SPA Modeler

That's what you get with a 1:1 3rd gear at 55mph. I thought the same exact thing till I dropped mine into 3rd (which is a 1:1 gear) at 55. There it was on my Auto Meter tach.....3000rpm.

The 4L60E overdrive gear ratio of .696 drops 'er down to 2000.

Nice work on getting gear bay in there. It's gonna look awesome painted up!

The suburban I factory ordered had the 4L80E trans and 4.11 gears - best tow vehicle I've ever owned. I currently have a YukonXL I picked up used and it has the same transmission but the 3.73 gears and it's good but not 4.11 good. The gear swap I did in my Charger was one of the funnest mods - went from 2.65 to 3.73... way more fun!
Oh yeah - model is coming along nicely

FINALLY a aircraft made by Joe!! Looks great so far buddy

Thanks for the comments fellas!!!

John: I didn't think there'd be a real big difference between the 3.90's and 4.10's but the engine seems to make better use of those gears with the latest cam swap I did on it. A Suburban with 4.11's though....man that had to drink gas.....ALOT!!!

Alright folks. This aint a whole lot but this here is around 3 cumulative hours of work this week. One wall of the landing gear bay is finished. Now for the other wall.....

A BIG thanks to jkim for reference shots.

That ain’t no car...just sayin. It does look great though! Wow.

Thanks Lyle. I'll be hookin' up with you later on today on your car body.

Where’s the carbuerator?

You forgot the nitrous too Carlos!

Excellent detail painting on that sidewall! Just curious... what paint are you using for the metal color?
