This 'cuda has Search and Destroy written all-over it (can't you just picture James "Skull" Williamson driving this bad boy to a gig !) *where did you get those seats ? did you make that pattern ? Thanks man. Yeah I can. The seats are from the Revell 70 Superbird kit. I painted them flat black, and then gave them a mist coat of gloss for texture. Corey
dimebolt Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 alright Corey, thats it man............you are outta here! fired! clean out your desk by midnight, and get goin! im torturin ray tonight too.......haha cheers bryan I ought to be after my little fiasco that just happened. Messed up the heads on my engine, and had to replace them. Just a minor setback though. BUT, a dumb one.
dimebolt Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 Here are a few mocked up pics. Think I'm gonna probably gonna use some different carbs. Don't know yet. Maybe. Thanks for looking. Corey
BluePopsicle Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 I would just use those carbs. Not like anyone is going to see them under that big air cleaner.
dimebolt Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 I'm not going to run fuel lines and linkage because of the clearance involved with the air cleaner, but it's going to be removable. That's why I'm not sure. Want to add some realism to the top of the motor, and just dont like something about the carbs. Corey
vintagedragfan Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 you are making some great progress Corey, engine is looking killer!, love the steelies too btw!!
BluePopsicle Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Oohh I got ya! The kit carbs look pretty detailed... just not in chrome. Looks like they might work with aluminum and copper paints. What other carbs do you have? or...are there too many to post? lol Edited October 14, 2012 by BluePopsicle
dimebolt Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Thanks Bill. Ran into a setback yesterday, and had to do some backtracking; or I would be further. Drilled out the heads for solder headers, and I just fought them ALL afternoon. The reason being is, I had just roughed in my exhaust and was trying to use THAT solder for my headers! DUH! Its way too big. Once I realizedI was using the wrong stuff, the smaller diameter solder wouldnt fit. Holes were too big. So I had to replace the heads. Luckily I've had a few of these kits over the years and had some extra heads to use. It'll be done right today! The cop car steelies and dog dishes are something I've wanted to do for a while. I love em too. Thanks again Bill. Corey Edited October 14, 2012 by dimebolt
dimebolt Posted October 14, 2012 Author Posted October 14, 2012 Now I'm back on track. Thanks for looking. Corey
