Guest Darkside Customs Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Well. I'm annoyed...... The RG motor fits, but with the intake, the hood won't shut... I don wanna make a cowl hood... So I found a small V8 to use... Annoyed because now I gotta go back a step and build and paint a new motor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Why not just clearance the oilpan, or modify the front crossmember to fit, like you would on a real car? Might save you some time, and I KNOW that motor will go in that car in 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondakingpin Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I went for the more stock approach, but I like how you opened up the hood and trunk areas on yours. Will be a cool ride when complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darkside Customs Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Just a sneak peek at paint... I'll show the rest sometime tomorrow... Not that I really care, but do you have to know people around here to get replies? I post on other forums and I get a ton of replies, but for some reason, only. A select few have replied... Those that have took the time to reply, I appreciate it! James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
