Muscle project

That's sick man! Nice job. Any ideas on paint? Is it gonna be simple or a hot rod paint job? Flat black and yellow would look awesome in my opinion, but it's your car dude just a suggestion. Keep it up and take your time, most importantly, keep us posted.

Thanks

Yep i have though of paint, british racing green then either the black or white r/t water slide decal on the back dont know yet.

[spitfire]

Wow, it does look good. I think you should put the slamed rims on it.

[deckerz]

thanks, im going to use one of the blowers that you have sent when they arive.
nah not slammed rims, im trying to keep the old muscle car rims sort of look, small rims big tyres.

[spitfire]

Ya i know what you mean. It looks good.

[surgeon]

Not bad. I wouldn't melt the tires...I've seen it done many time and I've never seen it not look like melted tires. If anything I would try to find the Porsche tires as they look more street.

Have you thought about putting the truck drop kit on it?

[deckerz]

Yeah i have been trying to find the porsche but can't and if i did i think they might be expensive because of them only being avalible in germany, i also wanted the black motor cradle and swing arms but i will just spray the orange ones.

After doing a quick mount of the front bumper it doesn't look right because xmods chassis' look nothing like real car chassis' so i need only the front lowering plate as i still want the back heigh enough to wheelie.

add some bearings to the clip to raise the bod...how bout the camaro and mustang rear tires from the bk's

[mr.hotrod]

they wont fit his rims but tires from uh amt kits i think work and they fit but you have to boil them first

[deckerz]

ok lowered the front you can just tell, sorry about glare.
my parts did not come today :@ which i am anoyed about but it might be somthing to do with post because me and my dad were both expecting 2 parcels and not 1 came

[KITT222]

Wow. Thats a perfect fit! and the rim/tire ratio is good if you're going for a stock look.

[deckerz]

Update.
Got blowers today and picked the one i liked then abit of modification to fit on the one i already had a here it is, also i lowered the front by cutting out the servo casing but i will get micro-t board and servo so its ok, the front of the chassis is also lowered so how it sits atm the BP comes inline with the skirt. and it still steers perfect with no rub on fenders.

maybe have a drag set up? like the way the real baracuda and maybe a lime green paint job with the black rear fendors like you see are barrett jackson auto shows? it will be very beautiful

[deckerz]

not a drag setup, and its not a cuda its a super bee.

[kendallcschm]

i know its not a cuda.. but it will look nice in that form with that color setup

[spitfire]

Na, that decal on the quater panel of the cudas only fits the cudas. It woldent look right on a longer car like the super bee. But i do like your idea on the green paint.

[deckerz]

ok i bought a job lot of evo + gen1 gearing a suspention for cheap on ebay so i put the grey truck shocks on and changed to torque gearing. these pics are with the motor in and the turbo is keeping it mounted. Also installed the evo car race suspention stubs so now the rear axel does not look smaller then front.

[kendallcschm]

that blower is awesome XD it looks like its really part of an engine... lol

[jimtothejam80]

as its a super bee wouldnt yellow and black suit it?

i saw a new charger like that and it looked awesome maybe it would look good on this car too
