Kannonball Kombi

Finally got this one off the bench, built as a cannonball run capable Kombi van,. It runs a Ford Cosworth overhead cam v8 and transaxle
from an early F1 car, which has been narrowed and also has a scratch built injection set-up, and mix matched exhaust, which exits from a custom
outlet built into the rear body work. The body has 3 inlet scoops, all were Mopar scoops, the one on the roof is actually moulded in upside down,
to allow for air to be dragged in for the engine to breath. The side scoops are for the twin radiators, one each side, also has a chassis mounted fuel tank.
Body is painted Candy pink over a white base, and has black/blue pearl fades and a slight blue pearl in the clear coat , the roof was another story altogether.
Wheels are Pegasus DZ's, low rider spokes.
Side doors were joined to make one, which flips up, and a big screen TV will then swing out for a late night viewing.












Well, after a slow start to the year, i now hope to get a few more done, there is a Mopar on the bench somewhere that needs finishing.

that is cool !! awesome dude !!

That thing is Insane Dale

Excellent mods man.....turned out real nice!

Like all the custom work and as always a killa paint job

Cool Dak Dak van,the heat from the engine would be a killer.

Well done

great job

Looks great DeeCee, well done. I love the finished product.

Well worth the effort mate. That is one sick puppy. Can I take it for a 'walk'`

Brilliant.
IRL I think the torque from the engine would either rip all the spokes out or tear up the tyres but who cares about real life?

This looks great , a cool build . I sometimes wonder where you get all these great ideas from ( I think someone is putting something in your Milo ).

turned out great.

It would get a little fumy in there, but man would it be fun to drive
Spectacular work as always Dale, turned out sweet as

Way cool man.....brilliant work.....great idea, great paint, great build. Cool ideas with the intakes too.
Well done mate sweet as!

Thanks guys, and no, there is nothing in the milo mate, inspiration is brought on through sheer stupidity sometimes, and " don't be scared to hack up a kit" is what i go by, most of the time it works out.

Roger that. It's only plastic after all.

Nice do the front doors open on these kits???

Thanks guys,

Yes Homer, they are supposed to open, but being an old kit, the external hinges are very brittle, and when you click them together
they tend to crack or snap right off, had it happen to 2 of these kits now. So just gave up and closed them before i did too much damage.

Cool thanks for that, I thought they must of with the bit of a gap round the doors, Good job all the same

Awesome paint job............ . ......

Glad to see it finished great build

Loving the build and colour

You're gunna run a cannonball on those little tars?

Great concept, brilliantly executed, love the paint, but please take plenty of spare wheels on the run.
