I decided to start working on my Contest entry before December creeps up on me and I miss the deadline.
I started custom building the chassis and I am using a muscle machines front end with a custom built rear end. The back tires will be run using a slot car gear and a Super Slicks motor. I used the COE original wheels but I fastened the front wheels using screws and nuts.
The body is a COE mold (my first) that I custom pored myself and plan to add the step sides and the back. I will leave the back end as a surprise for now as I have a couple of plans in the works and not sure what one I am going to use.
Ok now for the pictures…….
Oh and SG guess what color its going to be????? Hint (not blue)

Got some more work done thought I would share the WIP.
Here is the part I made under the cab to attach it to the chassis it screws on so it will hold better at high speed!
And the yellow pieces are the back wheel wells can you guess what they are made from???

As Hue did, I commented in the contest thread, but I have to comment here too.
I like to think I have a fairly good knowledge of the English language, but I felt the need to find a couple of new words, or ones I forgot, to insert for the description of this ride. (plus I don't have a job, so I have nothing better to do...
)
This ride is...
...consummate
...transcendent
...transmundane
...elysian
...entrancing
...Mephistophelian
This ride can NOT be...
...ostracized
The previous words were brought to you by the number "219" along with the letters "S", "W" and "G"...

Let's not forget:
a la belle étoile
a outrance
galliardise
meracious
orchidaceous
and of course, a chimaera work.
Yes, they're all words in the English language.
