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.
