PappyD340 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Still looking great Jason, I know school work is not the most desirable thing for a teenager, but it's necessary, and in the end you won't regret it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, a good education leads to a good job that leads to the ability to build one of these in 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragfreak Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Still looking great Jason, I know school work is not the most desirable thing for a teenager, but it's necessary, and in the end you won't regret it!! yes school work is very important especially going down the path im taking. Agreed, a good education leads to a good job that leads to the ability to build one of these in 1:1. which is my plan, going into the navy as a Seabee construction mechanic and stay long enough to pay for me to go to Wyotech and from there find myself a high paying job.

Dragfreak Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 getting the engine wrapped up, vacuum pump finished and installed, push lock line in, and all the fittings I scratch built. the whole unit is completely scratch built excluding the hose. not too shabby if I don't say myself, I also scratch built an overflow bottle except for the breather. and with the core support finished I think the Camaro radiator looks 100X better than the kit junk. all comments and suggestions are welcomed!

TFchronos Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Awesome building I wish I could get my engines to look half as nice as this one. And as for your plans for the future, very respectable, I hope it all works out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I've put a lot of effort and ventured into stuff that I thought I could never do with the engine, as for my future I hope it works out too, I feel that's its the better and smarter path rather than going straight to Wyotech and taking a loan to pay for it and then be in debt afterwards.

Foxer Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I'm ashamed I somehow missed watching most of this build but I did make it finally ... You building is a pleasure to see and at your age I happy to see you jump into making anything you don;t have and figuring a way to do it. That is the spirit of this hobby since I was doing it when I was your age ,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
