Ira Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 Looks like a lot of fun, Ira. Inspires me to maybe build a Deal's Wheels style Bugatti! The MPC Dune Buggy Zinger has a 1/20 scale Boss 429 in it, if that fits the bill for you. Thanks for the Suggestion Andy! Found a 20th scale HEMI that looks much better than the BOSS 429! Photos Coming...
rustybill1960 Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 As much as I liked the Willys build . . . . I think I like this one more! Thank You for sharing Ira!! These past few "Dealer- Peelers" have really been fun to watch Man!! Thank You again for the pleasant divergence! Later Russ
Ira Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 IT'S GOT A HEMI!!! I was sold on the 25th scale FORD 409 Engine, untill I saw the BIG HEMI... I found a 20th scale HEMI Engine in the Little Red Zinger Kit. The Double Superchargers were too tall for the Ranchero, so I looked for something else. I found a BIG Supercharger in the Groovy Grader Kit. The Scoop from the WILLY WILD will be just what I wanted, after I do a few modifications... Here is a quick mock up!
Ira Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 THAT'S A BIG ZINGER HEMI!!! The New HEMI Really Fills the Bed... These exhaust Pipes came with the Zinger...I'm thinking about using them. What do you think???
Ira Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 Ira buddy you da man. This is going to be awesome! Thanks for the kind words Tim! Glad you like it!
James2 Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 I wasn't sure about this at first, but the lines and curves are really coming together. Nice fab work Ira...

1272148 Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Cool build ira I have been following your build on coffin corner and am thinking about posting a build myself
1930fordpickup Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 This is awesome Ira ! You could scratch build some Boss 429 valve covers for that block (you have the talent) . Yes I am a ford guy. LOL
Ira Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 Ira......that Hemi looks good in the back. Thanks John! Yeah, I Think I'll Keep it...
Darren B Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 wow just came across this, pretty cool and a lot of ambition to boot! Love the idea and all of your hard work to pull it off way to go can't wait to see it finished.
Ira Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 Removed The Chrome... First, I put the Supercharger and Scoop in the Purple Pond, to Remove the Chrome Plating... Then I put the ends on the Engine Block & Cut the Block down a little bit. I made a new base for the scoop, that moves it forward towards the cab. I also Wired the Distributor and Drilled the Valve Covers for spark plug lines.
Rmodeler Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 I'm new to this post. wOw... that was brilliant Ira, to graft on those those side pieces! The result just looks "right." (saved a lot of work too, way to go.)
