Posted June 14, 20177 yr Hello Everyone! Today I an here to show my latest MOC, The Muscle Machine. It was built mainly to satisfy my desire to turn this outline of a car into a reality. It soon evolved into a project to use a mini V- engine used by DugaldlC in his Aston Martin Vantage GT3. That was soon extensively modified into a V8 muscle car engine. So here it is, featuring that engine, HoG steering, in-car steering, an adjustable seat, and light, aggressive bodywork. The problem with the bodywork is that a part is illegal and creates stress (the C-pillars) and it is not all sturdy, The back of the bodywork and part of the chassis is very strong, though. I know it's far from perfect. That's not the point. It is mainly just a test vehicle, a concept. But please tell me what you like and what you don't. Thanks!
June 14, 20177 yr I had a diffrenet vision of muscle machine in my mind, this looks more like (dune) buggy. I don't know, maybe there's something changed in the USA after lats president election?
June 14, 20177 yr Interesting concept, for me the side of it feels a little bit empty, I'd add something there. As Jurss said this vehicle looks more like a buggy so I'd also expect it to have more ground clearance.
June 14, 20177 yr This is cool and a very good concept! 9 hours ago, Jurss said: I don't know, maybe there's something changed in the USA after lats president election?
June 14, 20177 yr Author @Jurss@kbalage I tried to make it like a dune buggy for the street. Also It has it's name because of the muscle car engine. If anyone was wondering, I made the front by cutting a 3L rigid hose and bending it to hold the pins in the beams and 4L thin beam between them. LDD will be made.

Enjoy! Edited June 18, 20177 yr by Offroadcreat1ons
