Guest Darkside Customs Posted July 6, 2012 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...
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 6, 2012 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.
Miserable Soul Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 wanted to ask.... how are those gibson engine kits? worth the $$$$ ??
nboldman Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 wanted to ask.... how are those gibson engine kits? worth the $$$$ ?? im curious as well???
Miserable Soul Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 they seem pretty pricey but look well made and detailed
Guest Darkside Customs Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I'll try modifying the cross member and motor mount.... The quality is superb IMO
nboldman Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 The quality is superb IMO I have thought about a pro mod one for AWHILE, but have never pulled the trigger. After i see yours completly done. i may pull the trigger and buy one. Thanks for the info!

Guest Darkside Customs Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 It's ok... I appreciate you taking the time to do that though...
hondakingpin Posted July 14, 2012 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.

Guest Darkside Customs Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 It's back!! Was diggin through the parts box and it hit me... The motor from the 70 Impala will fit right in... Now to pull the car apart, rewire the motor and get the body prepped for primer...

Guest Darkside Customs Posted August 27, 2012 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
