hobbybobby Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Original: The Infini-T The Longnose Coupe for the Go-Faster Group! Original year: 1971 Designer: David Carlock Reactionary rail combines roaring twenties styling and "drag is our bag" chassis...a triple-A fooler with a Hemi "elephant power" Sunday punch! Outasite! (Here's what's stashed under that longnose supercoupe shell): Mopar Hemi mill with Jimmy huffer up top, "Heavy Raps" header collector combo, super-trick frame, unreal radius arms, "skinny mini/wide hide" vinyl tires set. This build has begun great, but, again, this frame was also somehow wrong and twisted, initially wanted nothing to fit right... After a long construction freeze, here is my version, the Veloci"T". Most boxstock, aside from the tires and small modifications here and there... Hope, you like it. Look, ma, no doors...the whole cab tilts open!

hobbybobby Posted August 25, 2013 Author Posted August 25, 2013 Thank you very much for the nice words! Don't see that everday! What's the story on the "skinny mini/wide hide" vinyl tires set? I use on the front spoked wheels , but this spoke wheels from the kit are unfortunately only on the front detailed, on the back, the spokes are too much thick and fat... My opinion. Comic spoke wheels, if I can not see between the spokes... Therefore, I edit the spokes, a little. Above the originals, the edited below: Above the originals, the edited below: And then the result is ready: Well, this interference requires a lot of time, but afterwards they are much nicer wheels...
hobbybobby Posted August 25, 2013 Author Posted August 25, 2013 The rear homemade wheels have rubbers from an old motorcycle grip and are on turned alu tubes with Pegasus rims. The red strips on the rubbers are glued in addition, to prevent it from too much bumping... For example, I chose These rims here... ... which I then edited... Two aluminum tubes turned out, I polished them up on front... ... and at the back, they have a larger opening... ... in which I now easily press that edited rim... These rubbers are of a handlebar grip for bicycles. With a little editing and mounted on my homemade wheels, the whole thing looks like this: And yes, the cab hinge is made of brass, from the hardware store, modified and fitted...
