freakshow12 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) I didnt know what I should do next so I figured it might as well be a mean dodge. This one will be a mini tubbed, low, big power 440 six pack street brawler 69 super bee. all I can say is the interior, stripe and hood will bee black. color you will just have to see. I think I will want to take on dragfreaks hemi cuda out on the street with this one Edited August 25, 2014 by freakshow12
DumpyDan Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 I don't know what you should do next Fred, but it has a great stance and it dies look mean, keep the paint dark..............I like!
Dragfreak Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Should be a great race!! Looks like a great start stance is sweet! and maybe gloss black or gunmetal would look good on there and one question, where did you find those deep convo pros? I've been looking for a set that are deeper than the revel nova has.
freakshow12 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 I think those convos are from the old soft seal 55 chevy pro mod kit. I think it is going to be testors firey orange with all the black. I got some cool parts for my 440+6.
freakshow12 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Posted April 9, 2013 Oh and I love these cars cause mini tubs do not infringe on the back seat at all! Mine will also have full exhaust right to the tips. It's a "street" car. Right. Lol
freakshow12 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Posted April 10, 2013 made some small progress. I didnt like the rear end and exhaust in this kit so it will be swapped out for the nicer stuff in the newer charger kits. k member got a few mods as well.
freakshow12 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 mini tubs coming nicely. suspension all sorted out interior headliner has paint on it. I spray it before body just cause its easier. now the 440 6 pack is going to get a little wilder. this one may need a chute lol. building some subframe connectors and cal trac bars this weekend. pics shortly
freakshow12 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 Let's just say It won't be naturally aspirated
freakshow12 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Posted April 18, 2013 Well this build is going sideways in a hurry... In a good way. I have some parts coming like some drag radials, micro nitro wheels and the 440 is going the blown route and getting EFI. Stance won't change. Look for updates soon
TheRX7Project Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 I hope you can keep the stance like that- it looks awesome.
freakshow12 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 Well I made some progress. Mini tubs are done and primed, took out the battery and smoothed that side of engine bay. I may need the room over there for my procharger. I also hated the molded in washer tank so I smoothed that out and will use one from a 69 charger. Wiper motor looked weak so it's gone and a charger unit will go in
freakshow12 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 Underhood is all in primer. I can't paint till I get engine/ blower sorted out. Wheels should be here may 1st ish. Can't wait. I don't want to fiddle with suspension any more until the wheels/ tires come in case I have to make adjustments. Next is subframe connectors and cal trac bars along with a driveshaft loop
freakshow12 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 hood roughed in. it will be semi gloss black. mini tubs top side that nobody sees closer view. I am pretty happy. should fit a 325 drag radial pretty nice nicer dana 60 fits pretty nice lots of room. I was using these and convo pros but stepping up to something way nicer
freakshow12 Posted April 22, 2013 Author Posted April 22, 2013 that one piece glass irritated me so I figured I might as well make use of it. I am adding styrene to the open spots. then I will add dome light and visors. should make a nice drop in part. I made the masks so I can spray it black once I texture it. I took out the molded in battery. it will be in the trunk. I figured I may need the room as a procharger hangs off that side of the engine on a 440. I took the washer resivoir off too as it looks terrible. a clear charger piece will be installed as well as the wiper motor. this is a street car remember lol
Shelby 427 1965 Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Lookin' good, I like the Superbees so I'll be following.
freakshow12 Posted April 23, 2013 Author Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks guys. Going to work on the interior until the parts start rolling in. I can't paint the body until I know what I have to do to mount the procharger and fab up an intercooler
freakshow12 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Posted April 29, 2013 well boys and girls, I have not got these in my hands just yet but Jim at micro Nitro was good enough to send me a teaser before he shipped them today. cant wait!!
mademan Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 well boys and girls, I have not got these in my hands just yet but Jim at micro Nitro was good enough to send me a teaser before he shipped them today. cant wait!! Nice wheels! Ive got his centerlines and slots, he does great work.
freakshow12 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Posted May 1, 2013 thanks Mike, I cant wait to see them in person. I did a little tonight. with the boys playing lacrosse now (hockey just finished) I stay pretty busy lol. I sized up the cage, worked on that headliner idea and filled some ejector pin marks and sink holes on the chassis. I also filled in the notch for the brake booster as it will have manual brakes. I think I am going to take out the molded pedals and add the nicer unit from the charger kits.
