Colin Russell Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I finished this beasty today,the front was cut off to form a flip front and the bonnet was blended into the wings and front panel,the hood scoop is the cockpit cover from a rail dragster.I had to fabricate a new bulkhead for it and the rear bumper was blended into the body.Also I made new chassis rails from brass box section and created ventilated discs from scratch. The engine is a Ferrari V12 and has twin turbo's. The shell was sprayed Ford crystal blue and cleared with Halfords polyurethane clear and the chromework was foiled too. The wheels are off a Tamiya kit and the Revell hubs were modified to fit them,hope you like it.
Danno Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Very, very nice!! Looks just like the 1:1 I once had. Well, sorta. Great job!

lotno249 Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 Great custom work. I love the flake paint. DJ
Harry P. Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 The metalflake is a little out of scale (ok, a lot out of scale), but I like your work on the flip-nose front. Nicely done.
Ben Posted November 29, 2012 Posted November 29, 2012 The wheels look a little strange but the car itself is super cool!
