Hippie Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 today i started cleaning alll the old builds, this is the revel kit, probly built it around 5 months ago. this car kinda has a little backstory, if you care here it goes: (if not just sroll down) As most people know in the 60's dodge and hurst teamed up to build 50 pro stock dragcars, but they actualy built 51 the shop forman, for the shop that was usilized for the work wanted his own,he snuck a extra trouht the shop and ended up wiht a crazy machine, He had the normal build done to it, new suspension, a diff, new body panels, ect. but they didnt' strip the interor, he left the stock trim. the only other diffrence from the normal pro stocks was the cheater slicks in the back and the base bages were left on. with he creation almost complet he had it send down to florda. the windows and trim were still in the trunk when it arived, there he planed to change the pro stock front window with stock glass and finsh the car, but unfortanly he never got the chance, in fact he never even got engough time to change the tires to slicks, he was killed in a bizare trafic acedenc caused by a circus truck before he even got out of michigan. now to reality i tried building this thing didn't turn out perfect but it was built over 2 weekends. And a shout out for the zombie build. thanks for looking and what do ya guys think.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Erik, that last picture just knocked me down to the floor. That's pure eye candy. The whole scene is beautiful, including the models, of course. It clearly shows your versatility as a builder.
Hippie Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 thanks man, and i have been meaning to tell you sorry for stealing your dirama idea, i sall yours and was amazed, then tried to build something simmilar, its not done yet, most notable i need to paint the cinder blocks in the back.
tyrone Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 This is a spectacular looking build and the engine shot and the diorama put it over the top.... great job Erik.....
george 53 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 It's SOOOOO good, (How good was it,Johnny?) That I had to look close to see that it WASN'T real! The warehouse is PERFECT!!! There were areas inside my old plant that looked EXACTLY like your dio! It came out GREAT!!! The engine compartment looks REAL good!
Dominik Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 This scenes with the car looks so real - Perfect Erik!
crazyjim Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 The Dart, the zombie thing and the dio all look most excellent.
