Ira Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) AEROTREC! AeroTrec is going to be an Anti-Gravity Racer! This aerodynamic shape could also be made into a Submarine or a Bonneville Racer. My goal is to make the AeroTech body even, more Aerodynamic than it already is... AeroTrec is based on parts from 2 Olds AeroTech Bodies. This kit has the option of 2 different Body Lengths. I went with the Long Body Parts. Now lets cut up some plastic...

Kit Basher Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) Wait! This and "Pegasus"?! I'm going to wear out my mouse keeping up with all this. Oh well, I can handle it. Bring it, Ira, bring it! Edited February 21, 2013 by Kit Basher
Custom Mike Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Go Ira go! Got my popcorn ready, and I'm waiting for the plastic to start flying!
Mooneyzs Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Ira.... This is gonna be another great build. I can't wait to see what you do to it.

Ira Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 MIRRORING THE REAR!!! I started with the top Rear Section and cut off half of the Section behind the rear wheel wells. I also cut the Donor Rear Section in the same way. Next I cut out the lower part of the body sides, so that the Donor Body Section fits in place as shown. Another View... The I cut the plastic around the Engine Compartment, so that it is flush with the New Bottom of the AeroTrec!
Jonathan Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Very sweet. I always thought it'd be cool to build the aerotech as a two seater. Then my mind went to tandem seats, with a rear gunner ala WW II US Navy style.
Ira Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 Wait! This and "Pegasus"?! I'm going to wear out my mouse keeping up with all this. Oh well, I can handle it. Bring it, Ira, bring it! Thanks Hugh! More Coming...

Ira Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 Looks like a interesting project Thanks Kenneth!
Ira Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 CUTTING THE FRONT!!! With the New Rear Bottom of the Body in place, I marked a New line for the Bottom Front of the Body... I cut only the Front Sides for now... More Coming...
Ira Posted February 22, 2013 Author Posted February 22, 2013 NARROWING THE FRONT!!! I used a ruler and marked the sides of the front wheel "Bumps" for cutting... I cut along the lines with a Cut-Off Wheel in the Dremel Tool! Here is the front after the cut...
Albie D Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Your a nut Ira, in the best possible sense. You don't think outside the box, you vaporize the box...Looking forward to this!
Ira Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Go Ira go! Got my popcorn ready, and I'm waiting for the plastic to start flying! Thanks Mike!

Ira Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Ira.... This is gonna be another great build. I can't wait to see what you do to it. Thanks Chris!
Ira Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 ROUNDING OUT THE FRONT... I cut plastic oversized shapes to fill the cuts and attached them with Zap-A-Gap-Green Label... I cut the sides from the "Short" Rear Section of the AeroTech Body. Then I cut the height of the sides down so that I could fit the Side Sections in. Then I glued them in place... Next I cut the side pieces from, the Front Under Piece, and glued them in... More Coming...
Ira Posted February 24, 2013 Author Posted February 24, 2013 MORE ROUNDING... I turned the body over and using the Front Underside Corners as a guide I ground off the excess plastic on top! Here are the Top Corners after some more sanding... I also cut some of the height from the front fenders... More Coming...
Kennyboy Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Ira this is just plain awesome! Love to watch your creations become reality!
robertw Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 To get inside Ira's mind would be a place not understandable to most of us mere plastic dabblers. I like everyone else will be eagerly following this build to see what he finally comes up with.
