Ferrari GTO Dirt Modified

This is an older build that I am moving here. I started with the Monogram Kit and combined it with an amt modified.



Mocked up the frame...



...and started hacking.

I have to ask what kind of modified car you are building? Is it a drag car, road racer, demo derby?

Dirt modified Buck.  lol

A little more hacking..ok, a LOT more hacking lol




and the fiddly little tube chassis....

A multi-million dollar dirt racer ??? ..only in dreams.
but liking the build so far !

 

I'm giving the Ferrari Police your address.....

Then I better get this one done before they get here. lol




I used the kit wheels and tires for the mock up, and set the body in place.



and the modified hood...

Oh Yea. A 512 Testarossa Pro Mod. That I am liking. Paul's right they are going cuff you and haul you away kicking and screaming.

Hilarious! Better than a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day! That's real thinking outside the box!

Buck, this is as far as it has gone. The body is sitting on four wheels and a hood scoop is sitting on the body. Not sure how to go about a drivetrain.


Ok, you all saw the kit hard plastic two piece tires and chrome rims i used in the mock ups. What I went with for the end result were a set of resin wheels from Freds Resin Workshop (which is now out of business) they are super detailed wheels. They are wrapped in a set of tires from a Monogram sprint car.





I then added a harness to the seat to help the cockpit out




Oh, and then the powerplant. As Clay would say, its "imagineered". I figured that if old Enzo was trying to get involved in grass roots racing, he might want to try a prototype Ferrari V8.

I like the headers. Where did you score them at?

This is Good !

Buck, I believe they came in the Amt 37 Chev modified kit.

Are you going to use a plastic spoon for the air cleaners bubble?  

Them're both outrageously COOL !!!
I love it !!!
  

Thanks Clay, i hoped you would like the imagineering.

Bruce, no spoons were injured in this model.


Ok, now this is where I am at. Finished the paintwork, and added some decals. The door decals silvered a bit, but I am planning on dirtying this one up, just have not done so yet. I also have the AMT 53 Ford Pu/trailer combo that I want to build one day for it.

 Enzo would be so happy to see this.   Looks good SAM. Out of te box for sure.

Cool !!!
