1320wayne Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) Something new to give you guys a tease with. I still have quite a bit of work to go on the 63 Vette project but I had to show this in it's early stages. This started out as a vacuum formed styrene body that I picked up from Joe Cardoza at JDS Racing. When I got the body I added a thin layer of resin to help firm up the body for this project. What happened next was that the resin shell actually popped out of the styrene body as if it were a mold. So, I added a little bit more resin and this is what I ended up with. The final build will be a full detail, blown engine pro mod. The hood scoop is sitting on the body merely for effect. What will be sticking out of the hood will be the Mike Janis style 3 port blower hat that I am working on. I already have the paint scheme worked out and the decals all printed but disclosing that will have to wait until later in the build as the paint work will be close to last. I will update as often as my job will allow. Thanks for looking. Edited July 28, 2013 by 1320wayne
gasser59 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 You've got my full attention Wayne. Looking forward to more disclosing...
cobraman Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Wow. Looks good. Maybe you stumbled on to something here.
Truck parts Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Wayne, That's looking good.Will be following as you go.
JDS Racing Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Hey Wayne, I see you have been busy...Can't wait to see how it comes out! I hope you like the body? Here is my Styrene version that I made for the SlotCar guys.
1320wayne Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Thanks. I brought the body with me on the road with some basic supplies and have doing a little work on it during my down time. I will be home this weekend and should have something to update then.
gonzo64nova Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Good job on the body Wayne, I am looking forward to this build and all the details you incorporate into them. - Bill
1320wayne Posted July 28, 2013 Author Posted July 28, 2013 Here is a small update on progress with this one. I was able to get all of the windows cut out, added some slight wedge to the body sides and a new, lower valance panel to the front, along with a pro stock style spoiler in the rear.
Mister Twister Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Nice work Wayne....The extra wedge and valance panel look right for a P/M car.
Dragracer Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 The body is looking great Wayne, love the Mike Janis injector hat, planned on trying to make one myself for the "Angela" '71 Dodge Demon that is somewhat in the works.
