Re: Custom Pro Street Superbee

I've finally decided what do to with my Superbird, it'll remain a secret until I got the parts I need though. Cheers, more superbee pics later today.

Tubs half done, interior has base coats, just one more of the hemi for the hell of it (with new painted carbs), diff is shortened and disc brakes have been mocked on.

Re: Custom Pro Street Superbee

Thanks for the replies!

The slicks are actually some Tyrell/Yamaha F1 rear slicks, the front tires I don't know where they came from. The wheels came from the Revell-Monogram 78 Firebird Trans Am model, I used some old Snap-Tite Kenworth rig rear wheels to make the rear wheels that deep.
I'm not sure what to do next, probably start the long stretch to make the scratch built front end.

Re: Custom Pro Street Superbee

No, the blower came from the kit originally, I may or may not change the carbs, they are quite oversized (came stock with the Hemi) so I might see what the Superbees originals look like on the original blower. The scoop is from the AMT Flipnose, I only glued a small piece of styrene on top of the blower to get a little more raise from the block. Thanks again for the replies, I best go do some more on this.
