ElRxBandito VS Scarface - 66 GTO VS 70 Camaro

[ElRxBandito]

Well, this thread is mainly to see, who's still online here, and who still pays attention.

So we're having a build off between, Scarface199 and myself.

We'll both be posting progress in here, and when we finish, we'll have a poll!

Let's start the build off!

[ElRxBandito]

Ok, here's my entry for this American muscle build off.

I have a 1966 Pontiac GTO, and as of right now, it's just a shell of a car.

I mocked it up a bit to show how I plan to how it sitting.

Not sure on paint, dropping a supercharged 427 Hemi, American Racing Torque Thrust wheels in black, and a monster cowl hood.

So far, that's all I've thought of.



Here's the teasers.






Enjoi!

[scarface199]

And here is mine
Going to be a 70 1/2 camaro pro touring,
Waiting for GMP kenisis wheels (should be coming tomorrow)
Then I am getting a resin supercharger for the 454 under the hood.
Going with Deja Blue From testors for paint, with black interior.

Here are some pics.
in order from start to finish.
(may the best scarface199 win, lol)



After work

[Legolas PT]

oh my... this is something very diferent... looking good both, very stylish mods!

[ElRxBandito]

Got a bit done this morning.

I fitted the engine, plumbed out the oil lines, coolant lines, and added overflow and breather tanks.

Also, I got a dashboard setup, with a nice and fancy billet steering wheel.




Now, I can't seem to decide on wheter I want a cowl hood, or a shaker hood.

[Pozz_JDM]

both projects are really nice!!!
but i cant choose between those classic muscles yet...

cant wait to see them done!!!

[scarface199]

Slow down, I havent even got my supercharger or wheels in the mail yet. Right now im painting the engine block and tranny, and finishing up the exauhst, once the wheels come i should be rolling quite well.

Your project is looking good!

[ElRxBandito]

Haha, I can't slow down. If I slow down, I wind up stopping.

And I plan to win this build off.

I just wish I could find all the parts to my Camaro, yours makes me want mine....it's pretty...

Keep it up, I want some competition!

I'm looking forward to it. I know what you can do, you're quite good with customization.

[scarface199]

Thanks for the props, and your not so bad yourself at customizing

Now back to the compitition lol...

Custom radiator in the works (radiator pulled off a jada escalade, cut to side, and made a mounting plate out of thin styrene, And now i am currently making a electric fan out of a old watch, and a fan from another donar car, here is the radiator, will post later when i finish the fan..

[scarface199]

Electric fan finished, made complelty out of scratch... well besides the fan itself..
fan casing made out of the circle plastic piece inside of a normal wrist watch, surrports going to the "motor" in the middle is metal staples, motor in the middle is Hallow aluminum tube cut to side and filled with jb weld.. outside was smoothed out with quik wood.
radiator was made out of a jada escalade radiator shaved and cut to fit.. mounts are made out of styrene sheet.

[ElRxBandito]

Wow, I just have a belt drive fan on mine.

Guess I'm gonna need to make that engine bay shine to keep up with that!

[ElRxBandito]

I need to break out my digital camera, my phone isn't giving as good of a quality photo as I want.


But here's another shot of my engine bay.
