Another old modified racer.. Sedan FINISHED

[turbokev]

Made another chassis last night.. gotta have a running mate (or three or four) for the car I just finished right?












It's another vintage modified type racer.. you can tell it's got a modified straight 6 in it by the passenger side exhaust exit :lol: (Chevy never made them that way)

Might have pictures of the painted body later today.. I'm not fast like Dave, but my real job is looking slow today~ we'll see..

Love it Kev! I am building a Six banger too! I ran out of resin last night Kev, so it will be a few days till i can ship more bodies. Hope you have enough to play with till then!

Very nice indeed. My job is doing the same to me today.

[btaylor]

Kev, maybe this will make you feel better about your engine! GM Did make some right side exhaust that were bad boys!

[turbokev]

Cool!! Great find Bob.. now my mill is completely legitimate :text-bravo:

Wow Kev, that looks awesome! Nice work going on in Fremont!!

[btaylor]

Tony, I have been scared to post any of mine! every time i get ready, another one pops up looking better. I may never get to post one at this rate! I still have not figured out how to post your pictures, it one of the Good ones too.

I will try to send you the pics Dave, I have them in a folder at the house PC.

Kev, Years ago, I had an old Altered Drag car that ran a 292 GMC 6 cylinder, it ran 8.90's in the quarter , at a best of 151 MPH.
It was injected, on methanol. That old long rod motor would sing at half track. It was actually bored to a shade over 301 C.I.

Thanks guys.. Here's a sneak peek of the direction this one is going in~








ps. Bob.. I've driven a couple 11 second cars.. sub 9 is Nuts!

[btaylor]

Darn Kev!, You are making those bodies look fantastic! What kind of paint are you using?, and i have to ask, where is the guide tongue? or is that a secret?

And yes, sub 9's are crazy fun, going through NHRA Tech at that level is not.

[turbokev]

guide will be in front of the radiator on this one.. waiting on D3D order for front carriers..

The green car I just used rattle can Testors enamel..

This one, I used Duplicolor Auto Spray in a 5 oz. rattle can..

You'd laugh if you saw how I am painting.. I don't have a heated garage or basement and I don't want the
stinkiness in office space.. so, after I wash the body and it's dry, I put it (and whatever spray can I'm using) on
top of the fish tank. The heat from the lights warms the body and paint but doesn't make them hot at all..

Then I run up to the very cold attic, spray the body, then run back down with the freshly painted item and
put it on the second shelf of my book case so it has air circulation but is protected from any dust.

I let it dry there for a couple hours and then it's good to go :mrgreen:

The maroon coach I'm doing right now has no primer, just 1 medium coat of the Duplicolor over the resin.
I did pick up some clear so if I think it needs it after decals, I can coat it again.. but it looks pretty glossy now.

[btaylor]

Well Kev, Whatever you are doing is working very well! They both look great. But that sedan looks super to me. I like the Red i guess.

Wow. Nice direction. Looks almost like a Duplicolor laquer. I have a close color to that.

Well done!

Another nice early Modified - something about those brass chassis builds that just set off these cars perfectly, plus they are sturdy and can take a shot.

Nice period car that you will be able to run and race. Like the gold frame and the body color as well.
