danoneism 0 Posted May 5, 2009 here's my other project for the HWCM fast & furious GB. its a Dodge Charger R/T.... this car doesnt need so much customization work compare to the evo7 im doing. but, i think i need to redesign the hood and find an engine which looks similar in the movies.... do you guys have any suggestion from which car i can get it??? here's the car pic from the movie... so far i've decarded the car..... and separate the body with the base.... nothing much in progress since im currently busy doing my assignment.... anyway i'll gonna hunt some paint remover tomorrow.... cheers...

danoneism 0 Posted May 8, 2009 hye guys..... today ive paint another coat of flat black which i think its quite enough.. dont want the color to be thick... ive also painted the front part with the same colour.. still searching for the engine to be use.. ive looked at several car engines and i think the one on the fiat500 dragster would be nice to fit on.. but not similar as the car in the movie.... huhu...

danoneism 0 Posted May 8, 2009 actually bro sinclair the charger also uses big wheels on the rear and smaller on the front... hehe... but i dont know if the viper wheels will fit... i only got reg TH viper.. dont have th$ version Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raymond 0 Posted May 8, 2009 sinclair maybe two sets of front wheels will do i guessbut the problem is finding the donorbro danoif u want the car car to be 100% hwheels u should use the Th$ wheels but if any brand ok with then try maisto series for the wheels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danoneism 0 Posted May 8, 2009 i was just thinking if the uncle at summit usj selling johnny lighting wheels... hehe... anyway maisto wheels may be a good idea since it will cost less... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sinclair 0 Posted May 8, 2009 If can fit, I think the Maisto wheels will be better than the TH$. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danoneism 0 Posted May 8, 2009 guys... i think the rims is the pic quite simillar... got it from maisto's blog... what do u guys think???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SanLino 0 Posted May 9, 2009 i feel Maisto's CS are a bit expensive to be used as wheel donors but i also have no idea how much loose $uper costs outside so.. up to u.. hehee but i feel $ Viper rims are more similar to the 1 in the movies cause those rims in real life are used for beefed up muscle cars.. u can see the spokes are also almost similar.. for me, Maisto CS rims are too "bling"..

eight 0 Posted May 9, 2009 nice work in progress... i think about the rims... dont waste to most money on the wheels... if cheap then by buy a car & take the wheels.. if not just use whatever u got... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
