Pro Del Rio

Awesome !!!!!

Cheers guys, Tom, yes it will be low, but what a bugger trying to get it there, the chassis hangs down too low, so it's time to start choppin'......
Firstly, i need to make some room for rear wheels....



Then the front's wont fit....


Unfortunately, there is still not enough room, so back out with the scalpel
And then the fire wall needed a few scale inches taken out of it, to be able to lift the whole floor and chassis up off mother earth..


Now, back to the bench...

I am glad you follow grasshopper.....

Well, after these pics were taken, I found the wheels are still too wide to fit, so off came more of the inner wheel wells, all of it actually, I will now have to do some braces like a pro street car,
but at least I can get it low enough and still have fat rubber, just how I like them....
Will take some more pics tonight mate..

Very cool rims!!



That little bowl / tub of powder. Is that ground down plastic for body filler?

GEEZ , there is nothing you miss in a picture of my place is there......  
Yes buddy, plastic sanding, and drop it over some CA super glue, it is a great gap filler. 

And thanks too, both of you Tom and John, got a bit more done today, but will get some pics soon..

Very ingenious, quite elusive, yet incredibly strengthening - superior thinking, from the plastic intimidation MASTER!!

Well, into the serious side of things, MOTOR and HORSEPOWER!!!!!

A couple of Turbo's that i received in my prize package, mounted down nice and low so as not to give anything away...
Now this means i need a couple of holes in the support panel for the intercooler pipes.



In this pic, you can see where i have started shaving tiny amounts off the bottom of the radiator, to compensate for the channeling of the chassis.

SaWeeeeTT!!!!

Thanks for following guys, Mr Tubbs, i know what you mean mate, cut one thing, and all hell breaks lose.....

Here are a few more things i needed to modify, for the same reason, to compensate for all the other mods...

Removed the tunnel, as it was not deep enough, and the tail shaft would not touch the diff.
I replaced it with an old pro stock tunnel, only mounted backwards, i need the extra depth at the rear.




Then the diff housing looked like it would house axles like chicken bones, so i am beefing that up too.


Also had to remove the outer spring hangers, and moved them inside the chassis rail, now have to manufacture a 4 ling rear..... somehow... thinking-hard-smiley-emoticon



Back to the bench.......

Wait till you see the next instalment, if it works out that is, i'm still trying to get my head around what i am trying to build.......  thinking-hard-smiley-emoticon

I appreciate the thought mate,  THANKS!

The reason i prime everything after modding it, is that i can see the scratches and imperfections easier, and cut plastic will suck up the paint and swell
sometimes, like when you sand the badges off............after it dries, a  quick wipe with some wet/dry, and a scratch looks like a crater, but it is also pretty well filled.
It also gives me a "feel" for what it's going to look like.  Also, the longer the undercoat is down, the better it seals  and hardens. As i use auto paints, and usually lay my paint on fairly heavy
it prevents the plastic sucking the paint up and getting those swirl marks etc in the plastic under the paint. 
If i get a hankering for a color, i can also just go out and squirt it, as it is already primered. 

If I ever get to the level you and Les are, in cutting and chopping up stuff, I will definitely do this primer trick. I as well prime more than I need to I think, but like you said Dale, it shows the imperfections much better before the paint is flying. I think I need to use some gray primers though, I have always preferred white, so when the paint goes down, it helps the color to be as bright as it can, but my eyes not being as good as they used to be, I see the marks and swirls and what not better with gray primer.

Very nice work DC..This is gonna look great!

nice work. are you going to make an upper bar? coil over or shock? looking real sweet.
