codie27 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 This is just insane work!! I've been watching this thread since the beginning and I'm amazed more with every update. The only thing I can see wrong with it is that all that beautiful brass work will be covered by paint at some point. NEXT UPDATE PLEASE!!

vintagedragfan Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 HELL TO THA NAW....LOL... FLAWLESS Bill... now thats funny #### right there I can't say what I really want to say, so I'll just say this...OMFG. Does the weight of the engine hold some of the suspension down? I imagine that thing has got to be heavy. Have you weighed it yet Bill? hi Brad, I haven't ever weighed it, I am kinda curious to see, but it does not push the suspension down at all, I'm glad! figuring out the ride height was a big enough pain with out figuring that in too!! LOL thanks brother Bill pure Genius.........U have no Idea how talented U are ..........I thought U could not out do your Keeling/Clayton.......but,these up-dates are showing otherwise.......keep on trucking Brother. John brother, you are too kind, I can't thank you enough for the support of you and every one keeping tabs on it, I will keep truckin! Just went back and had to look at these last pics again.... SUPERFANTASTIC WORK!!!!!!.... that engine looks like a beast in there... thanks a million Tyrone, really appreciate!!! I agree with the above comments. Watching this being created is amazing. The accuracy, realism, skill, and sterile build style make for a master class. Thank you. BTW: How much metal did you initially plan on using, and have you surpassed that point? I'm waiting to see the wooden fender bucks and sheet metal.... hey John, so far I have pretty much done all of this as planned so far, I am lucky it is turning out being my first time scratching a frame and using brass, turning out way better than I expected!! not sure how far I will try and take it, thanks man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
