comp1839 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 tyrone, i'm just trying to guess what you have in store for us this time. every new build turns into my favorite build. hehe. keep us guessing!!!!
tyrone Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 Thanks fellas, I got a little bit done on this one tonight,, I got most of the bars in the trunk area done, and I also got the wheelie bars done... thanks for looking and comments welcome...
crazyjim Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 All that frame work done in Evergreen rod/tubing? Do you pin every location for strength?
tyrone Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 All that frame work done in Evergreen rod/tubing? Do you pin every location for strength? Thanks... Jim i dont pin them, but I usually try to fish mouth the ends that join together.... Thanks Scott, I'm still working on that info for you.......
crazyjim Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Lots of tedious work, Tyrone, but your build is looking extremely well.
gasser59 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Phenomenal as always Tyrone. Each one of your incredible builds pushes me just a bit more to build one of these wild machines.
tyrone Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 Thanks JIm I appreciate it. Thanks Robert... Thanks Brad, come on and join us... I know you can knock one of these out of the park looking at the work on your other builds.
tyrone Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks fellas, I appreciate it, well I've got the chassis pretty much done, I finished up the trunk floor, made the doors jambs and I also got the doors mounted. I also made the rear wing from sheet styrene and some mounting tabs, next I'll start cleaning up the chassis and body for paint, and make some inner door skins.. Thanks for looking and comments welcome...
Dragracer Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 The Nova looks great Tyrone, can't wait to see it all painted!
tyrone Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks Richard I'm thinking I want a vinyl top on this one w/yenko stripes... not sure on a clolor yet...
crowe-t Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) Tyrone, I love your Pro-Mods but this is quickly becoming my favorite. I like cars that have stock looking bodies with large tires tucked way underneath like this. Great work as always! Mike. Edited February 20, 2012 by crowe-t

W117monte Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Looks great!! unreal how you can take some plastic tubing and make that. A small request, can you post some pics of that early nova in the background. that looks really awesome
tyrone Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 Thanks Steve, there is a thread on here for that one it's a 63 chevy 2 outlaw prostreet a couple of pages back I think...
Romell R Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Tyrone this is turning out Great! What powerplant are you gonna use? And will it be nitro or blown?
Dragracer Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 A vinyl top, now there is something different!, I think it'll look pretty cool!
eviltwincustoms Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Man Tyrone, I am just extremely impressed with your work on these little cars! You have me wanting to go out and buy the main box models to do one up just like this... Wanna sell me what you have completed thus far?! This way I don't have to run to the local Hobby Store and buy the 3 models to do this... Keep up the Awesome work, excited to see how this one turns out as well.... like I even need to worry how it is going to turn out though!
tyrone Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Rom, thanks bro, means alot...probably will be big nos motor, Richard, I think so too.. I've always liked those clean, fast, stock look appearing cars, and the one's with vinyl tops always looked good to me... Bart thanks for the kind words dude... much appreciated... I love doing the pro mods, but these types of builds are what started it all... I always like to go back and do one of these after doing a pro mod, so I can try out new stuff. I kinda want to see this one through though...lol... should be a fun build...
Prostreet Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Nice work as usual Tyrone, I have been picking up parts here and there to start a 1/25 build like this.Not sure on what body i wanna do yet. Any pics of the hinges? Edited February 22, 2012 by Prostreet
tyrone Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks Joe... I'll get you a few pics up....
