Chas SCR Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Due to the weather being so below here in michigan and can't get any painting done on the two cars i'm building so far, I gone head and started on a build that I think will high light the new style frames and parts from the autocross world. No Limits has let me in on what the new frame that is going under there fastest autocross truck and all the updates so I can build it to the scale parts. This is not a show truck but more of a hard beaten race truck with street parts of today.
JabMan Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 looking good, glad I have a basement to paint in here in Minnesota.
Belugawrx Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Nice work Crazy lookin' Truck Sprue frame? What engine??
Chas SCR Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 Jason I do my painting in a paint booth in the basement in my shop but I can't keep the heat above 20 degrees and the booth is traping water in the air right now. The frame is 3d printed by me, the motor will be the one they ran at the big tracks and in Vegas as it's a lot more different then the flat intake one. For the body no, it was started from the AMT 72 chevy kit and then I shorten the bed up on it. The bed is a lot shorter then a normal short bed so there is still a lot taken out on both sides in front and rear of the wheel. Did a lot of talking to them down in Columbuis and Indy this year as I was getting ready to do this build.
hjracing Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Great project, I love those race truck that show that a pick up isn't for carry things only
Armornv Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I'll definitely be watching this one. Love these trucks.
Chas SCR Posted February 12, 2014 Author Posted February 12, 2014 I done a little work on this tonight getting the frame more square and put together with the brass parts. I did go back and made the rail extenchens longer so every thing will line up easy'er.
Tony N Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Great start ! I saw this truck run at the Good guy's car show and it sounded great. Before you start painting, I think you should check to see if the the wheel wells were enlarged or maybe the body was section a couple of inches. The body doesn't look stock to me. But I could be wrong.
