Zippos Customs 2 in 1 70 GSX Beast
 

well it's been sitting on the shelf staring out me for a few weeks now. so i figured i'd open the body and set the body on a chassis and get some more pics.

got a few things up my sleeves on this project. Bought a resin wheelie bar, FAIL, was cheap, but upon closer inspection theres air pockets in the frame work, and the support bars. so its not very good. so looks like i get to make it now.

just broke the seal

Cool another project for me to watch yay! lol. but i like way its sitting in picture number 2 with those rims awesome. hopefully it comes out really good.

Cant weight to see this one when its done!!!!!:)

thanks man i'm hoping it turns out nicely too

thanks, and yeah gotta love the american muscle

thank you, and yeah some cars simple is better on the paint.

thanks man, and you gotta wait to see whats up there

thanks man, i am glad i'm getting to do more work on it now.

thanks

well we got the go to start the build, so i pulled her outta the box and started playing around and seeing what i can come up with. the tires i was wanting to originally used looked way too big when i got them. well after a little playing around i found a way to get them under the rear of this car and not have it sitting a couple inches off the ground. lol
like i have said to a few people, this car will not be built any sort of quick, and my updates aren't going to be real detailed ;)

that looks soooo sick

what are your tires made out of?

thanks man, and it's just getting started


they are made of a eurethane compound, super soft and super sticky.:D

Is this supposed to a drag racer now? oh well i'll miss those rims that on it the first time. might need a wheelie for that drag look.

looks good, i wanted to do something like that with my gto but never had the time. after this are you and g-fellaz gunna have a wheelie-off,lol.

dont worry man, i never said those other rims are gone ;)

lol, this build is going to span a few months, so i got some time to play with getting it set up.
lol, wheelie off, might have to look into that :lol:

sweet :-P i love the idea

looks like a project im keeping my eye on (i see a nice blower there ;)).

thanks, i'm liking it as well

no blower in this kit, but doesnt mean one isnt going in it ;)


well i've made some progress but all i'm posting is this.
i hate the look of the shiny tires, so i had to take car of that. looks much better now.
