tyrone Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Joe here's a few pics for you, I use staples to make my hinges, simple but effective...lol.. Edited February 22, 2012 by tyrone
eviltwincustoms Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Ok, so just to make sure, this build consists of the 69 Revell Nova kit, the Revell Chi-town Hustler and the 55 Chevy Pro Sportsman kits? Man... $60 just in Kits... how many of these kits do you have laying around? I take it then for the Motor you are using the Ross Gibson Sonny's Mountain Thunder motor or one of the Semi Hemi's all to the hilt with NOS then?
tyrone Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Bart. this build only consists of 2 kits, the 55 pro sportsman, and the yenko nova, the rear wheels on this one are from the olds cutlass prostock reissue, the front wheels are pro track wheels, these are just being used for mock ups right now.. not sure on what wheels I'm gonna go with yet.. and I'm gonna use the kit engine but I'll dress it all up, and throw some pro tech demons on it... Well one door skin down one to go.... Edited February 22, 2012 by tyrone
Mooneyzs Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Tyrone... man this build is off the charts. I sure have missed alot here. You sure have all of these pro mods down that for sure. I need to take notes for when I do my 1/16th scale pro mod build. I do have to ask you where did you get the front rims. they look like they are aluminum and look great too. Keep up the awesome work on this and I look forward to your next update.
tyrone Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks Chris those front wheels are from pro track, they are made for slot cars.. but work just fine on models.... thanks buddy...
Romell R Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Hey Tyrone what kind of 1:1 race car do you drive and can you post up a pic or two of it??
outlaw105 Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Nice work Tyrone and I think the vinyl will look sweet on it.
tyrone Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Hey Tyrone what kind of 1:1 race car do you drive and can you post up a pic or two of it?? Rom. This is my 68 backhalf camaro,...

tyrone Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks Bill, means alot from you bro...
tyrone Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 Whoa. That's a serious looking Camaro. thanks JIm.... it's been down about 3 years, just could not afford it, but hopefully she'll get to the track sometime this year...
baddgass Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Moer beautiful work out of Tyrones shop, COOL!
tyrone Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 alright fellas I've been working on the body mostly. I've got the door panels finished up, I added the moldings for the vinyl top, and I made a cowl hood from sheet styrene and fitted the hood scoop from flashpoint, thanks for looking and comments welcome....
crazyjim Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 ######. Looking good. Would that scoop setup be legal in real racing? I don't think you could see the right front fender of the car.
crowe-t Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Tyrone, this is such a nice clean build. Everything is fitting together like it was manufactured that way. Any ideas on the body color yet? Mike.
brett Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 wow ! that looks nasty, might be my fav of yours already. Killer Tyrone
Romell R Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Rom. This is my 68 backhalf camaro,... I Knew that was your car in the profile pic, And I see youve been here to Cali with it too. I raced on that track once apon a time. maybe next time your down this way I can come out and watch you run. Thx for the pics buddy
tyrone Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 Thanks fellas I really appreciate it, this one has grown on me too.... I'm not sure on a color yet but it will have the black yenko stripes and black wheels, I'm open for ideas on the paint though kind of wanted to go with a factory color offered on these....
tyrone Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 Rom, I've never been out west,, mainly my home track Carolina Dragway in Jackson SC. and Orangeburg Dragstrip in SC also.... the pic was taken at Carolina Dragway...
Romell R Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 Rom, I've never been out west,, mainly my home track Carolina Dragway in Jackson SC. and Orangeburg Dragstrip in SC also.... the pic was taken at Carolina Dragway... Oh my bad the track looks like terminal Island drag strip, well guess I shoulda looked at the south carolina tag on the pic LOL! i must be gettin old
Dragracer Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 The Novas looking good Tyrone,the vinyl top moldings look good. To crazyjim, yes that scoop would be legal, alot of the pro-mods are runnibg scoops that match-up with the roofline.
