El Camino

I started mocking this up through the week . Dont know if I will go pro stock or pro street . Depends on the way its going to sit !



Sorry about the poxy pix lads !

put big supercharged engine in it for full drag ute.

Thats going to look killer!

hellyea this will be sweet.

SHould be an awesome build mate!! I recently built a Pro mod camino: https://ozautobuilders.forumotion.com/the-workshop-f4/el-camino-drag-ute-t2131-15.htm

I really like your buids mate! By the way where are you getting all the running gear from?

Great lookin build in the makings.

I like where this is going, pro mod all the way.....

You know , I havent built a stock kit in about 15 yrs .I have been able to accumilate so much drag racing stuff , wheels ,chassis , mototrs etc ,That Im yet to build a race car out of the box .Thats gonna be different I can tell ya ! Figure I can develope my techniques with kit bashing before I get serious. Thanks guys

looks awsome mate ill be wochin this

Where exactley are you getting the running gear/ Because every time I build a drag car im forking out $60 for a donor kit and a kit for the shell Is EBay a good source or am I just missing something

Check out my cellar Mustang 67 . These are kits I havent built and are all complete !

Well I've been playing around with ideas for this build , Have'nt decided on a colour as I'm still trying to get that look.Although definately two tone .




Also been thinking about sumfin different too , Maybe deployed parachutes .I may even go twin turbo set up that I got from Glenn in Jameison . Really good looking hemi !!!

oooooooooooooooooooh that's looking wild and wicked

Thats bad arse. Glad to see your going the pro mod look, alhough it could be mistaken for a burnout machine from what I have been seeing at comps and workshops lately. Too cool. Fat rubber and a PHAT motor. what more could you ask for.

WILD!

E-Bays good. Keep an eye on it after chrimbo for people selling off unwanted presents or having a tidy out.
Watch for sellers with junk yard lots cheap. You can get some usefull bits that way but study the pics as it can suck to win what you think will be a killer body to find it has no "glass" or broken pillars. Also watch for people selling what is basically crap for inflated prices or people parting out kits. During the last year there has been a very persistant seller trying to part out a Revell Willys Street Rod. No problem there except that if you added up what he was asking it came to more than a complete, new, sealed kit from one of the more expensive sellers.
With junk yard stuff brake fluid and caustic soda are your best friends. Never underestimate how much glue someons can use assembling small parts and don't rely on a junk yard engine being usable.
Also watch out for (or befriend) slot car racers. They'll typically buy kits, use the body and then dispose of all the running gear.

Finally, if you are really stuck for stuff then ask. Just don't be doing it all the time.

I like what you have done so far, will be keeping a eye on this one.

Go twin turbo!! For the 10.5 class.
I love it, keep going.

Awesome Mics, ya knew I'ld be liking this one. Glad to see you didn't just shelve it

It's taken a while Brett but finally I found some time and inspiration to pick it up . 10.50 class , hardly , I was hoping for 6.70's but we'll see. Thanks for the comments guys .Mustang 67, I've been buying and building for 35 years & thats why I have so much running gear (drag stuff) I got onto a lot of stuff when it was really cheap . If ur desperate I may be able to help you , I have so many boxes I hardly remember where everything is

10.5 Outlaws refers to the rear tyre size, any motor type (blown / turbo) and body shape is allowed and these guys will typically run 6's and 7's.

There you go Kane , been that long since I've been drag racing in victoria I forgot the classes .Thanks for the update !

I really wish they (government) would hurry up and get the drags happening again in Vic, I would come down for it, that's for sure.

Crazy Camino Ute Mic keep the pic's coming I'm watching this one

Or you have a really good mate that had a shit load of stuff ( like 900 odd kits ) they didnt want.
