I only had white primer left ( this is not an indication of the colour ) most likely will be a dark colour

That's for now!!:icon16:

great work so far where did you get the tubs from?

You seem to know what you're doing! I find it hard to believe you haven't done this type of thing before.

the tubs are a resin job off ebay, it was the whole chassis but it was very messy and could not be bothered cleaning it up, so i just joined them to the original

if you have an old funny car kit you can just cut them off that

Thanks! ( i think! ) i have been modeling for years now but this is my first attempt at major mods

i have done the odd engine plumbing here and there but never anything of this caliber

plus a passion for the car really helps!!





Had to go out for dinner tonight so no progress as yet:frown:

but, these are going to be the wheels and this will be the stance

slightly chopping the rear guards and totally removing the front wheel wells was necessary to create this stance


http://images46.fotki.com/v400/photos/5/1465195/7994992/DSC00573-vi.jpg

yes wheelie bars will be added

http://images110.fotki.com/v1585/photos/5/1465195/7994992/DSC00571-vi.jpg

more soon:sunglasse:sunglasse

:naughty: That stance is great.

Sick!!!

bit more work today

i had to make the tubs bigger due to super low stance, had some 0.008 tin in the parts bin so i just remade the tubs from this

the interior so going to be all aluminum so the tubs will blend in nicley
