regarding the wing, i'd say it needs to go up on a steeper angle. if you could curve it upwards, then that's what i mean.
but that's just me

I was just thinking the same thing - the wing is the right size, if you could just roll the back edge upwards on a curve.

Box installed and sealed.

I'm not really sure it needs a steeper angle, but I might roll it a little if you think it really needs it.

I like how on this one the box is sorta triangular, and the air foil sorta extends down the sides.

Yeah, I liked that one too. My styrene's too thick, I'm not good enough, the sun was in my eye, the wind was blowing....

Opinions?

Thanks guys! Rear needs a little more tubbing (oops dropped it too low), and the front springs stretched to compensate for the tiny-ass pizza cutters. Should have install finished tonight. Anyway, these are a 2 piece rim, held together by tire; much like the Import Tuner cars.

Um, wow the boy knows his cars. 1,000 points to Shaun, they were off a Muscle Machines nitro coupe "Stinger" a '33 Willy's 5-window. I bought it at an autoparts store. Pretty amazing detail on the whole car

when i see rims like that i always get the "brrap brrap brapp" sound of a mean v8 idling in my head! (yes, really)

(fuck i love the sound of a v8!

)

Well get ready for some more of that beautiful "BRRAP Brrap brrap brapp" sound...

I actually took the time to do these pics like I ment it. Damn it needs paint now.

Though I'm sorry, it's only an incredibly mean Opposed-4 instead of a V8.

definately looks muscle. if you can drop the front even lower it will look even meaner

I can see that thing popping wheelies already.

That's coming along real good. Can't wait to see it finished now.

Phuck Yeah

Yeah, I have no problems with the ride height with those wheels. The right wheels make all the difference.

If you go with a lighter color, you might want to sand off those number plates before you paint. Because of the black on white contrast, they showed through the white primer on mine. Sucks because I had to lay the paint so thick to cover them.
