Hey guys,
Here is my July 2009 COTM Entry:
It's a very patriotic Chrylser 300C Xmod!
I'm going to break up my description into five categories to make it easy for the judges and also make for an easy and quick read.
1.) Patriotism
-Car selection
---There is not very much that represents America better than Chrysler's own 300. The 300 has a long past history and it also represents the revival of modern Chrysler's design and is clearly one of the best products that they currently offer.
-Flag design
---The flag design was applied to the hood, roof, and trunk as a continuously wavy American flag. There is a gradient on the side of the car that shows the colors of red, white and blue.
2.) Chassis
-Extension
---The chassis is custom extended to meet the requirements of the 300C's long wheelbase.
-Paint
---The chassis is finished in a matte black paint.
-Motor wire hidden
---The custom extension hides the motor wires.
-Custom 300C parts
---The chassis incorporates a modern Xmods Evolution chassis with interior pieces and engine pieces to make a more scale 300C.
-Scale large diameter wheels
---These very rare wheels have been adapted to fit both the Xmods chassis and the 300C's wide track. Offset is set for a lowrider slammed 300C.
3.) Body
-Paint
---The body has been painted with 8 different colors.
-----3 Tone Paint includes gloss black, silver, and gunmetal without the flag details.
-Details
---The body has custom tailpipes (titanium flamed tips), tinted tail lights and chrome headlights. The car is setup for CLL LED's but is not installed.
-Clear coat
---4 step clearcoat process to bring a shine rivaling Kyosho's last generation sought after gloss coat body clear. More than 5 coats of clear on the car before the process is begun.
-Lowering
---Body has been lowered for a great stance to match the cool chrome wheels.
-Interior Details
---Interior side panels and dash are mounted to the body itself.
-Exhaust system
---Chrysler 300C high flow exhaust system with custom ordered titanium tips
4.) Electronics
-Stage 2 Motor Upgrade
---Stage 2 Motor from Radioshack has been installed
5.) Overall appeal
-You decide this.
That being said, let's see some pictures!!
