Badbat Super Chase Bus peek!!

Well I just couldnt wait any longer to show this one off!  Plus I just finished up the very detailed custom chassis..lol
The bus (except the BadBat  logo on top.) Is ALL PAINT!  One of one…candy blue and pearl blue two tone with custom mixed pearl silver flames. Also you might notice the side flames are shadowed which is also hand painted. Top is same design as the regular editions but is done with custom mixed silver pearl with fade and details to tribal bat  of light charcoal. This is also the only bus in the series with vw logo on nose.

The chassis….well first it was HEAVILY POLISHED.   The large exhaust brace was chopped up leaving a much smaller realistic brace.  Notice you can see through all the way at rear of engine.  This left an unsightly gap which was filled with epoxy and molded/sanded to the contours of the transmission housing.  Looks much better!  All three exhausts were drilled out and polished.  Details abound on engine and chassis.  Plus its riding on blue chrome 5sp.wheels, with silver stripe real riders…leveled..to lowest possible height and fronts narrowed (chassis) to ride inside body.  Coming soon!

Rolling effortlessly on dub city and big time muscle five spokes.  Coming up for sale soon!

 

 

 

57 Chevy Classic cast – a work in progress!!!

57 Chevy...in process!!! 57 Chevy..in process!


Here is a process look at one Im doing as part of a special commissioned set.
Its one of the older casts of the 57 chevy..metal body and engine.  Ive added some nice meats from Maisto Pro Rides (note the brake rotors visible behind wheels!)  These things required some pretty extensive modifications to the inside of fender areas and major shaving to the interior piece.  Both have custom solid brass rod axles with Stainless Steel sleeves for best possible rolling.  It was leveled out to a low and a slightly raked stance.
Then I drilled out the side exhaust and all 8 injectors on engine.  Then gave te injectors a 45degree file to appear more like the 50s era.  Ready to start the paint prep stage I believe!
