Lights are awesome Aren't those wheels that you are using the ones from the 41999...? Those are the 6 pinhole wheels...
March 12, 201411 yr I bought 6 pinhole grey wheels from eBay and painted them black. had my brother do some professional taping and i painted the white lines on the outside because I thought the ones from the special edition truck looked sweet! I wasn't patient enough to clear coat them, so now the white paint is starting to wear off :( And, since I'm a proud American, ive got some Red White and Blue goin' on!
March 12, 201411 yr Hey Everyone. I've got my video review of Paul's Muscle Car posted on YouTube: Edited March 12, 201411 yr by Osuharding1
March 14, 201410 yr Yes, congrats on the front page! Creating a build such as this one is an amazing feat! I didn't catch it from earlier, if it was already said, but how much is it to buy all the parts to make this vehicle?
March 14, 201410 yr I had about 25% of the pieces in my inventory (including the wheels and tires) and I spent about $260 getting the remaining parts from bricklink.
March 15, 201410 yr Nice model and video review! Personally I would love to see how the muscle car would look like when using the tires of 42000 on the rear axle. Is anyone able to show such a picture? Thanks in advance.
March 17, 201410 yr Does anybody know what muscle car this resembles? It looks like a thunderbird or an old camaro z28

It looks like a thunderbird or an old camaro z28 According to the description in the instructions, it was based on several muscle cars from the 60's. I think it looks like a Mustang/Camaro mix.

March 23, 201410 yr http://www.brickshel...ry.cgi?f=541310 here is my version of this wonderful car :) many thanks to crowkillers for another great model, as you may notice I have changed the red stripe to yellow, also replacing some of the pins and axles with black ones where I can.

March 23, 201410 yr Nice car, but it would be better if it had PF, and yes chrome wheels would be a nice eye catcher

If you did not design model with priority for PF, it is better off without it. Drivetrain, maybe even steering setup may not handle it right. And it would be really shame to ruin the perfect lines and overall look of the car with motors, receivers, batteries...:)
March 24, 201410 yr I am currently working on adding power functions to my model now because there is so much room. However, I do not think they will make it better than it is because the gearbox will be eliminated. It will be fun to drive it around though. Edited March 24, 201410 yr by Meatman

What motors are you using?

I don't expect anything spectacular in terms of speed, but it will be a pleasant experience to see it in motion.
April 9, 201410 yr Wow.. That Black/Orange looks really really nice... Those Orange Bushings are about as rare as rare can get...
