Oh yeah I also painted the chassis, hinged the hood, attached cables to the hood pins, redone the back, and made some front inner fenders.

Looking good. Love the wheels

[Johnnysplits]

Thanks, but those wheels are gonna be short lived. They are cheap plastic that are going to get destroyed the first time out im sure. Got to save a bit and get some aluminum wheels and a good set of tires.

good job on the chassis, going to have to copy your idea

[ZippoMan]

That thing sits very high!! It must tip over lots.

[Johnnysplits]

Couldn't tell ya. Haven't had it outside yet, just living room testing over pillow hills. I do have a question though. This thing always wants to lift the left front tire and stay in that position while driving forward. Is this normal or should I go for heavier springs and thicker shock oil?

Copy away my friend. But if your gonna paint, do a good prep job first then spray. I used Krylon fusion for plastics. Can says "no sanding, just spray it on" which stupid me did and now if I touch something wrong, a small piece will chip off.

Couple more shots

Made some changes, need some constructive criticism guys. I made side panels, changed the color, went to a 4 pin hold down for the hood, and changed the rear down bars. I like the yellow, but maybe it should be a lighter shade. Not sure if i'm diggin the red chassis now with yellow panels...looks like a Hulk Hogan wraith. Maybe silver would go better with the yellow.

[oldcoopdog]

ya that dont match at all. i think like a gunmetal gray would look awesome.

[Calderwood]

Ronald would be proud.

[Johnnysplits]

Yeah. I realized that iv'e made a Hulk Hogan edition wraith LOL. Maybe a lighter yellow with silver chassis. Maybe i'll pick up a can of gunmetal gray and do a little test.

Now that would be some funny shit...the McDonald's edition wraith. Maybe they'll give me a free lunch LOL

[oldcoopdog]

[BADASSPONY]

Took the advice. Panels sprayed charcoal gray metallic and are drying in the garage. Thought I might do a pair of black deck stripes on the hood tomorrow night.

Ok standby a few. The hood has gotta be dry by now. I'll go to the garage and check it out.

[Johnnysplits]

Ok here we go. No more Ronald Mc F'n Donald car. This is the color that will stay. Decals and number plates to come over the weekend.
