mrm Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 The body is Jimmy Flintsone resin. The frame started as the Phantom Vicky, but was then heavily modified to convert it to a dropped axle front and the rear suspension is scratchbuilt. Everything else came from the parts box. The color is Ferrari Rosso Scuderia. Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Pugh Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 VERY nice job on this! I'd probably try to correct that camber on that right front wheel but that's about all I saw. Love me some red!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Another beautiful build with some excellent detailing ! The license plate behind the grille is a nice touch . I don't suppose you remember where those headers came from ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Wow! Very nice. I too like the license plate behind the grille. Nice touch. The color is right too. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunc Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I like the engine detailing and the photo etch tail lights work well on this. ( I think the front wheel has a caster problem...not camber) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrm Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 Thanks for the great comments guys. I went to the heartland nationals in 2011 (I think) and there was a guy infront of me when I got to the door that had a cool t-shirt with a highboy Vicky with big meats and headers on the back of it. It was orange and the drawing on the t-shirt showed it from a 3/4 angle from behind. This is what was the inspiration. Then at the show, I bought the resin body, because I knew I had to make a model like that. Then the body got put away at home and got all but forgotten. Then shortly after I joint this forum, there was a build challenge of some sort. A weekend community build. So what you see here was build in pretty much 4 or five days. I could not finish it for the community build because I had a huge flood in my house, but everything was painted and polished and pretty much done. It just needed to be detailed a little and everything to be put together. I am glad you enjoy it and would love to find out the person with the t-shirt to see how well my memory served me.
