Title: Tobias chassis, Vicky body Dirt Modified finished
Post by: Hondo on July 28, 2019, 07:57:30 PM

Finally got this one finished today.
Not sure where this thing would race since it's a combination of ideas & memories over the years.
It's not supposed to be any real car or accurate, but overall it was fun to build.
Not too bad for a couple months, but I do believe I'll build something other than a Toby chassis next.......

Yep, it was worth the wait.  Thats a pretty sneaky looking mod build---the type that would slip up and punt the lead car into the cheap seats and go for the win.  Too bad its not the real thing, I would like to see Emmett Hahn or Jack Belk turn a few hot laps with it.  For a little more display flavor, add a burned up right rear on it!  Hehe!  Nice work Hondo, clean and neat!

Problem is your hands get glued together and the Tobias frame is still in pieces.

This sits really nice Hondo, and the way you chopped and sectioned the body makes for a very believable modified , even if you say it is a fantasy piece. 
Cheers
