52 Deluxe Project

[Gene]

It's been a while since the last time I built a car so, I'm going to try to have this thing ready for the hunnert car pile up in October. So no new r/c toys this year..

Here's a car that's a bit different than whats usually on here.

So far, I'll be running the stock front end but with a disc brake conversion kit. I'm just waiting for my mastercylinder to get here The rear end will be out of an s10 on 2" wide leafs (stock is like 1.5")

For the drivetrain, I have a decent 350 w/ and an old school draw through rajay turbo. A fresh 200r4 should good.

Tires- Some g78-15 with a 3.25" white wall. (later I may go to 670-15 with a 4.5" white wall) on some black stealies.

I'll knock out the body work and paint it a metalic satin blue. I have all the stainless trim that will go back on as well as the bumpers.

So, not too much to be done with it this year, but next year I'll put a mustang II front end and a 4 link (notched frame channels) with bags. I'm a welder by trade so making strong welds ain't no biggie, but the geometry setting it up will be a nice challenge. And then I'll most likey swap out the motor for something else, like a (bmw) M50 megasquirted or whatever, just to be different.

1. this will never be nufn' but a boat anchor

2. drums on the front???

3.www g78-15, about 4.5" wide..... tread width wide, no rims yet

4. pulling it apart, I do have the hood

5. time to pull the boat anchor and weld in some new mounts for the v8
