MGM,
You should probably have kept this in the same thread as your original one, mods will probably merge them.

that is insane!!! :)
roughly built? or u actually study chassis engineering?

just wanted it to look right.

It looks awesome. So, what engine are you using?

That looks hot. Great work dude. Keep us posted.

thanx !! the engine is out of a revell dragster kit, with a lenco tranny grafted on, and the spark plugs relocated.

d-d-dayam

Sweet Jesus! i love it!
keep it up!

thanx ALOT you guys!!!
i have the headers "almost" done, i am still trying to figure out a paint scheme, blah,blah,blah,blah. will try to get some NEW pics up soon!

WOW. Amazing. It looks pretty good. Can't wait to see more.

This is some amazing scratch-building! Post some of your tips n' tricks!

....:eek2:... That is verry impressive, amazing scratch building, how did you keep everything so strait and simetrical? Ill be keeping my eye on this one. :sunglasse

thanx but...
i dont really have any tricks, or tips. this is my first chassis, but if i was pressed to say something it would have to be: take your TIME!!! and study HARD!!! oh yah and test fit,test fit,test fit,test fit,test fit,test fit,test fit,test fit,test fit!!!!!!
one trouble i am running into right now is the headers on the driver side, the steering linkage is right in the way, as well as the a-arms. but since the f40 started out as a mid engine car there was never much room up front to start with. i will think of something tho.

WOW!! Looking forward to seeing how this progresses!!!

I thought you custom built the chassis for this car? Well, here's my suggestion: MODIFY! I never have, or ever will(maybe in some cases) built a stock model except paint, but that was way back when I didn't modify.

'86, i did scratch build the chassis as well as the headers, and just about everything else, but i don't know the future, and being that this is my first time, i fucked up, as one might think, but just a little bit. i did manage to get the headers to work without your suggestion, thanx any way tho....

86 sr5 you must be proud!

Pretty much. I can't build a stock model, even if all I add are different rims, a cat-back exhaust, and a custom intake with custom paint. I think I've only built like 3-5 stock models. But they had custom paint. That's cool you made it fit. I'm honestly looking forward to seeing a 5 or so second scale F40. Keep up the good work with it.

well i got back on it after a little time away from home, take a look.

The closer it comes to finish, the better it looks!
Nice blue-white-red paint scheme!
From the inside to the outside, from the begining to the end of its built, it's a winner!
And I'm sure it's even more impressive seen in "real"!...
That what one can call a "Drag Queen"! lol!
