What the hell, it looks like a machine gun turret.:cool:

Yeah, it's a little crooked. that was just a test fit, looks like I've got some chopping to do..:devil:

:eek: High rise! Is that the Ramair setup from the 78 Firebird? You need a blower on it with the high rise stalks on top.

Big slicks in the back eh? :smoka:

Yeah, planning on it..

ah its a joy to build eh? ;)

Aah, yes, it is. I just love the smell of melting plastic at 2 in the morning. ;)

I know one of those resin casting companies sell them! I think if you go to http://www.modelexpress.net (server not up at the moment) I think they deal some sort or blower, but I'm not sure.

Bimmer, that thing is huge! Where is the exhaust going to exit? Engine compartment? Side pipes? rear?

Hey, I handn't thought of that! Probably through the side, I have some drag-style headers left from a different kit.

Hm, it does look like it's missing something on the top, doesn't it? What should I do..

whoa..speachless

This is what I'd like it to look like when it's finished and the interior's in...

As you can see, I need to chop the back axle a little bit..

isnt that a bit too low?

Nah, not really. Have you ever looked at a real drag race car? The front wheels are usually that low. Besides, nothing's scraping, so I'm fine. :D

Looks great.....can't wait to see more of this crazy project.....are you going to ad a wheely bar??? and hmm....i never seen a drag convertable...

-RaceMySS

Wheelie bar: Yes, I hadn't thought of that before.

Now that is crazy ! That looks mean as hell. But i think that looks alot better then if it had a blower!

By blower, do you mean just like the oval-ish intake part that goes on top of it?

By blower i mean the top air cleaner aka if you have seen the fast and the furious the dodge charger has a blower sticking out of the hood or also known as a supercharger!

Ah, yes. I'll look for one.

awsome project!!!;)

Thanks.

Update - I'm modifying the front suspension, which involvees cutting off the post and gluing it back on closer to the top of the suspension arm.
