I built the distributors last night and installed the fire bottles and some of the electronics. Hopefully there will be a small update tonight!

am73grand Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 I got some time in on this today. Tires are detailed and the 16 plug wires are installed. Once I put the caps on the magnetos you won't be able to tell the firing order is wrong. Those two wires going into the firewall will hook up to the ignition boxes.

I still need to add the steering shaft. I also started on the headers and some of the wiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthehobbyguy Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 How did you letter the tires? bobthehobbyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am73grand Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 How did you letter the tires? bobthehobbyguy They are decals off the "Motown Missile" Slixx decal sheet. I sanded the lettering off the tires, added the decals and then dull coted the tires to blend the decals into the vinyl. The tire decals are in the center of this sheet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Ron... This is an outstanding build and it is looking great. I love the color of the roll cage. What color is it? This is a very clean build. I am looking forward to your next update on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very clean build. I am looking forward to your next update on this one. Thanks Chris! The roll cage is painted Tamiya "Light Gunmetal". I think my next update will include the seat belts and the front brakes. Hopefully I will get some time in tonight or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for the inspiration I've gotten from your builds I'd never be able to pull a build like this off!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
am73grand Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Little bit of work done today. The wheel and tire combos are finished, front spindles are cut to length, holes are cut in the fenders for exhaust. and i have an idea of how the front will sit. As always thanks for looking!!

am73grand Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Big update this weekend. Got the gauge screen installed and wired. Headers are made, transmission is built and installed. The interior is complete except for the ignition boxes, fire lines and computers. Batteries are in. I think i'm cross eyed after all this wiring! Here are a few more pics: Thanks for looking!

Old Buckaroo Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I am having a hard time believing this is 1/25 scale. You must of robbed every electronic gadget in the house to source all that wiring. Looks really Fantastic. I really like the Hemi decal on the valve cover ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
