Old Sprinter Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 I started this awhile back but I have been being grandpa for the last several weeks and loving every minute so I have just been doing bits and pieces. This is a winged car; the real one is driven by Brady Bacon. It will have some really cool graphics which I have; just need to finish the car. Here's what she looks like today and when I started it.
a/gass Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 not my cup of tee but very cool indeed - looks good cant wait to see it finished.
plasticbutcher Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Another master piece in the works, got my snaks and drink, let the show begain
Nicolas Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 can't wait to see more of this! Totally unknown in Europe, i love those huge wings!
futurattraction Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I used to be more of a roundy-pounder fan than I am any more, but this looks cooler than all get-out! It'll be fun to watch it come together!
comp1839 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 ken, these sprint car builds are just outstanding!!! the craftsmanship, the detail....all...... just outstanding!!!!!
Old Sprinter Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks to all of you guys. Jim3 lives in sprint car country. Here's the real sprinter of Brady Bacon. I have wraps ( not decals) in 1/8 scale, from the company that did his race car so it should look great.
Old Sprinter Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 Thank you guys; here's a progress shot of it today.
Old Sprinter Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 Thank you Joe, that means a lot. I'm ready to do the final assembly so I took some pictures of things that get covered up or are hard to see with all the body work and wings.
moparmagiclives Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 That looks awesome !! I love watching them run on paved tracks. But, and excuse my ignorance, what are the clear lines running down to the plugs?
Old Sprinter Posted August 6, 2012 Author Posted August 6, 2012 Direct port injection nozzles they run in addition to the nozzles at the injectors themselves.. There is a total of 16 fuel lines going to the cylinders. Lots and lots of methanol
TedsModeling Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Great detail and a clean build - I like it.
