Well...Here it is. I've been loosing sleep every since I saw Jevries Real Deal '64. I used to bomb his PMs begging for a fix on the set up but he was hush mouthed completely. I respected that, and he finally gave a how-to. I knew most of the process, except the cylinders. But 1 quick look at his "Plumbing" setup, and I took off! I am going to keep it Restomod style, stock interior, Kandy Paint, Souped up engine, and open trunk w/fake pumps and subs. I went my own route with materials, electronics etc. But Credit for the idea and lines go to the man Jevries for Sure!
I started out with a Stock 65 Impala Kit, and various aluminum tubing and flat plastic sheet. The set has 4 servos, all fully hidden, hand built lower a-arms, mounting points etc. I was able to use the factory rear suspension and links, but all of the hydro components are hand fabb'd. I am also mounting the battery's in the car as well. The lines are actual alu tubing and the strokes are alu with pen springs. It uses a 5 channel R/C spec Reciever and and custom modded, Switch Box mounted Transmitter. The biggest job is wiring the switches, which going from pots to dpdt momentary is the challenge. I'll give more details as they arrive, but heres a sneak peak... The color is probably going to be Kandy Orange with Red Leather Guts.
More pics to come soon!! Enjoy!!
