Shelby 427 1965 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hi everyone! So after suffering modeller's block for a long time, I finally got around to doing something. This was just a case of finishing something I had started. Unfortunatly, many pieces in the kit were missing, so I decided to go for a cheap race-on-sunday rat rod dragster look than a showroom fresh car, like I would've liked. Modifications: Chrome Trim removed Single Bucket Seat interior Tamiya Alfa Romeo front tires One headlight removed in favour of an air vent Same for indicators and number plate slot I just wanted to get something FINISHED! Colour is primer grey and matte black. Thanks for lookin', all comments much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I like it, but you better have those ball joints checked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby 427 1965 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hahah, I just think that dragsters look awesome with camber under the front wheels. Don't know what it is about it, just looks right to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-man Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hahah, I just think that dragsters look awesome with camber under the front wheels. Don't know what it is about it, just looks right to me! LOL! Too much drag fighting all that camber. Looks ragged, just like you planned for.

Terminator-Fox Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I really like it but that is way too much front wheel camber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 with a little less camber and the chrome dulled down a little, those shots on the concrete could almost pass for 1:1. I like it and your photos are really good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 With the camber dialed in it looks just like the car I had in high school.....right down to the mismatched wheels! Brings back memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
