Here is two projects of mine. First, Fujimi Audi 80. Heavily modified front bumper. Subaru wheels and rear wing. Im not sure about that hood scoop. Yes or No?

And its intercooler scratchbuild. Painted with chrome paint.

Next, rod from scrap parts. So far i've attached two peices of frame as one piece. Cabin from 29 ford. Plan is to use left over parts from varius kits.

And Muscle Rod's engine. Dual-supercharged-top-fuel-engine. Only problem is how to fit a belt to it. Straight belt wont work. And remember, both chargers has to run in same direction.

I've seen that motor before in one of my mags. I have a suggestion for the double chargers, give me a minute.

EDIT: Heres the diagram. Two seperate belts. One that goes from the engine pulleys to the bottom blower. Then another that goes from another pulley on the bottom blower to the top blower.

Make sense?

Hey,

Like what you're doing so far. Can we have more pics, and a how to, of the intercooler? It looks really nice. Especially the weld seams. Keep up the great work!!

Not a criticism but what's the point of two blowers?

And I think tyhe Audi lloks better without the bonnet scoop -- don't like thre rear wing too much either!

Looking good though!

Great work so far. I dig the color on the Audi, and the rod will be awesome. I love those clear-the-parts-box projects!

There already is an intercooler how to in the how-to depository. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=59570 You folks ask and ask for how-tos, but you never look at them! What's up with that?!

yeah but this is one badass FMIC!

what did you make the piping with? solder? What brand, what guage, and where did you purchase?

did you welding it together with regular CA Glue?

That intercooler was pretty easy to do. The core was from cd box. Then styrene glued to back of it for supporting those long "ends". All piping was from part trees.

And to Muscle Rod. Front suspension are collection of parts from beer wagon and 29 ford.

Scratchbuild coil overs. Rear end is from super bee. Four links from parts box.

And headers from Mad Mudder. I think they are big enough. :) And I also changed tyres. These are from beer wagon. Slot type they are.

Good job on both kits :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see the Audi done :) And without hood scoop IMO.
