AMT/Ertl Snapfast Slammers Black Force Custom with Allison V12 airplane engine 1:25 scale

[ea0863]

Hello All, I just finished my interpretation of the "Black Force meets 1440HP Allison V-1710" - thus her name obviously had to be "Allison". She has a stretched body and frame, raised front and rear suspension, with rear axle moved forward 3" scale. The hood has been removed to show off the all-chrome engine, and interior adapted from a '66 Chevy Nova. The overall vibe is from the Rolls Royce Jonckheere, and color choices from Christian Louboutin shoes. Check out my WIP of this build under the same title for additional information and things I learned about the kit and engine.

Wow, that's really sharp. I like it.

[Street Rod]

Cool car! Pretty creative idea with the airplane engine.

[Kah puts]

Very interesting, and well executed. 

[ea0863]

Thanks much guys! I tend to be a concept over execution kind of guy - enjoying making crazy ideas come to fruition, but not necessarily having the skills or patience to make every detail just perfect. If I had the talent of some of our fellow builders on this site, my builds would probably take years instead of months.

My, my, my!  That's sweet. 

And, as Tim the Tool Man says, "More POWER!"

 Tim's version of this car actually had 4 Allisons!

 

(If you can believe it, this is a real car known as "Quad Al")

Very creative. Very cool. ?

Superb creative perfect coool... ? Can you please tell us what chrome have you used on the engine? Thanks

[crazyjim]

Great imagination.

[stavanzer]

Awesome Build!

[Bainford]

Cool concept and great execution. That is one of the best integrations of the Allison mill into a road car I've seen. The two go together very well, and the mods to accommodate the engine flow well with the rest of the car. Very cool, and nicely done.

Swoopy deco style and a huge chrome aircraft engine...everything to love all in one place. 

Well done sir, well done.

Beautiful looking design along with the paint and interior. The engine, as big as it is, looks like it belongs here. Everything looks to be in proportion.

That's a beautiful project Emre. Really well put together. It's a gorgeous car, you did a superb job on it.

The engine was completely chrome right out of the box (AMT Custom and Competition Parts Pack)

Thank you Trevor. I am a big fan of odd engines adapted for road use (such as Jay Leno's tank car), so I can certainly see me doing more of these oddball builds in the future

Thank you David. I particularly appreciate the compliment because it was quite a trick to get it all to fit. As it is, I had to seriously enlarge the transmission tunnel and move the firewall back to get the beast of an engine into its compartment.
