arni Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I finished this beasty today,the front was cut off to form a flip front and the bonnet was blended into the wings and front panel,the hood scoop is the cockpit cover from a rail dragster.I had to fabricate a new bulkhead for it and the rear bumper was blended into the body.Also I made new chassis rails from brass box section and created ventilated discs from scratch. The engine is a Ferrari V12 and has twin turbo's. The shell was sprayed Ford crystal blue and cleared with Halfords polyurethane clear and the chromework was foiled too. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thud4444 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Nice choice in colors. Really brings out the long and lean lines of this car. By modern standards, these things where HUGE! Where did you get the rims? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
