greumel Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Dear all, First of all I must see there are a lot of great builders on the world, that yo can see on this forum. How ever I am search for more then one year for some instructions to build a own muscle car like a Mustang, Cobra, Bugatti or something like it. A lot of nice and beautiful picture i found but was not possible to build own. (sorry, I not so smart enough it seems!) What I hope is that some one can help me out with some kind of instructions. Thanks for reading this and hopefully for some tips.. Greetz Raoul Quote
Jurgen Krooshoop Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Maybe you'll like my Little RC Devil Sportscar. Complete step-by-step building instructions can be downloaded as PDF-files here. It has Power functions, but if you don´t have it, it can easily be built without it.

Blakbird Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Thanks for reading this and hopefully for some tips.. Crowkillers builds a lot of muscle cars which you can see here. There are no instructions for most of them, but there are now free instructions for the Lamborghini Gallardo. Not exactly a muscle car, but a recommended build. Quote

Meatman Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Are you looking for something like this? you can get lost for hours here Crowkillers is also supposedly working on a 1969 Camaro, but I haven't seen any updates for awhile. When it comes to cars, he is definitely one of the top guys in the world. There are some detailed pictures HERE that may give you a start in the right direction.

TechnicJuan Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Funny this topic came up. I just downloaded brick journal 11 and there is an interview with Paul in it. I was kind of surprised that it hadn't been mentioned before. Quote
DLuders Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 You may enjoy building a small (but fast) Technic car, like the "Snow White Drifter" car: http://technicbricks.blogspot.com/2009/09/week-techvideo-2009-36-snow-white.html . You could build the chassis per the instructions on BrickInside, then clothe it with your own Muscle Car design. Quote
DLuders Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 Jurgen Krooshoop also made Building Instructions for his Yellow Racecar ( http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=435349 ) and his Red Racecar ( http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=437168 ). Download the excellent instructions at his website http://www.peregrinestudio.ch/JTC . Quote

Greetz Raoul There are some impressive Technic models in this thread, but is that what you are looking for or is it a more Model team style type of vehicle? Shelby Mustang GT 350 (2) by Mad physicist, on Flickr I don't have instructions, but I do have an MLCad file of this. Cheers, Ralph Quote

Cheers, Ralph Thanks a nice car, I am looking for a technic lego model, but it seems to be hard to find any instructions for it. There are a lot of pictures but not all clear enough for someone like me (not enough experience) to build. cheers, Raoul Quote
DLuders Posted August 13, 2010 Posted August 13, 2010 I am looking for a technic lego model, but it seems to be hard to find any instructions for it. There are a lot of pictures but not all clear enough for someone like me (not enough experience) to build. What I would recommend is to look at the detailed, closeup pictures of models created by Firas Abu-Jaber on MOCPages: http://www.mocpages.com/home.php/12960 . Scroll to the bottom of that webpage, and see his various MOCs ("My Own Creations"). He has several different Muscle Cars to see, like this Shelby Cobra GT500 Super Snake: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/81974 . No, there are no instructions, but there is INSPIRATION on how to make the exterior of the car "look right". As stated by others, the TECHNIC style of building is from the inside-out. MODEL TEAM builds from the outside-in. There are enough examples of excellent TECHNIC cars above that could get you the MECHANICALS of the Muscle Car you want -- that's about 90% of the work already done for you. Then, you can select various ways of getting the TECHNIC-style EXTERIOR of your Muscle Car built with various Technic panels, soft hoses, etc. as shown on the cars above. Experiment a bit -- you can do it! Quote
Rijkvv Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 Nico71's Plymouth Hemi Cuda with instructions. Quote
DLuders Posted August 14, 2010 Posted August 14, 2010 That's a nice find, Richie! Nico71 is sure a talented builder! I just went to a big car show in my hometown, and there was one of these REAL 'Cudas on display. Quote
greumel Posted August 14, 2010 Author Posted August 14, 2010 Nico71's Plymouth Hemi Cuda with instructions. Great car, this what i am looking for. Now I can try to build my own one. Thanks a lot..... Cheers Raoul Quote
