A new hobby

[nate12346]

Well I have spare time and its too cold to work on my BII and I'm too broke to spend extra cash on it lol. So, I started a model car project to keep me busy. check it out! Ill update the progress lol. It comes completely unpainted.

I got the frame put together, suspension, steering link,and sway bar installed, and painted it

Here is the engine put together and painted. Its about the size of a nickle with about 20 parts glued together

So what truck has a four corner leaf suspension, a V-6 engine, a transfer case on the passenger side, and a rear gas tank?

I use to do model cars when I was little. My first model was a Chevy S-10. I picked the S-10 to remind my mom how much she hated the S-10 at work. Because the S-10 had no A/C.

Hope he can figure out the wiring, might have to go carbed to keep it simple

Glad to see you're still lurking!


This thread inspired me to poke around in my model collection again. Looks like I have a 93 F-150 kit with a 351 engine to finish building. Although I've been toying with the idea of kitbashing and adding some big slicks on the back...

So I went kit bashing as well and found an edlebrock carb and filter off a 1970 chevy stepside ha. this is oddly fun. I don't know how the wireing will work, I think I'll keep it carbed

Didn't some old Chevy V-8s have siamesed ports like the 2.8?

Has a PS drop t-case, which also points to chevy.

Also, its already carbed, so he won't have to worry about emissions BS.
