jetpilot888 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 g'day, finished up this about a week ago, its a revell 55 bel air body, with a custom built tube frame chassis. i didnt like the bumbers so i just left them off, i think it looks much better without them. paint is tamiya metallic red and tamiya racing white, chrome parts and trims where painted with tamiya silver so the chrome didnt overpower the red on the car. probabl;y not the right place to post it, buts its actually a drag slot car so it does get used down at the track too. the biggest modification i made with this was probably with the grill, i sanded the back off it so its only the grill bars that remain, so you can see right through to the radiator. thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetpilot888 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 thanks for the comments guy! helps me keep motivated to build more! Love it!! Paint is gorgeous Does it have an interior in it? And this thing actually goes? Cool Cheers so yeah it does have a very small interior in it, it just has a steve kinser driver figure from the sprintcar kit, seat was from tamiya subaru wrc rally car and the dash i just folded up from some sheet aluminium that was black anodized, i cant, because of the design of this chassis do a whole lot with interior as a fair chunk of it is occupied by motor, but this next chassis im building should rectify some of this problem i hope so that i can add more detail, after all this was really a proof of concept more than anything! this is basically as they start out, 1.6mm 316 stainless welding rod, silver soldered into this. i built a small table so that i can clamp the chassis down so it doesn't warp or twist or come out of square as it being built and finally they end up here at the track, the car was originally coral green, i didn't like it on track so i decided to change it, at least it was only painted and didn't have any details or windows added haha the class that i run with this is called show and go which is similar to a street stock class, which i know the tube chassis wouldnt work in real life, but this was pretty much proof of concept in an entry level class!
