slantasaurus Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Nice 57 Nick. I just got back from Chicago and I hope I have the parts I need to finish the Datsun now. I still have a lot of work to do....
zenrat Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 You really think that old clunker will make it out of New York? Nice work. I've been working on my turbo installation. Sorry for the crappy phone pic. That's an air to air intercooler in front of the radiator. The piping passing through the radiator core. The engine is an OHC 4.2 litre V8 from a Toyota Celsior. Normally aspirated it kicks out the same power as the 'cruisers stock 6 cylinder turbo diesel so with the Javelin Engineering turbo set up we will be looking at a serious increase in gee gees.
nhra1625 Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) I'm not sure if it's too late, but I'd like to join this with my 53 Ford Flipnose. I'll snap a few pics of what I'm gonna use after school. Edited September 26, 2013 by nhra1625
Pat Minarick Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 I finally figured out some rims and tires to fit ,and keep a stock appearance . Had to make a big fuel cell .
A.R.C. Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 You really think that old clunker will make it out of New York? Pretty tough talk coming from a guy driving a car thats powered by a blow dryer. The 57 looks very cool Nick. Congrats on the show win.
W-409 Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 Very nice job everyone! It has been great to follow this thread. Especially Nick's Bel Air turned out very nice! Finally I'm making progress with my '69 Torino Talladega since I just changed to a new bench. I got the ProCharger belt installed. It is made from paper that I painted black and it's not perfect, because it has no "Fins" that Blower belt should, but I had no styrene that I could have used for them... Well next time. Also the Roll Cage is pretty much done, just needs paint on it. When I get these modifications done, I guess this thing will come pretty fast. Sorry for the bad picture, there wasn't much light so I had to use the flash and it makes that engine look horrible.
Nick Winter Posted September 28, 2013 Author Posted September 28, 2013 More great Progress, Loving it so far guys! I'm not sure if it's too late, but I'd like to join this with my 53 Ford Flipnose. I'll snap a few pics of what I'm gonna use after school. I'll add you to the list Pretty tough talk coming from a guy driving a car thats powered by a blow dryer. The 57 looks very cool Nick. Congrats on the show win. Oooohhh the trash talk LOL I was waiting for that

JM485 Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Just wanted to remind everyone who the winner will be! Haha, let the bench racing begin!
knarf Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 nice viper...what's the power to weight ratio?? better than an acura integra w/440ci and a 4bbl??
slantasaurus Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 None of you guys stand a chance against my lil Datsun and it's secret weapon......if I ever get it finished. LOL
JM485 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 nice viper...what's the power to weight ratio?? better than an acura integra w/440ci and a 4bbl?? V10 power my friend, need I say more?
zenrat Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Meh. Speed is just a matter of money. The trick is not getting pulled by the cops and i've got a surefire way to avoid that this year...
A.R.C. Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Oooohhh the trash talk LOL I was waiting for that I decided that since Im not up to building I`ll just be the grumpy old man on the side of the road shaking his cane at all the punks going by way too fast.
JM485 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Meh. Speed is just a matter of money. The trick is not getting pulled by the cops and i've got a surefire way to avoid that this year... How's that, go faster than the cops can?
JM485 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I decided that since Im not up to building I`ll just be the grumpy old man on the side of the road shaking his cane at all the punks going by way too fast. At least you found a productive way to participate! I'll be sure to rev my engine and make a ton of noise when I'm going by so you know it's me.
KurtisEBear Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) Paints a flyin' just waiting for decals to show up so i can colour match. Got a fair bit done on my mustang over the past few weeks an update due when paint is done Edited October 2, 2013 by KurtisEBear
W-409 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Nice work Niko Thanks! Something that I have been working on the last couple of days. I installed the distributor to the engine, and put the Spark Plug Wires on place. They are Scale Dreams' stuff. First time ever when I'm using blue wires. Next I need to make a bracket for Alternator and then I'll make a belt for that too. Then the rest of the engine parts and all details... Interior is Flocked, too. Before Flocking I masked the little carpet on driver's area and speaker grilles away so they will be painted later. Then just regular Flat Black from Spray Can and Flocking on. Not my best effort on Flocking, but luckily this one is not Convertible. Dashboard was primered too after sanding a Mold Seam away.
nhra1625 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Well, I had more pics but my phone is acting up so here's what I have for now on my Stepside. I started it a looooonnnggggg time ago and gave up. The frame ended up breaking in 3 places and a lot of parts got slightly warped. Most of it is actually a ACR Viper. The only thing that is the actual truck is the body and the main frame rails under the cab. That's it. I have a lot of work ahead of me to fix it...but I can do it.
A.R.C. Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 At least you found a productive way to participate! I'll be sure to rev my engine and make a ton of noise when I'm going by so you know it's me. JUST STAY OFF MY LAWN!!
JM485 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 JUST STAY OFF MY LAWN!! I'm rolling on the floor after that one!
TFchronos Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Seems like this is the year of the Viper engine lol. I like the hood Peter, nice wheels too. Great work on the Engine and flocking Niko! Not much to report for me. I'm finishing up the interior on the GTX and trying to hammer out a paint job for the hot rod, no updates yet.
