Ry4ns302 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Building my first "pro touring"-type model. A 57 Corvette street Machine and a '98 Indy Pace Car is what I'm using. Trying to figure out which way to go with interior. Got the stance and the drivetrain done so far, I'll add a turbo next: Big Block )a litle too big...just means a custim hood cutout Edited January 15, 2012 by Ry4ns302
Patrick2005 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 that'll look awesome when its done. love the idea keep it up man!!!
Modellpularn Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Are you really going to have the engine that high??? Must be a way to lower it, 'cus that isn't good for handling - if it was a real car. The only thing that looks good sticking up through a hood, is a chrome blower....
Leadworks Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 This is a Good Build....after the color is applied...and a few odd's and end's takin care of...you';ll have a nice Vette....keep up the good work
antonesv Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Looks good. Are you using the pace car rear trans and suspension?
Thor Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 nice project. Btw do you have more pictures of the Thunderbird in the background?
Ry4ns302 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) nice project. Btw do you have more pictures of the Thunderbird in the background? Sure, I have a few, its a Ricky Smith Pro Stock-converted to Budget Pro Street, almost done with it: Kept the Hood white, to look like the unpainted fiberglass hoods that guys leave on...plan on adding a big cowl to it.

Ry4ns302 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 I don't know how to take that "line" running through the fender where the molds meet out, without ruining the finish on the paint.
Ry4ns302 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 I am acually using the entire chassis/interior mold from the pace car, I figured it would make the driveline an easier fit. Well the driveline fits good, but I had to "fabricate" (Hack out with dremel) about half of the underbody/frame/interior mold. I want to use the pace car seats but it won't line up with the center peice between the seats, I'll figure it out
