I'm gonna take a stab at a Kaiser Henry J

[TuscoTodd]

I'll take a stab - how about a 1949 Nash Rambler?

Hey, Hey! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while! :D

That is quite the conversion there sir!
Bravo!!!

[JamieB]

You've changed that around quite a bit! Looks good though!

[vipercf]

Looks like whats left of a Jaguar XKE
very unique build

[vipercf]

Not American but that is what it resembles

[slothead]

Only our own beloved Strange could look at this

and see a modified race car lurking inside.

That race car bears about as much resemblance to it's former self as Michael Jackson did.

[Brent]

It's a 1951-53 Henry J.

Dodge Charger tunnel window? on a Nash?

Put the finishing touches on the NASH

Started as a $10 slosh casting from 873chris on e-bay.
Had to sand it quite a bit 'cuz It was cast from a 3-D print I think.
A couple heavy coats of primer between sandings resulted in this starting point.



Built a 3/64 brass rod chassis.
Getting kind of lazy & built a cage around the Piranha with a dab of solder to hold it in place.
(Just need a soldering iron instead of a screwdriver for motor install/removal) :D



A little Dremel work, some Bondo, two coats of Ace Hardware white primer & one coat of Ace Hardware red.
Home-printed decals, Cox gears, Pro-Track wheels, home-cast urethane tires & Parma guide with Big Mama braid.








.............I just need to know what mod body Tusco Todd would like........ :?

[slothead]

What?! No motor mount bracket? Is the motor soldered to the chassis or cage, or just held in place by the fit of the cage?

Very nice chassis work overall, as usual. What's the wheelbase on this creation?

Really cool, looks great!!
