1/32 Tom Daniel Camaro F/C

I built this earlier this year for a contest on another board, themed "Tom Daniel " and a tribute to our friend Bob "Hot Wheels" Boehm.
For some reason I thought it would look cool with the engine moved forward.
It is actually dark red.





















The site is owned by Todd Russell, the trunk lid was a tribute to him and Bob
This is actually closer to the dark red.





The chassis in the rear is box stock, the ft. one shows my mods.



I sanded off the hemi plug holes to make it "closer" to a Chevy
The blower and injector are from an original release TD F/C, I recently took them off to cast them.



I scratch built ft. and rear wheels then made a mold and casted them.







I used three halves of the kit slicks to widen them









Kit used: 1/32 Tom Daniel Whiplash Camaro F/C
Paint: Raw Plastic Dark Red with decals then spray can Tamiya clear on top
Engine: from kit
Chassis: modified from kit
Tires and wheels: Ft. resin cast, rear rims resin, tires widened kit slicks
Extras: I replaced the windshield with blower cut out, with one from a Trans Am donor






We miss you Bob

Thanks 

Jim

ps: no, I didn't win, LOL, that honor went to Bob "too old" Spedding, with the coolest "Honest Engine" train you ever saw!

Cool little build Jim. Nice work casting those wheels too.
