Re: ford escort (extremly modded) in progress
so it looks like no ferrari bumper? and i don't know if you have any plans for the engine but a suggestion would be to maybe put in two motors if it's possible. since you made the actul car wider by splitting it down the middle there might be enough room for two four cylinder engines maybe?

you will be able to, i used to jus get old bootlids off cars weld a plate in them and fiberglass them too make them really smooth, i started off pretty crap but i got better you should try it, jus get a piece of sheet metal put a gully type thing in it like a dip, and try to fill it in so it looks like there was never a dip in the metal after a few times of doing it u wont even need to sand down the fiberglass much.

Re: ford escort (extremly modded) in progress
i would say you can just get engines off of other cars. but when you go out and buy other cars or get parts from scrap cars in you collection you should get engines that are actully blocks, unlike some of maisto's engines which they are plates. i currently can't think of any cheap small engines that you can get but by looking at my collection you could buy 2 of maisto's mercedes-benz ml55 because that particular maisto's engine isn't actully a plate.
if your interested in the specs it is: cylinders V8 displacement 5439 horsepower 342 torque 387 and it's normally aspirated. now looking back at the ferrari front end, you could've left the hood long and then put the bumper infront of it like you did in the test photos and you could've put the ferrari headlights in as well. then on the front fenders you could mold it around the side of the front bumper. just a suggestion. |
