thanks for the comments fellas, well I've got the trunk floor finished up, and the doors are hinged and hung, I also have started making a place out front for the fuel cell and fuel pump, thanks for looking and comments welcome...

Hey Scott the struts I use are the ones from the revell kit I just modify them by cutting the portion off with the spring and top mout on and make my own strut body from styrene rod and tubing, springs are made by wrapping wire around a piece of tubing..sorry the pic is not the best...

Prostreet Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Looking good Tyrone, Hope i can get my doors to fit that good when i do them.
Mister Twister Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Another winner on the way Tyrone....Keep at it!
futurattraction Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks Tyrone. I knew they weren't "stockers" but now that you describe them, it all makes sense... Great job on your progress, by the way! :-)
eviltwincustoms Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Looking good Tyrone, Hope i can get my doors to fit that good when i do them. I know right... he does an awesome job, I keep coming back and looking at his amazing work. Tyrone, so just to make sure the Wheelie bars are those stock from the 55 chevy or do you extensively modify them?
thumper86 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 here's a few more.. That right there is the money shot series right there folks! Beautiful build.
tyrone Posted December 5, 2011 Author Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks for the comments fellas I appreciate it, Joe, and Brad one thing I did on this build was add the very thin piece of styrene around the doors and the body areas where I made my cuts with the hobby knife, I was very careful when cutting them out, but by adding the styrene, I was able to make sure there were no gaps, with just a little sanding. I think this made a huge difference, thanks again fellas...
comp1839 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 tyrone, your cars are always special to me. i love your choice of bodies and drivetrains! always a treat for me to look at!!!!
tyrone Posted December 8, 2011 Author Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) thanks for the nice comments fellas, really appreciate it... Chris I've seen your work on that 66 chevy nova, whatcha got cooking....lol... Bart I use the wheels only from the kit wheelie bars and on the upper bars that come with the kit I use the brackets that attach to the rear end housing, but I drill new holes on the top of the housing to mount them, the bars and everything else is styrene rod. #222. here's a pic of the ones on the 69 outlaw prostreet I just finished..

tyrone Posted December 11, 2011 Author Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) hey fellas,, with all the great builds going on here, I did a little bit to this one yesterday, I finished up the chassis and shot some titanium paint on it, I got the inner door skins finished and got a coat of primer on the body, thanks for looking and comments welcome... Edited December 11, 2011 by tyrone
1320wayne Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Looking better and better with each update Tyrone.
Prostreet Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Looking mean Tyrone, Decide on a color yet?
W-409 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 This looks very good so far. I like the frame work, and now when it's painted, it looks really good. Body looks very good in primer too. What kind of engine are you going to install? Blown Methanol, or huge engine with NOS? Or TwinTurbo?
Truck parts Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 WOW!!!!!!!!! What a mean looking car,and it's not even done yet. Looking forward to seen it painted,and decal.
comp1839 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 looks awesome, tyrone!!!! do you ever think of building in any of the larger scales?
jay8allday Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 this look awesome im learning from yal builds to build the chassis before putting the motor in thats where i messed up great stuff though
