Well here is my new project. I am really into RC cars. I had a Ford f-350 High Lift but i got run over by a car.

I found this killer 1966 mustang on ebay for $30 because of a broken front axle and saw my next project.

So I went to the book store and purchased 1 mustang book and 2 hotrod books to help with the build. I have never built a scale car, so I needed some material to help me get started.

After reading up, here is the new frame and roll cage.

Here are a few shots of the wheels and tires that I found for the build.

Here is the old chassis, it is going to the junk yard, but the wheels were pretty cool in the day.

So time for the specs:

Brass chassis and roll cage
Tamiya semi rear axle
maybe some mini t shocks
tamiya m chassis wheels and tires
possibly some twin motors under the opening hood of the car.
full lights and interier

More to come

Update

Here are some pics of the body dissassembled, and nothing broke, but it did take a few hours to get everything loose.

cool....takes time and precision that's impressive

cool, but I keep it simple, Xmods, and 1:10 electric, especially since my 2nd nitro car blew in less than 2 months.

just using a cheap 1:10 radioshack RSX now and Xmod fully done tC with my own straight line upgrade.

Well I am getting out of XMODS, I am trying to SALE my Red Supra body and Black hummer Body

Also here is a UPDATE

TIme for pics

My dad helped me with this part. Also this well be for sell when done

What is that frame made out of? I like how the rust was even true to the original.

nice stuff but i would like to correct you no offense just been bugging be in alot of ur threads its sell not sale lol

correct use for the word sale
example: These items are for sale

correct use for the word sell
example: I will sell you this item

sorry im being nit-picky im sure u know how to use the word correctly and i miss spell ALOT so no hard feelings feel free to correct me anytime lol

Yeah dude, plus tidbits of information like that will help you make the honor roll and make you a more rounded individual.

thats pretty freaking cool.

props.

i dont have enough patience working on my full size car. i can only imagine how much finesse that requires.

if the motor was in the front it wud be perfect, but its just a fancy Xmod to me. gonna go race tomoro, scion beast!

and I actually broke the driveshaft of the Xmod hummer.
