Slammed1 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 This started out as a Prostock John Force version that sat like a 4x4 Slammed it first

Slammed1 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) 3 coats charcoal metallic and 2 coats clear and started reinstalling bright parts. Edited June 2, 2014 by Slammed1
Slammed1 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Ultimate plans call for a twin turbo big block chevy with interior mounted intercooler and piping and bull horn exhaust behind the frt tires. Been talking with Ted about his turbos cause my scratchbuilt ones are taking too long. Edited June 2, 2014 by Slammed1
Slammed1 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Posted June 2, 2014 Will add a low profile flat rear wing,small frt spoiler,twin parachutes on back,lots of interior plumbing and much engine plumbing when turbos are here. The rear tires are tall but skinny so its a sort of 10.5 Outlaw class car.
Slammed1 Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Thanks guys,Its been a slow project but is paying off especially when I see the paint and how well it laid down and wont get too much cut and polish. Still working on a powerplant so I can get a engine block and trans mounted and start the huge task of twin turbo plumbing.
Biggie Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Awesome ! Lots of work already nicely done, will be keeping an eye on this topic. Good luck with the details
Slammed1 Posted June 7, 2014 Author Posted June 7, 2014 Thanks alot,it will be a centerpiece of all my heavily modded diecast when done.
jerseyjunker1 Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 i know how much work and time goes into doing something like this and it looks fantastic. can't wait to see more.
Slammed1 Posted June 8, 2014 Author Posted June 8, 2014 Unfortunately there arent many sources for 1/18 parts but there are a little around. Using parts and pieces from other cars is basically the way to get parts wanted but at times the parts you need are from a more expensive more detailed car and that makes it tough. There were manufacturers of wheel and tire sets for a while but quite a few companies have went under. Scouring ebay is usually where parts or parts cars are found. I do alot of scratch building and modifying so I use stryrene sheet and tubing and such. I want to resin cast some parts like Turbos,intercoolers and such but I am not to that stage of modding yet.
