Chuck Most Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Started this last year, but just wrapped it up today. Body is a Revell Germany BMW 3/15 PS (which was built under licence to Austin- it was basically an Austin 7 copy, AND illegally copied in Japan as a Datsun, thus opening the door for this project), engine is a Fujimi Nissan S20 DOHC inline six, and the rest was coughed up by the spares box.

Erik Smith Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Cool Chuck. I love the look of those overhead cam Nissan power plants. Now take that S20 and put it back into a Skyline where it belongs. Oh, or maybe swap out the steel wheels for some Watanabes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingtoy Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Hell Yeah! Now thats what I am talking about! I had a similar thought, doing a basic ford truck cab with a 6 from a 240Z, wheels from a Corolla, maybe rear end from a Datsun truck and maybe seats from a Mazda RX-7.

krazyglu Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Uh your not allowed to do that, wait yes you can and you did. All of your stuff looks so awesome and this one is no exception. I Like how the Japan body, motor, right hand drive and plates are meshed together beautifully. I really dig this one Chuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartster Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 That's thinking so far out of the box you can't even see the box. Nice piece of educating, Chuck. Never heard this before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 wow that turned out very kool! nice job on cutting away those fenders! did you have a build thread going on it? Nope, never did a build thread on this one- I just kept an eye on yours while I was working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Lectro Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I love this one, Chuck! Excellent job. I think the engine goes great with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyglu Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Whole 'nother day later and I still love this thing I just noticed the steering wheel looks modern like the momo one in my car actually. Works better with that motor than a typical large hot rod steering wheel. You might just be to cool for your own good Chuck Most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
