1970 altered wheelbase hemi charger

[Dart_Doctor]

Well I cleaned out the display and found this abomination of a pink charger I built when I was starting. Yes I cleared over the glass lmao noob! Any way. A thing is happening idk if I'm good enough but here we go. I'm going to build my own altered wheel race car outta 2 junk yard kits ! . Like with a real car we are going to cut her up !

 

[RustyRatRod]

That'll be different!

 

[Hellrats]

[Garrett Ellison]

Very true! Cleaned up the work space then starting on the frame work. Got the interior tub cut to fit as well I pulled the hood outta the fast and furious charger(I was never going to build it as such) so I can use the flat hood on it. I'm also going to pull the blown hemi outta that kit as well . Also the roll bar .

Had to make some spacers for the k member we are still in mock up mode I'm setting up the wheel bace on the front right now.

Thanks I'm welding the new 1/4s today

 

[Dart_Doctor]

Well I got the other side welded in. It went much better then the 1st because I knew how I messed the other side up lol nothing alittle body work can't fix. Now we are off to the dipper

 

[Dart_Doctor]

Well here's where I'm at with the altered wheel charger the body is still in the dipper I've got the blown hemi almost together the original hemi I will use in my next project. Also started smoothing the rails so I can build the front bars. Still unsure if I'm going to move the k member or scratch build a straight axle for it. Input is welcome on that.

What's the purpose of the dipper?

What's the purpose of the dipper?

To get all the old paint off for new paint and body work to start

So there's actually a paint remover that works on plastic and doesn't eat it up?

OK big update today the bodies outta the dipper. I've started rebuilding the interior tub. Found a good nose bar set up from the parts Ben to be slightly modified. Also my.welding of the 1/4s didn't hold after the dipper so I've glued and braced them waiting on that to dry then it's time for body work.

 

[Dart_Doctor]

Mock up I thinking done Fer today.

 

[Dart_Doctor]

OK this is really it it's bed time lol I finished the interior tub it's ready for paint and cage. Started sanding on the body. Started mud work on the chassis.

Most degreasers work also (Purple Power, etc.).

Are you going to put weights in the trunk so it balances in the perfect wheelie? My buddy Steve Magnante does that pretty frequently.

I used to build models by the dozen, all through my childhood. I have a few still in boxes. May have to get back into it.
