[ARM] Automation RestoMod Chapter 40: TreadKillers Open - Flexing Muscle

ARM 40 - TreadKillers Open - Flexing Muscle

First ARM Previous ARM Previous TreadKillers Open WTF is ARM

WELCOME ONCE AGAIN!
To another episode of ~TreadKillers Open~

In this competition, tuning shops all over the globe come together to battle each other to show, who is the best builder and deserving of the TreadKillers Trophy!


The Score

We will provide every shop with a car and you can do whatever you think fits your provided base best.
Go full Racecar? Roll in the Slicks!
Put the thing on 31"? Nothing a metal saw can’t do
Cut it up to fit your personal Cyberpunk idea? Jack in homeboy


What we are looking for:

:star: :star: :star: :star:

Love to Detail:
We want to see your shop pour out their love and care for these build.
Show of those buggy-spring. Make 200kg of fiberglass bumpers. Put that V8 into the back.
We want to see you go 110% into your concept

:star: :star: :star:

Spirt of the base car:

While we always encourage people to cut apart the car as much as possible, we are not looking for a kitcar. Your build should be true to the original car, not just a firewall with fiberglass.

:star: :star:

Performance:

No rolling chassis! You build it, you drive it here.
Even if we won’t battle these cars 1 on 1 in a race, their performance should at least match the shell

:star:

Cost:
You can spend whatever kind of money you have on these… maybe just don’t go Calvinator.

Oh yeah. Round Open



Modern Car, Classic Build.

Inspired by the dawn of drag racing, UNDRLVD_CSTMS has taken this Deer and Hunt SuperCoupe, and thrown aboard modifications from a classic and iconic era of drag racing, Gassers. Taking the stock V8 out to 770hp+ on Ethanol fuel, big drag slicks, a wheelie bar, and a LENCO 5 Speed Transmission, the Estrous Doe is a handful in the best of hands. Stripped interior and then styled like the gassers of old, this machine still features many modern safety features like harnesses, fire extinguishers, suppression systems, and a parachute. This car has been taken and given a historic and classic flair, something that feels fitting for a modern classic such as this.

The donor car may have been built on what could become a legacy body due to having only one wheelbase, three body styles, and relatively few morphing zones (in addition to a few other problems, such as improperly centered axles), but there’s no doubt that it’s a great base to work with, no matter what the end result of your build will be.
