That's the best looking use for a Lifelike Dodge ( the ugly body) I've seen!!! The scoop and rear wing bring her to life. I likes them drag cars!!! Can I ask where do you get the decals, Jegs & Mopar ??? Glad to see you doing the hardbodies, also. Thanks for the pics, RLM

SKR, I believe you and I are on the same page. I likes them scoops!!! Here's a couple of cars I added the big scoops to. I wish I had known about Pattos's. I tried making the Summit decals, If you look close you can see the transparent paper I used, but I can live with it. How about a grudge race??? I don't know if a gasser could hang with a prostock!!!

Hey, SKR!

I was never impressed with the LL rolling eggs....well.....except yours!
These days, the flopper bodies have the same sort of rounded and washed-out details that your LL lends very well to the genre, yeah?? It sure looks fast! The Camaro looks super-cool, too, eh! You captured that mod-retro look perfectly! Excellent work! :thumbsup:

Hilltop, you seem to be single-handedly trying to fill the entire "Pi$$ed-off fruit bowl"
Two more beautiful examples of citrus gone-wrong! :D I LOVE THESE CARS! :thumbsup:

Eggs and fruit is gooood for you!!! I believe I picked the green scoop up at a slotcar show, can't remember, old age!!! Playing Mantis had a couple of cars with the same style scoop, that I have used. RLM

To Hilltop,
Great custom work. Very impressive and what an eye that you have for the total look! What about some nostalgia stuff if you have any to share.

Hey skr,

I'll put this past you. Why don't you cast the hood scoops in resin? Or, Once you have you bodies morphed into what you want resin cast them over and over again. It will save you a lot of modeling time trying to dulicate a scoop or body once you have EXACTLY the way you want it. Like the Probe. That stance is perfect!! Let me know if you need help doing that.

skr,

What chassis are you running? What wheels are you using? Those babies are really tucked under the rear wells nicely.

Just seen your other post. I've never messed around with resin. It would be cool to get some cast of some pro stocks. I'll send you an email later on.

Thanks guys, glad you liked it!!! The engine, shute, and wheelie bar are from a Muscle Machines diecast. Hemi Hustler decal is from TMead. 440X-2 chassis. The wheelie bar is not as good as SKR's but it will work. I saw his good looking cars, and I had to have something. That should do it for the yellow paint, no gaurantees!!!

Funny thing happened to me as I strolled through the isles of my local autoparts store.

I walked by a huge display of duplicolor paints and somehow...(and this part is still kind of foggy, mind you)...I ended up walking out the door with my purchases that included a big-ol-can of bright yellow paint!......it was as if i were in a dream........or a rock video. :D

The yellow kind'a works on your mind!!! It's loud and stands out!!! Do some tests with it before spraying clear on top!!! I ended up using Testors or Model Masters clear. Be sure and post the pics when finished!!! RLM

May not be that skr wanted to? This place only allows so much photo space. I was noticing that last night when I posted some photos. I will have to go back and eliminate some of my stuff too just to make room for new postings.
