Zombie Motorsports......

Did some frame work today. Added a front axel and some tires that I will also mold once I get the front the way I want. Once I checked BUT didn't double check I found out the front axel was to wide just enough that the body sits on the wheels

So I went ahead and split the front axel and moved it up further on the frame and reattached the axel to the front.

I will have to do some work to blend everything to clean it up some. Then I had to shorten the frame to fit back under the body. Originally when I did the mock up the axel was back further so I had to do some cutting again.

Well it looks as if I have the stance the way I want it . Like they said in the A-team " I love it when a plan comes together " It's getting pretty close to the look I am after. No to mold the front wheels tomorrow

Awsume project. Those are some really cool decals....

One question, why did you stray away from an actual top fuel chassis? Just curious I guess....

[Riley Customs]

actually I used the frame from the Mad Mag. funny car for another build. I had cut it down and put it under a 1970 Mustang. So then I ended up with the extra body and an extra frame from the 2 dragster kit and modified it to fit the Firebird body. Yeah I know kinda back wards thinking but hey sometimes I do things that way. Drives the wife crazy some times with all the partial kits. I'm gonna be building a few cars and trucks up with the partials to try and use them up. The tires I am casting are the original wheels from the body kit. Just trying to work on my scratch building ability.

Got it, your wife wouldn't like my stash of partial kits then!!!! LOL. I was just wondering what the reason was. Lookin awesome though!!! Can't wait to see more progress on it!!!

Ok getting closer now. Got the back wing painted and installed. Also installed the black glass. I have to do the front glass, but I'm thinking it was a good idea. Really makes it stand out.

[DrKerry]

Lookin good so far!!!!!! I'm likin it!!

[Riley Customs]

Thanks DrKerry ! I really think the blacked out windows and black wing really set it off. Now onto some frame and motor work.

[DrKerry]

Your welcome, I just can't get enough of those graphics!!!!!!

[Riley Customs]

Thanks I just got lucky on the graphics, sometimes you think something will work and most of the time it doesn't. As I said before I work extra hard on my decal making to make up for lack in my other skills as a modeler. Next I am gonna try to do a zombie Voodoo car. Hope it turns out as good.

Koolsville, can't wait to see that!!!!
