I hope these are alittle bigger pics. The trailer is scratch built by me. The van came from a toy set I got at Big Lots and has a 4 gear under it. The coupe is on a JL and started its life as a Tyco 40 Ford. The top has been chopped, there is a fuel cell that will be installed after paint. Pvc has been added in a number of places. Air cleaner,pipes driver will be added after paint. Thats a quick run down of what is going on with the modified.

Got word from the paint shop today. Trailer is in the booth drying and they ran into a problem with the coupe. When they were appling the second color one side and only one side crystalized. They have to sand it down and start over. :cry::drunk::confused::( I'll post pictures as soon as I get it back. I did find property for my new shop. Also got a cherry picker, engine stand and a miller mig welder for the new shop. :woohoo: Sundance

Sundance, I believe I've been to that same paint shop. Same deal, they had to sand and repaint my car. They told me they got in a "bad run" of paint. Anyways, good luck and hope they get it straightend out. Looking forward to seeing the new shop. Sounds like your going to be doing some serious overhaul work. Come on, show us some stuff, don't make us beg!!! ... RM

Sundance,

Looks like you have got plenty of move around room which will be nice for easy acess. My neighbor told me when I decide to build my shed to make it big as, you can't make it bigger after it's all done.

Also becarefull where you set this thing. I had mine upstairs ontop of a piece of furniture and snagged the edge with my shirt.....Plop....smash....oh dang!:cry: Learned my lesson and have the Technology to rebuild it into the 6 million dollar shop if I can get some Goverment backing now. LOL

Bob...will check back later for progress...zilla

Bad news with the economy I lost the shop. I did manage to keep the cars and tools. Got A new job and a different home, and with the addition of my son's Wii ( getting my reflexes back) I am starting to race and build agian. So hopefully soon I can start breaking ground on the new shop. :wave:

I can't take credit for the paint. Thats was done by my pardner Wood. I did the build, he did the paint.

I have always been a Huge fan of this body as I raced one as a kid at our local hobby store races...Cool Beans! That is a TYCO body right? It used to be chrome with neon paint highlights.

Bob...Love the paint job too...zilla

Sundance

Yes it's a tyco body on top of a A/FX 4 gear chassis. The stk rims were shaved so I could get everything under the body. The blower is from a johnny lighting die-cast. I made my own body mounts and detailed as I could.
The car will be named Bad Bungadude. I plan to run this in proy races.
