The "Dragmaro"

[fieldfairy2]

Ok In my sig it says" bumblebee + evo" now it is becoming a project thread. The Dragmaro. It will be a drag car. As for the upgrades, i am not worried about those at the moment.

Before:
A normal 09 camaro



two days ago:






Today i have smoothed out most of the rough spots(still have a lot more), extended the spoiler and more:







Edit: Chassis:


As you can see a lot more to do. It will be on my other camaro chassis with a custom hand wound motor for sure.

All comments welcome. Any paint suggestions?

wow going nice and wide there!

What skirts are they the Lancer Evo ones?

Keep us posted on your progress.....

[fieldfairy2]

Thanks,

It is the evo wild sideskirts. I painted the evo black, but it didn't turn out well and i am repainting the evo and i though why not use these. They fit almost perfectly with minor triming.

I will keep u guys posted.

interesting build man, props to you if you can pull it off, looks like you've got a decent start, now you just need to tie all that in to the rear bumper and make sure everything flows smoothly. good luck with it

[stangdude94]

dang ustole my idea oh well hope ur turs out well

what paint plans u got for it

[xmodkidd33]

Really sweet idea, I hope it turns out well! Try to blend the fender into the rear bumper more, the edge needs smoothed out.

[fieldfairy2]

Thanks. The rear bumper will be wide with the fenders. Everything will be smoothed out.

O well. I beat you to it. . Thanks

Update:

I washed the body before a layer of putty(drying). Before i puttied the car. I did some minor things. I put the body back together. I made "biggie" rear wheels and i made a custom rear clip, for some tire clearance. I used the radioshack machine screws and nuts to make it a little higher.

pics are uploading.

Pics:




about 1mm clearance




Mods next: locked diff, experiment with the race suspension rear top plates/custom lift thing/chassis extender.(<=== once that is fiqured out i will lower the rear a bit) And of course the body
all comments welcome.

I assume that since you are going wider with the body, you will be going wider with the tires, as a drag car has wide tires?

Really interesting idea, going to watch this one.

Stangdude, he didn't "steal" your idea. And besides, who cares if he is doing it, that doesn't mean you can't do it now? Do one your way, post it up. Let's see it, don't be scared.

looks pretty good, for paint maybe a metallic red with black strips, or gunmetal with white strips...

I am going to try to get wider tires. For now i am getting the wide axles in the race suspension thing. Thanks

I am leaning towards gun metal gray with flat black racing stripes.

Update:

as smooth as can be:




suspension: rasied the rear, moved shocks over to the other holes.



Widened wheel wells.



first attempt at the wheelie bar.





The almost done second wheelie bar:






I started the bumper but it didn't dry because i put too heavy of a layer on. So i had to peel it off and do it again. So it looks bad.


All comment welcome.

Looks like it's coming along great. You going to keep those rims? Or change them to somthing else. I still think the Evo parts are sharp for some reason, and not round...

[snowboi1289]

Hey,I used to have those small tiny skateboards,I think there called tic decks or something.Very creative!!!
But my opinion is,instead of the wheelie bar,or what ever it is,make it look more like bars,like circle bars.

I like the body work.When I first seen the pictures,it looked like you were making rear fins(like most of the 1950's cars).

thanks. I am going to stick with these rims unless i get some other ones i found. I like it the evo parts on the car. i don't know why.

teck decks I am still working on the wheelie bar. i need to smooth it out then i will try to make it more like bars.

thanks. It did at first.

The chassis is about stock besides the rear lift thing and a motor soon along with wider axles.I like how this car is coming along. I wanted to do something custom like nobody else has done. Maybe a chin spoiler? any other things i should do? the paint: gun metal gray with flat black racing stripes. (<----- hint on the next surprise: word #2 and #32). the motor is a 42t in a stock can for now. I tried pattern winding. It went well. the first 3 layers(9-8-7) were easy than it got harder. I happy with the outcome. Just need a different can. Maybe some lithium in the future.

i finally got the putty to dry correctly so here we are as of right now:






all comments welcome. Thanks for looking

thanks. I am going to do that soon. I have a little bit more than when i first started.
