Brent Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Hi all. New guy here. VwDave let me know about this site. Definitely LOTS going on here. I'm loving all the cool, super clean builds on this site. Well done. I'll build pretty much anything. On road, off road, stock, muscle cars.... haven't done a tuner yet however Hmmm. I love the VW's and have done a few of them. I'm currently building a Baja race truck with functional suspension. It's proving to be quit the challenge. I just completed this trio last week. I love the Pro Street, Pro Stock type look. The truck is pretty much box stock. Lowered and added the hood scoop. The tire set is from a die cast toy (It's about the only place I can find the "big and littles". The trailer I left the top off. It's Amt's display case trailer and I built the tire rack for it. The Car is out of three kits. Body is form the Shelby Mustang 2'n1 Kit, a Thunder Bird Pro Stock kit for the engine and the 57 Chevy Pro Sportsman kit for the Chassis and to think at one time I had issues parting a kit out I left the body to the basics, no bumpers and covered in the front of the car (under the grill) to smooth it out a bit. I love "in your face" exhaust systems so scratch build headers from soldier and the collectors from styrene and shrink tub to get the clean merge look then dumped it out the side of the car. Hope you like..... hope everything loads fine...
VictorSmalls Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Welcome I can't figure out whether I like the truck ford or chevy better. Simply amazing work and looking forward to seeing some more.
1320wayne Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Very nice combination. I really like the color scheme.
6bblbird Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Exceptional workmanship! I especially like the color combination and layout. Walter Frey
James Flowers Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 Nice trio you got there. Nice color choices.
scubadiver411 Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT All three are a GREAT combination.... Love the stance, color combo, EVERYTHING about it Can't wait to see more. STEVE ALLEN
Brent Posted November 1, 2007 Author Posted November 1, 2007 Thanks again guys. Can't wait to see more. Have been traveling for work so no time to build You just get all wound up and finish a project then want to start another but you can't, very frustrating.
3men2s Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 I understand, brother, but what you can not have, you learn to appreaciate more, so I really enjoy the little time I have to built. which means, there is no time waisted. Love this project, I have been thinking to do something like that, maybe go early in time, maybe early 70's when big money , big trailers did not existed. Those were inocent times in drag racing.
cruz Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Welcome man, you are going to like it here , very nice work on your models too.........
bsoder Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Now that is some great stuff !!..I love the whole trio
Brent Posted November 2, 2007 Author Posted November 2, 2007 but what you can not have, you learn to appreciate more Good point. Make sure you do a build up on that early 70's set up. Would love to see it. Welcome man, you are going to like it here I most certainly am, thanks. Thanks bsoder.
Joe R. Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Holy ######! How did I miss this one? Did you build the chassis? The color combination is perfect and that truck is sweet too.
Brent Posted November 4, 2007 Author Posted November 4, 2007 Thanks Paul. Holy ######! How did I miss this one? LOL Not sure. It is the 57 Pro Mod kit but the front suspension had to be moved back, the back of the car had to be shortened. I modified the roll cage (some original, some scratch) to fit the interior better.
Gregg1LE Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 I had the great fortune of watching the WIP on this project on another site...great work, Brent, as always !
charlie Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 sweeeeeeeeeeet looking combo you have build there
