I know, I know!  But I have to do it again!  ;D ;D ;D In the meantime, I started thinking of something new to build! I stuck the Groovy-graders body together and took a few modifications. Here is a rough summary of the individual components:    Even a few interventions, and it is already done! ;D ;D ;D I hope you like it. |

Like it?! Are you kidding me. I don't think you've built anything that I don't like yet. But I'm with Tim, you are killing me too. But wow the imagination.
This brings to mind a point that somebody or several people tried to make some time ago. If you think there are only so many ways or so many times you can use a TD kit for a build, think again! With 70+ different kits, the options are endless. Way to go Bobby on another wild and crazy TD kit bash.

Love the Ice "T" fenders, gives it an aero-dynamic kinda look.

Man that is coming along great Bobby. Those ICE T pods look really cool. That thing is starting to take the shape of some kind of jet fighting street rod. Maybe you should mount some kind of guns on it somewhere. That'd be wicked cool.

Thank`s! A.J.: I will be thinking about this idea! Even with this project, it means: Primed and sanded, everything is still in rough condition... A first location determination.   Here you can see the opening channels for the front axle:  That is the modified front axle from the Sand Shark:  And it fits:   Thanks for looking, and feel free to add your two cents whenever... ;D |

Nice. What are the rear tires from? They look like giant sponge slot car tires. In a good way.

Thank you! ;D This is only a small compared with what is different now:  For this project, I use on the front spoked wheels , as in several TD kits are involved: www.showrods.com/showrod_pages/bad_medicine.htmlwww.showrods.com/showrod_pages/sand_shark.htmlwww.showrods.com/showrod_pages/trantula.htmlonly to name a few... This spoke wheels are unfortunately only on the front detailed, on the back, they are too much thick. My opinion. Comic spoke wheels, if I can not see between the spokes... Therefore, I edit the spokes, a little. Above the originals, the edited below:  Above the originals, the edited below:  Left the original, right the edited:  This is my tool:  And then the result is ready:  Well, this interference requires a lot of time, but afterwards they are much nicer wheels... |

 Any questions? I hope you like it so far... Man Bobby in my comment about the contest I even forgot about this one and it's one that I really like! This shot is just killer of it! If I were to make one suggestion, I'd say that it might look cooler if the blower scoop was turned forward in this application. It sticks up over the roof and it looks like the lines would flow even better. I like it either way, this is such a cool build! Don't forget about the guns though! This build looks like it's begging for some Red Baron guns or something. Very cool! |

dog catcher ''winglets'' on the front end (same as the one you are using) would work well with the aero theme here.

Gotta love this stuff! To add to what AJ said, a poison point scoop would flow well with the body.
More Wine, please!!!!!
