THE "INTIMIDATOR"
Hello All,
This was supposed to be a quick build to get back into it in between renovating the house. Well, it got a bit out of hand,
Started by makeing a Twin Turbo set-up out of solder just to give the HEMI that little bit more POWER !, scratch built the induction set-up as well.
Removed the rear leaf spring set-up and made a 4-link deal for it, much easier than trying to lower a leaf set-up and look realistic i think.
Paint is straight black auto acrylic with bright red stripes, hood scoop is from the GTX kit, with the guts cut out. Bumpers were painted as i
didn't want too much chrome, thats why there is no BMF, badges are left black, shaved door handles, they stood out like dog proverbials, inner head lights
have been left out and drilled the buckets for turbo intakes.
thanks for looking guys,

Re: THE "INTIMIDATOR"
Better fit some headrests in this sucker...or at least head restraints...that's going to snap some necks when the pedal hits the metal. Wicked. Love it.

Nice build DeeCee, it has turned out great. The only thing thing I'd say I don't like is the side exit exhausts, other than that

Madness. Great stuff Dale, it looks tough sitting low with the blacked out chrome.

Wow that turned out super tuff Dale. The intake setup is not unlike that of King Kong Cuda’s

Re: THE "INTIMIDATOR"
I love it DeeCee, especially the fact that I am using the same paint scheme and engine setup on a build at the moment, so I am happy that I made the right choice.
