James Flowers Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Your putting a Chevy motor in it ! I hope not.
Raul_Perez Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 I can't wait to see that one painted and built!! All of the designs look really good!!
3men2s Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 Your putting a Chevy motor in it ! I hope not. I knew I was goin to hit a nerve. It's a plastic engine I have some big block ford engine but I am saving them for other projects (Bob Gliddens'exp ford pro stock and a Fairlane pro stock) I keeping the chevy block but the top part its all custom built. Twin turbos and I will place the distributor in the front to resemble the fords engine. I know. i KNOW BUT i HAVE A LIMITED BUDGET FOR THIS HOBBIE, and I like to use what I have the best I can. I could buy one of those Gibson engines which will look great but since I am experimenting with this turbo set up for the first time I RATHER SACRIFICE THIS CHEVY ENGINE I am not a chevy hater even dow I am a ford fan
RyanSilva Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Looking good. Those Revell ProSportsman kits are awesome donors arent they?!..Im a die hard Ford fan...i think its fine using the Chevy...its a model...but 1:1 guys do it all the time also in outlaw 10.5 and other extreme classes.. Il be watching.

Build it the way that makes YOU happy with it. I like the chassis your doing for it so far, It looks really cool. I ordered this same body from Don and his castings are flawless!! Some of the nicest resin pieces I've ever bought. If anyone is hesitating about buying resin cast pieces from reliable....You have nothing at all to worry about. The pieces I got may have taken a little while to deliver but I was told that when I ordered them and after seeing the quality of them It was worth the wait!!! Don does them the right way If they aren't right he won't send them. Chris
3men2s Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 I agree, this is my second mustang body, it is a beautifull thing. The new camaro, looks hot and will be my next buy. I also he also does a good job doing parts, his scoops are asome for pro stock projects., thanks for your reply..... you need to do a custom rollcage for this slick body.
evilone Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 real nice im planning on hitting up the new cobra thats coming out thats going to be my dragster
3men2s Posted February 28, 2008 Author Posted February 28, 2008 CONTINUING MY LOW BUDGET PROJECT, I AM TRYING TO MAKE A PAIR OF TURBOS OUT OF SOLDER WIRE, STILL NEED TO WORK ON THEM TO MAKE THEM LOOK RIGHT. THE BODY IS CLEAN WILL BE PAINTING IT SOON SO IT CAN DRY WHILE I BUILD THIS THING. WILL USE THE FUNNYCAR TANK AS THE INTERCOOLER. AS SOON AS I GET THE TURBOS RIGHT, I WILL START TO CONECT ALL THE TUBINGS FOR THE INTAKE.
3men2s Posted March 3, 2008 Author Posted March 3, 2008 I was able to do a little this past weekend. the motor needs more work, I need to make it look smoother, the body is ready for paint and the hood will be done when the engine is final, it is going to be a project by itself just to do the hood. I don't want to just make a high coul induction I problably do something out of a japaness animation, will see.
Turbokid Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Those air filters wouldn't happen to be wire connectors would they. They kinda look like it.
3men2s Posted March 4, 2008 Author Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) Those air filters wouldn't happen to be wire connectors would they. They kinda look like it. yeap will chrome them and see if they look good. those are the smallest i could find in home depot. Edited March 4, 2008 by 3men2s

Kenny Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 yeap will chrome them and see if they look good. those are the smallest i could find in home depot. This thread has my interest. I love low-buck detailing parts. Nice Mustang too!
3men2s Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 talking about low budget....what do you do if you need to make a intake for this kind of set up? I found in my parts box this oil pan from a funny car. turned it upside down. after paint....it starting to look like something
v8horsepowercj Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 This thing looks like a beast!!! It should deff. not be suffering in the HP dept. I really like the met. Blue used on the chassis and roll cage. The stance in the mock up pics looks great....down in the weeds just like it should be. What color do you plan on painting the body? Great ork so far keep us posted. Chris
3men2s Posted April 8, 2008 Author Posted April 8, 2008 My air brush broke, while I am shopping around for another one I could't do the design I originally wanted and went with something easy to do with a can...It is a fade from silver to royal blue to deep purple.
