comp1839 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 i'm really liking this one darryl!!! very cool!
Mister Twister Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 Thanks for all the great comments guys! I really should clarify that I'm not going for a vintage, retro or even a swoopy current Pro Mod look on this build. I probably would have been better off calling this car a Top Sportsman because that class is full of dozens and dozens of regular looking cars that may have some body mods like a wing etc. and they still run in the sixes. I'll have more as soon as I can. Thanks again!
Nitrozilla Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Give me unusual any day of the week. You should see what's running around in my brain pan for when the 1955 Chrysler 300 gets released. Great start to what I'm sure will be an amazing finish Darryl.
tooltas Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 hey darryl did't color me gone last one that was more of a promod of 90;s and would be kool... love the older pro mods too
1320wayne Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 hey darryl did't color me gone last one that was more of a promod of 90;s and would be kool... love the older pro mods too The Color Me Gone Top Sportsman style car was a 65 Dodge. It also wasn't very radical as some designs have been. Not to say that it wasn't a cool looking car though.
Mister Twister Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 I've got a paint scheme in mind for this build but you guys will have to stay tuned for it.
vintagedragfan Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 going to be very unique Darryl , cant wait to see more of it, awesome work!
Mister Twister Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 I've worked on it some over the last week and got a Hemi engine scratched out and started out of the parts box and also picked out some nice wheels and tires. I've started some mods on the body like adding some wedge to it (lots to do body wise yet) and opening the doors. Thanks!
Bartster Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 I love these cars. You are doing much more than I dare to, but this is still inspiration to get mine going. Keep this one going please!
futurattraction Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Nice job so far Darryl... Looking forward to more updates...
eviltwincustoms Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Looking good, nice cuts on the doors. Now did that hard white plastic decided it wasn't going to cooperate and break or did you just reinforce it on the outside so it wouldn't break due to handling it? Because that looks like a very wise move to me.
Nitrozilla Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Keep it coming Darryl. Lookin' muy bueno so faro.
Mooneyzs Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Darryl... all i can is Wow! you are making great progress... looking killer man!
Mister Twister Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks for the great comments guys! Bart, it is hard to cut styrene sometimes but as fragile as it was to cut around the windshield pilar and lower rocker panel the front end did break loose which is not what I wanted to happen. But, all is well and the rocker molding wedge piece that I added will hold the front end in place. My plan is to display it with the doors open and just the hood off. Thanks again fellas!
comp1839 Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 great subject , darryl! i love this thing. can't wait to see what's next.
Mister Twister Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys, Wayne gave me a really modern Pro Mod type Hemi (last pic) to use on this build but the wheels started turning and I decided to use it on my next project which will be a Duster Pro Mod (sorry Wayne). So, I jsut started to detail the engine that I pulled out of the parts box and got some small details done. Edited January 23, 2012 by Mister Twister
Bartster Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 This is looking AWESOME!! Keep it coming. '60s Mopars rule.
oldscool Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I really envy you guys that can build these tube frames and keep everything aligned. Fantastic work! gus
1320wayne Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Progress is looking good Daryl. You use that egine on whatever project you like. I'm sure that it will look just as good in a Duster.
