offroadcreations Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 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! Quote
Jurss Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 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? Quote
kbalage Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 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. Quote

offroadcreations Posted June 14, 2017 Author Posted June 14, 2017 @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. Quote
DugaldIC Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 Nicely done, I really like what you added to the engine! Very clever little build Quote

Enjoy! Edited June 18, 2017 by Offroadcreat1ons Quote
