wrecker388 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I received this email for the Ohio State Patrol: Mr. Hunter We at the Ohio State Patrol are tired of all the scoff laws that are associated with the so called race you are directing. The Ohio State Patrol intends on building a vehicle to combat the law breakers who are intent on exceeding the speed limit laws set forth in the great state of Ohio. Enclosed please find our entry. A 1969 Plymouth GTX. Sincerely, Buford T Justice, Jr. Commander Ohio State Patrol This came to me as a surprise, Being they are showing the unbuilt kit, I am accepting there entry. So we have to be careful especially in Ohio. Tim Well, looks my Cougar will need to be really incognito. Or armed to the teeth with cop-stopping goodies. Or both...

Lunajammer Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 And DaveM - you're right about the '77 Chevy Van having plenty of room for fuel For the record, this is still one of my favorites. It tickles me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominik Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'm still going to look for another Smart, but I'm starting to think nobody else bought any of t Pat, what kit was your smart? Should i take a look around for the revell or so and send it to you? For my entrie, i choosed the Porsche 356 engine for the bug, will make "the authentic style". It is in progress...lowered and frontaxle shortened. Some pictures will follow these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Minarick Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 The AMT '70 Super Bee Pro Street chassis fits pretty well under that luxo barge Jon. Just saying... And DaveM - you're right about the '77 Chevy Van having plenty of room for fuel None of you will be surprised to hear that i've done nothing so far. I checked out the other pictures on Photo Bucket, very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christian-w Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) A warm good morning from Germany! I did some brainstorming while I was sorting out my model kits to reduce my collection and grabbed some gluebombs. I think it's a good idea and: I'm in! Please put me on the list with a 1964 Mini (Tamiya): My plan: to put a Honda F18 engine in it Everything else will be open to the ideas while I smack this thing together Donor car: Edited January 13, 2015 by christian-w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antikainen Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I´m still here with my GMC Motorhome! Nothing done yet except some dremel work to the body, remowing all toy like things from inside of body. Sorry, no pics yet. Since I now did finally get ´51 mercury ( see under glass ) finished I´ll have more time to get buried in the mysteries of high speed Motorhoming.

Sorry if I sound anal about it, but I've owned a few of these cars over the years. This is a surprisingly common swap in real life, somthing that I've always wanted to do myself. Sticking a 200+hp engine in a car that started out with 68hp isn't a bad start. Can't wait to see how this one turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Sticking a 200+hp engine in a car that started out with 68hp isn't a bad start. My thoughts exactly. I'm using the 2JZ from the AMT Supra. From my reading the weight between the Pacer and Supra are near identical, and the 2JZ is rated at 321hp. It should move along pretty well I think. Adding a Ford 9 inch rear end to handle the load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Monogram Ferrari 250 GTO OK .. I'm commiting to a group build .. I have trouble finishing any of these I start, but I have trouble finishing any build I start! I'm going to really try to get this one in the race. (please note that this story is pure conjecture and imagination based loosely on fact) This is the one out of 39 Ferrari 250 GTO's that has disappeared since it was rumored to have been sold in 2014 for $39 million. It was owned by the Violati family since 1965 and , again per rumors, to have resided in an old wine brewery in northern Italy. Found by Ricardo Violati who used the barn to house his wrecked Lamborgini's and newer Ferraris from his father after his drunken rides through the Itialian alps. Ricardo had no respect for the value of money. He was handed anything he desired by his wealthy family and cast all aside as he was given new toys. He also had no respect for the great engineering that created the automobiles that he so carlessly abused and cast aside. Yes, Ricardo was a spoiled rich kid. Despite his disrespect for the automobile, his favorite movie was " Cannonball Run", not for the excitement of the various vehicles but for the way they were abused. On reading of a new Cannonball Run for 2015 he decided he HAD to participate in this American tradition and "show those amatures how to drive!". Reading rule two ...If the car IS normally thought of as fast, it should be in such poor condition/appearance, that no one would give it a second glance .. he decided he had many cars to chose from. He ricochetedoff the the Alps to his winery cache and chose the missing 250 GTO he spent a night polishing the seat with the acidic heaving of his stomach. The winery rats had had their way with the seats and the leaking winery roof took it's toll on the body. The smashed right front fender he crushed on that last night could be replaced easily with a replica. Mysteriously one of the wire wheels was missing ... he wondered if it might have been that bothersome guy trying to buy this derelict. It would be cool to see a set of American mags on the GTO anyway ... nice fat ones in back! The rest could be fixed with duct tape and paint from the local ValMart. This model is a glue bomb from an ebay jumk pile of sports cars I got for a Porsche 944 build. It had virtually no paint, other than the oddly used black in body panels. The builder had troubles applying the tube glue effectivly as it was sparce in some places and way over glued in others. The glue could be plainly seen everywhere. Looking at the car cloesly I could see why the Monogram Ferrari 250 GTO was released by many companies .. it is a very nice kit for it's age and nicely detailed. So, I threw it in the freezer to see if it could be taken apart. It all reverted to it's "natural" stay pretty well .. many broken locator pins, but they are easily replaced. The only piece that remains stubborn is the glass ... it refuses to budge loose. I started to just grind it out but it still won't come loose. I may just leave it and mask off for painting. No box art but here's the starting condition and what I've done to date .. and now .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pim Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 my entry for this year is a 1982 Datsun 720 which is being placed on a hacked up Hilux lowrider chassis I will have a small block and powerglide (I think) and the stock Hilux diff. the plan is to use the wheels shown and make it look like either a work truck or surf truck . And it has a LHD dash from a Hilux thanks to Luke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about my Accord Wagon (Aerodeck in Germany ) with it's F20B3 engine. So I stupidly wrote an F I always wanted to put the 2.2 Liter from a 1990 Accord into the 1979 Accord - 150PS and 860kg weight That would be great.

DeeCee Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I've been debating these for awhile now, but I better get them entered before DaveM takes all my ideas! LOL. A VW van with Vette chassis and a Gremlin. I did the California Roller a couple of years ago for a cannonball build, with a F1 Cosworth V8 and transaxle, plenty of room for a good driveline mate.

MeatMan Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Got a start on my "Sleeper" l. Stretched the chassis and drive train,.. Cut out the trunk lid... Just noodlin' so far Great work, and nice concept. Looks like the 'Vette drivetrain is going to be popular this year. I'm using the setup from the C-5 Compuware Corvette.

Lunajammer Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I've mocked together the massive Audi V-10 engine and Tuesday chose to convert the PT Cruiser chassis to take the engine. The evening began by salvaging the "doughnut" spare tire. I've always wanted one of these. Spent three hours cutting and shaping the chassis and interior floor, only to return tonight and realize it was a colossal waste of time. I'm back to converting the Audi chassis to fit the PT instead. The Audi is 1/24 and the PT is 1/25 so I need to shorten 5mm. A-arms will be shortened later. BEFORE AFTER... Wheelbase is now aligned. To radius the Audi chassis to fit the PT I used a French Curve, a graphics tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
