jay8allday Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 i like how this is turning out where did u get the engine from and are you using styrene sheets for the floors in the car and rear engine plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumper86 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Engine is a bunch of parts for a mock up , nobody makes a fontana hemi ( hint hint Ross Gibson ) lol. so I have to make my own . Yeas the floors are sheet plastic as are the engine plates as I clean up the whole build as one it will look better with time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp1839 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 robert, the chassis is awesome! i do have a question for you. do you make all of your own suspension parts? (i.e. struts, shocks, four link bars, rear housing etc. etc.) keep up the phenomenal work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumper86 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Thank you , Yes I am getting it to it more and more its seems with everything being handbuilt . I do the front struts rear axle ,4-link, shocks,trans,and now it seems engines as well lol. But I use Dirtmodelers 4- link brackets and brake kits are are way to nice not to use .
