Now don't go blaming me!

This thing is gonna be beyond enormous and the weight will certainly be in scale to it's size. WAY COOL!

Ohhh Weeee.........you'll probably need to take out a second mortgage to finance this project Mike.
One thing for sure........it's going to need 2 zip codes just to display it.

Isnt that the truth, but man if I can pull this off, it will be a killer ride...Figure close to 2k when done ( Maybe more....Ive been saving my pennies)....The engines have been the biggest expense at this point but as with ALL hobbies they can get pricey..Tires and wheels will be the next biggest expense along with any TDR goodies Ill probably purchase....At least the labor is free

If I can spend a grand on a 1/16 Nomad you may not want to know what you spend on this!

[chassisdude]

Thanks Gunny....Im pretty confident Ill exceed my budget..Oh well ...IT WILL STILL BE COOL!!!!!!!!

[spinellid82]

Model kit, $200. Brass & styrene stock $150. Paint and other supplies $100. Sanity, PRICELESS!

Im trying to decide what rear end to use ... TDR Top loader or 11"....Kind of leaning toward the 11".....Any input ? I Want modern components with vintage power....

[spinellid82]

I have the 11" in all three scales, it is an awesome kit but I really want to see one of the top loaders all done up. So if you are asking me, I vote for the top loader.

[chassisdude]

Vote is noted...The top loader is pretty cool...

[Don Garrett]

Flip a coin....that is if you think you have a spare coin left.

[chassisdude]

Thats too funny.. But probably true..Any body built the top loader rear end that might have a pic of a built unit?

[spinellid82]

Don't forget to use an old penny. Pre '82 they are solid copper and they spin better in the air due to the weight. Just thinking that pennies may be all that's left so try to find an old one.

mike, i built a top loader in my top alcohol dragster build. i also built the mark williams 11" in my 10.5 outlaw camaro. i only use the center carrier in both builds. i machined the rest of the stuff.


i hope to have copied a link to the dragster here.

the outlaw 10.5 camaro build has the mark williams 11" rear in it.

the '69 camaro pro mod build has the 9" ultra case with a brass fabbed floater rear.

just more options.
