XYGT Doorslammer

Here's some progress photo's of my XYGT Doorslammer. This one's going to be along term project. Making all the alluminium interior for it now. No easy feat i can tell you but it'll get there. Happy modelling Southy.[img][/img][img][/img][img][/img][img][/img]

Best of luck with it Southy. Its looking good so far. Gotta love that big donk - the detail is staggering. Is the donor model from Biante or Classics?


Tezza

The donar model is from classic and the engine is out of a top fuel boat. I think i'm going to need all the luck i can get. Thanks Southy

Just some friendly advice for the tin work. Find you local printer and see if you can get some of there old printing plates. It is very fine alloy and you want need to anele it to work it. I used it for all the tin work in a 16th cortina i did years ago. It comes in 4 foot by 3 foot sheets.

Thanks for the advice. I got some thin sheets of alluminium which is good because you can cut it with a good pair of sissors but is thick enough to hold it's shape. About 1/2 mm thick. I like the old cortina ,what make are they.

It was an 4 door old Frog kit.

Give it ago mate. You need a few power tools and a few more dollars than a resin model though.

I haven't seen this one yet. Looks like an awesome build. Hope you get time to finish it soon. I've got a bunch of my own projects sitting for way too long also.

It doesn't matter when this is finished as it's only for me and not going to be for sale. This is my dream car if i had money. That's the problem with your own stuff , it gets put to the back of the cupboard and never to be seen again. I'll finish it one day. Cheers

wow indeed

I'm almost converted enough to modify one of my diecast models. I have a 1/18 Minichamps Capri thats begging to be coverted to a door slammer.

I have the same model and had a chassis capri as my drag car so i was going to do a replicar of that. They are not a bad model and fit a V8 in them real easy.
