55 bel air drag custom

[surgeon]

Here's a little something I've been playing with. Started with the pro sportsman kit because it already had a chop top (saving me a bunch of work)





Ended up having to rebuild the trunk as it had an absess for the spoiler and parachute.



So then it was on to paint and stance.

I really really liked the slammed look....but it gave to much of a lowrider vibe and didn't have enough of that aggression I wanted.




So new wheels and tires.




The kit came with a decal grill, so I had to build one with some ribbed styrene I had laying about. Also had some extra pinstriping decals.




Still adjusting the stance...




The chassis is a ghetto six cell with a radline motor and locked rear diff.



I am hoping to get some pretty decent acceleration out of it. Questions and comments are as always, welcomed.

looks good. i saw someone on hear had tires that actualy looked like m/t's on a drag project this would look awsome with those.

I still dont think it gives off that aggressive vibe, try widening it or adding some angled eyebrows ontop of the lights.
