heres something i started working on.
55 belair nomad






all i did tonight was separate the trans from the bell housing, smoothed out the seams and the bell housing.

hotchkis inspired tubular A arms and drop spindles.








brakes look a little thin, might make them thicker. next for these are the 6 piston calipers.



stock height. not bad, but im not one for stock height.. :twisted:


big brother

well, after a few months of doing well, not much. i did some work. little update bump
who needs a huge gas tank and spare wheel well?? getting ready for custom linked suspension. :twisted:

phase 1 lowering in the rear. i like it, it's subtle.




phase 2 lowering. "C" notched the frame. it sits lower, but i did this for suspension travel, not ride height.
gotta be realistic a bit right



heres to night 2
i think the pics speak for themselves









under shot. might be a bit dark.

The lowered suspension definately looks better than the stock height!

What scale is it?

[rollin80s]

got some work done in the past couple of nights



and this is the idea for the upper links. triangulated=no need for lateral bar


this is the the semi end product to the links.
so this is what i have came up with, gonna go from the top. more clearance


going to hit the LHS to see if they have some nuts and bolts i can use.

Sweet 4 link setup Luis. How yah going to do up the motor?

[luchoteam]

Great proyect!

keep working like that...you a doing a great job!

[rollin80s]

drift fc, never answered your question.. it's a 1/16 scale kit.

thanks guys, jimmy as for the engine...im really leaning towards BOOST! plenty of space for pipping and intercooler, some snails..

heres a bit from tonight. some detail here and there..

[rollin80s]

hi, got some this settled and parts to add more detail

[mats13b]

This is going to be awesome! Tough stance!
It's definately screaming for a turbo..or turbos haha..I can't believe the kit came stock with a turbo option in the first place!

[CrewDawg15]

NICE!!!

Lookin great Luis. Are those RC car nuts, and bolts?

[rollin80s]

thanks fellas.
the nuts and bolts are for train sets. im a try the hardware store next time, might have a wider selection. dunno.
boost it is. i just needs to rework the heads on the motor. hope it can get it right as im not as knowledgable on the V8 side. lols

Really like all the effort you are putting into this. Nice work on the rear suspension.

[vohelpe]

where did you get those wheels?
