Beach Bombed

 

Built in summer 2005, this one started off as an improbable idea.  After building the 18th Hotrod Hauler, I had a left over engine from the 18th Scale Drag Bus.  It is pretty decent and I thought it might look pretty good in one of my large scale Beach Bombs.  Maybe give it that Muscle Machine meets the Redlines look.  It could happen.

I built the body just as I would the normal way, but I scratch built a chassis that would accept it sitting on the ground, or close to it.  I added a bit more detail in the interior than we are used to seeing in a Beach Bomb. And inserted the engine right in the middle with a few cell.  Added a few braided wires and we were set.  I finished it off with the wheels from the Legends Twin Mill, some custom graphics and added the exhaust tips in the rear from the 18th VW Bus.
