Wild Man 33

Having a stalled project that I had a good idea on, but not really me anymore, I decided to use it to create something simular to these inspirational pics. Now, this one glue bomb car that has traveled the world round, will end up being rejuvinated into two different creations! This one comes first as it is way wild! The second pic by the way, has become my desktop pic! LOL. Jody

Alright. I stole the chassis from my 29. So in the future I will be looking for another good 32 chassis. LOL. Anyways, I had to do a pie cut(addition) to give the frame more kick up in the rear. Now I have to make it slightly longer to make room for the motor. I was debating using a 1/20 scale motor, but found a large enough 1/24 scale motor to make me happy. It yells power as well! I am using some 1/20 scale slicks in the rear to make them bigger as in the inspirational model. also using the side pipes from the engine I found. Here is a quick mock up to give yall the idea or concept I am after. Thanks. Jody

alright, now time for a question. I have three sets of tires I can use. I am really tossed up between wich ones to use. The treaded street tire, the pie crust slick or the good year slick? Thanks. Jody

Pie crust, becouse if you look at the 1:1 pic of it it looks like it's sitting on a set of'em

awesome project you got going there! cant wait for more piccies!

What a beast!!!

That sure is wild!

Looks promising. Good work so far.

Now that's going to be one wild build,

Thats mad! Look'n good so far......

Thank you guys.Frame work is now done. Pics to come soon! Jody

You go'n same colour as pikz??

Bonez

I will be getting as close as I can. I will be using Kustom Kolor Ultra Orange from Valspar, the makers of HOK. Thanks. Jody

Here is another quick update. First, I scrounged around for a over sized quick change, then some quick change outer axle halves for the right scale. I cut off the oversized outer axle halves and glued on the 1/25 ones. Then I took a fresh motor from the grave digger and cut off the transmission and rear mount. Then I cut off the front mount. After that I started to scratch build my new frame for this. More to come on the frame including engine mounts and drive shaft loops. Thanks. Jody

wow... what a beast

This beast has also become my desktop, and a photo of this been on the wall in my office at work as the "wildest hot rod of the year ", so far. Now I have dug out my old Revell 1/16 th '34 Coupe (which I had already started on ) and have modded it to resemble this. I won't build it the same , as I want add a blower and alter a couple of other things , but it will be basically similar ,even down to the same candy bronze colour. Will get some pics up soon, in the Large Car Thread , as it is 1/16th.

Cheers Ron

I absolutly would love to see that build!! As for mine, I have a skull blower hat coming to me in the mail now. I cant wait to see it! Jody
