W-409 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 That last picture is my favorite! Looking very good Tyrone, as usual. Can't wait to see more progress on this, it looks very mean and with your skills, finishing is going to be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy D Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hi Tyrone, Just wonderful stuff going on here!! Like how you did the upper attachment points of the wheelie bar on the differential, will try that on my car P.S. Where did you get that hood scoop? Thanks, Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrozilla Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 When I saw the "coming straight at me" pic, I didn't know whether to get out of the way or start waving my arms to back the car up after a burnout. Great front end attitude there Tyrone. Suspension is looking good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320wayne Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 The overall look is coming out great, as usual. You have such a true understanding of what these cars are supposed to look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great front end attitude there Tyrone. Suspension is looking good too. Thanks Joe I like that front pic also, I'm going to put the park lights back on the spoiler also, I dont know whether I'll keep this grille in or use the rally sport grill, we'll see. Randy I the hood scoop is made by flashpoint resins, I ordered it from Slixx decals, I wanted to use it on one of my pro mods builds but it would not fit with the ross gibson engine w/the split carbs, it's kind of narrow on the bottom, I had to take the dremel tool to it, but it should work fine on this one with the demon carbs from protech, Wayne thanks alot these types of cars and pro mods are my favorite type of cars and I really enjoy building these type of cars...

eviltwincustoms Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Thanks Chris and Leonard, I use evergreen rod #221.... Tyrone, I see you are using Evergreen Rod vs. Plastruct... what are you using to weld it(I use Ambroid ProWeld)? Because I find it harder to work with (doesn't like to weld together as well) than the Plastruct and don't like Evergreen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrone Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Brad I usually super glue or plain ole testors glue for plastic models in the orange and white tube I personally have had no issues with either, Well I got the front and rear suspension finished and installed, I also put in the rack and pinion and steering shaft,, here's a few pics...

Nice job on the updates Tyrone. Very impressive that you use the old Testors tube glue, I find that stuff takes way to long to adhere to anything, especially for custom made styrene. I remember using that stuff way back when, use to much and it melts the plastic to the point of no return to where it will never set up. But it looks like you have conquered the right amount, because your builds always look perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrone Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Thank you Andy, Charlie and Bart, well I got a little more done I've got all my fuel lines done and some of the oil lines done, the demon cards and hose are from Charlie at Pro Tech I decided to go with black lines on this one so I colored the hose with a black sharpie, here's a few pics, thanks for looking and comments welcome...

Pro Tech Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Tyrone, plumbing looking great and nice change-up on the line color. I have never tried the Sharpie approch but have used Polly Scale (railroad water based paint) Black and it works great for this too. Look forward to more buddy!

Mister Twister Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Thats a nice trick with the Sharpie on the fuel lines Tyrone. The details are looking great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrozilla Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Now THAT looks like a motor that WORKS for a living. Not some prettyfied show queen engine. Stopped me in my tracks. Actually, just seems like that when it blew by me at 200 + mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
