34 coupe

This project has been in limbo for quite a while. It's 1/3 scale, but it's not an enormous model. Actually it's just about the right size, approx. 42" long. This is the only car that i considered using real go-cart tires on (happen to have them laying around). My original intent was to build a retro type prostreet, tubbed, blown, vintage 5 spoke wheels, 4 link suspension, bitchin' long tube headers and a bad attitude!!........

This car got pushed aside for some other projects, not for a lack of enthusiasm, but sometimes I get a little ahead of myself. When it came time to build the Battleship trailer, I needed real tires and wheels for the trailer since it actually gets put in the water. Needless to say, I snatched them badboys right off the coupe without a second thought!!! They were perfect for the trailer, and I don't regret it at all.......now, what to do with the coupe?.....it's been collecting dust for quite some time......... Then it came to me in a single flash of genius!!!!...........This will go a different direction than most of the cars I've built so far. The tires and wheels will be a set that I made for the F/C that were too small. They are much bigger than scale, but will definitely be way over the top!!! I'm gonna rebuild the motor, make it about 1/3 bigger than scale, give everything almost a cartoonish look, change the proportions of everything but the frame and body, finish it with old hotrod type primer, maybe even lean a little towards the ratrod look.....some bolts, rivets, maybe some bailing wire.....flying eyeballs, fuzzy dice.....straight pipes......and a big ol' bucket full of Bad Attitude!!!!!!
