cobraman Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Crazy coupe is done. It was a fun little project that kind of went in a different direction then I had planned. Happens all the time. You plan something and then the project takes on a life of it's own and different ideas good or bad come to mind. Thanks for looking and as always comments both pro or con are welcome.
TooOld Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Wow , that was fast ! Love the dragster chassis and the fade job , but you'll have to explain the intake !
Danno Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Wow , that was fast ! Love the dragster chassis and the fade job , but you'll have to explain the intake ! That's not an intake. He has no intake opening. That would be my only concern with the design of the car, no air for the fuel injection system. The "snorkle" stack emerging from the roof is for the middle exhaust headers ... this is a dual engine (side by side) car and that's how Ray solved the dilema of what to do with the center exhausts. Neat car, Ray!! Unique and nice-looking. Good build!

W-409 Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 This turned out great! Now everything fits correctly, for example the wheelbase. Great job on the paint too. Not the easiest type of build to complete, you did it very nicely.
'70 Grande Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Man, that's a cool build! I can imagine seeing it in 1:1 scale, with exhaust rumbling outta each of the usual lower-side panels and also coming outta the combined-exhaust stack in the roof... kinda like a vintage steam locomotive. LOL

" Especially if you set it up with one of those flamethrower devices in the roof stack! Very neat concept and execution.
crazyjim Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Not only a very cool build, it's SHINY :) too!
CorvairJim Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 He has no intake opening. That would be my only concern with the design of the car, no air for the fuel injection system. Au contraire! The air intake would be those four little stacks on top of the manifold between the superchargers mounted in front of the engines.
ShawnS Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Man that would be one hell of a wild sled ride. Nice build Ray. Well done.
