Hi Stan After posting on your build I went to a few model shops trying to find a pro sportsman kit but could not get one so I brought a t bird pro stock kit lines up pretty good I had to trim the rear end and fire wall I will be trying to mock up the cage over the weekend I just need to find a narrower set of rear tyres to get a 10.5 look
1 bad55 stan Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I never thought to try the t bird frame as i have 1 of them.Is that the engine your going to use?No matter what i know it will look cool.
gtcapri Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 Not sure at the moment it will be getting a different blower I'm looking at a 14/71 kobelco style. But I would like to use a small block with a shorter tunnel ram

mcdub13 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 You should check out the set of slick that come in the 8 pack made by amt i think there like 8 bucks at hobby lobby.
1 bad55 stan Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) Hi Tim,are you going to leave it black or do you have another color in mind?I'm only asking so we don't end up having the same or similar paint jobs... Edited June 19, 2014 by 1 bad55 stan
gtcapri Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) hi freakshow got the wheels from thepartsbox.com here in oz they are really good quality I just wasn't sure how to fit them being new to this as i wanted them to rotate so i made a custom hub do you guys normally glue them on ? Hi Stan yeah plan to leave it black but I was going to strip it back as I did not prim it and looks a bit dodgy where the chrome panels were on the rear quarters apparently this can be done with glass cleaner and it will have candy red interior Edited June 20, 2014 by gtcapri
am73grand Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 This is going to be wicked! I like what you've done so far!
gtcapri Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 thanks Ron I have a lot to learn as i am discovering i am currently working on the cage and waiting on tyres and a new blower to arrive

Outlaw_Pitbull_0411 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Nice.... cage looks sweet, I hope u dont mind me say I would have painted the floor black n the wheel tubs silver so that the cage stands out it may get lost being all red that's just my opinion not trying to sound rude or nothing it looks good nice and smooth paint good job
1 bad55 stan Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 thats nice!It will look sweet with the black body...
