 Brand new 2010 Coupe 3.25" wheel version. I threatened to do this last year while we were talking about wind tunnels.
It's the first stage of a 1/4 scale Coupe. To give you an idea of scale it's about 31" long and 14" wide
Also in my garage are some scale wheels that i've had for years, a 24cc strimmer engine that needs a carb overhaul, and plenty of r/c gear.
I'll be making moulds if anyone wants one of their own?
More pics tomorrow hopefully.

Re: Brand new 2010 Coupe 3.25" wheel version. Reminds me of the Snow GTM I made a couple of Years back.
I have a CFD simplified model of a GTM somewhere, I wil lhave to try and get that software I have up and running again if i can remeber how to get it to work on windows.

That'd be cool. Quote: Some one else shops at Aldi then. Too right! I didn't think it was possible to spend £115 at Aldi in one hit - till they had a load of air tools in a couple of weeks ago.

Re: Brand new 2010 Coupe 3.25" wheel version. Pics have uploaded backwards to what I intended but:
Donor car. Erm, Truck:
And progress on bodyshell:
Can of beer for scale purposes - Honest.
I've started on the chassis too, but it's a bit of a bodge at the mo, so no pics.

Re: Brand new 2010 Coupe 3.25" wheel version. That's brilliant...! I'd like a mould when they're finished...

Re: Brand new 2010 Coupe 3.25" wheel version. Shouldn't be a problem The way it's looking, the body is going to be a kit in itself. Parts will be Main body, front clam, engine cover, both doors, both sills, and rr bumper - so more bits than the original. It's really making me realise how intricate the original shape is - if something is out by about 2mm it looks really wrong.

Re: Brand new 2010 Coupe 3.25" wheel version. And I want to point out that the only reason it is RED is because that's the only colour I had in a rattle can that I have no other use for. It's not going to be red as the finished article.
