I thought exactly the same thing! There's some interesting stuff going on there, albeit probably accidentally. How you'd make a successful car...
How do you suppose a "hot rods gone wrong" thread would go over? The internet is full of pictures of these kinds of motorised "more extreme than...
It's admittedly hard to square my liking for some of these things, with how lame I think others are. Might be that it's the difference between...
The German rules seem to largely hinge on whether or not the guy who's inspecting your car has any interest in such things. It seems to come down...
Here I am, just in the nick of time, answering a question from 2016! That is a Brazilian Emi-Sul motor, as fitted to a late-60s Chrysler product,...
What a mind blowingly cool project. Don't take this as criticism, because it's not meant that way, but I am a little surprised that you didn't go...
Wow, that's quite the reconstruction job.
Came across this concept art, which looks like it has some Beatnik Bandit influence. (Edit: It's Bill Cushenberrys "Silhouette". [ATTACH] Mustang...
Looking great. Have a color picked out?
Made me wonder if the grille/chassis was from a British Ford Model C, but it doesn't appear so. These were usually four door saloons, so I guess...
I love it. It really has that "tin toy" aesthetic, which I'm a big fan of. Best use I've seen of a '35 grille too.
Oh absolutely. I make no pretence that I'm caring about anything but the looks, form over function. In my defence, there were Lincoln Zephyr three...
Foose is building one with the top lopped off.
Looking at this, I'm almost surprised Chevy didn't build these, as it would have needed minimal new panels. Starting with the Coupe, you get a...
Possibilities... [ATTACH]
It's a lot more "normal car" looking. Looking at this car, I ended up quite liking it as stock (well, once you've removed the giant waterfowl...
From another thread a day or two back... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Moved the headlights outboard as I felt like the 'eyes too close together' look made the car even more rotund looking. Also got rid of some of the...
I'd agree that the stock top on these is a bit clunky. The slim body makes it look even taller than it is. They never built a three window coupe,...
'49 Chevy coupe with a lot of reshaping (curved the front fenders and hood downwards) and a stretched wheelbase at the front. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Actually did a sort of coupe sedan mash up the other day and then managed to delete it, so i started over. Removed the headlights, as they kind of...
Just wanted to play with this. The rear quarters are a little strange on these, so I went with something different and slightly more modern (circa...
Hey Madfish. Good idea. I'm always happy to do some creative stuff. Here's some more old British tin, a Humber Sceptre before and after......
What a cool project.
This, which has something of an updated Lincoln Zephyr style to it. [ATTACH]
I like this, but I feel like there might be a bit much height in the nose, above the grille in particular, there's a lot of real estate and the...
That looks terrific Madfish.
Cool little car. I'd ditch the sign writing though fwiw.
The RC model industry has you covered if you really want a small radial motor. Just one example here. THough these tend to be fairly small...
Quite like your take. I actually stretched the nose a little from stock already and lowered the headlights. It bothered me that the car curves...
