Prostreet Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Thx. Guys appreciate it. So i played hookie from work today and figured while i was home i would mess with the car some. I had to thin the hood portion of the front clip to fit because my intake sat to high, I had just enough to make it work. It was getting scary thin, Hope the mag clears lol. I have never been a big fan of the Bull-Horn exhaust outlets and would never put them on my 1:1 drag car but i have never seen Bull-Horns on a model drag car yet, I know i seen some pics and Dave(comp1839) was messing with it for his outlaw car, But for some reason i just like them on here and i think i'm going to run with it instead of the flush mount exhaust. Biggest pain is going to be trying to drill out that rod for the outlet. I may shorten it a little so it is closer to the car. Give me some feedback.

pharr7226 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Flat out awesome work. The headers and wheelie bars look great. If you go with the bullhorn, how will you remove the front clip? Whatever you decide, I know it's going to be a clinic on execution. I'm looking forward to your next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick, You can see in this picture the front clip where the exhaust exits is a slot for front end removal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Photos Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The bull horns look great on this build. I used them on my 1/25th scale slot car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Joe.... I am loving the bull horns. It looks killer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostreet Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Thx. Guys, were gonna roll with it. i cut the end and glued a section of tube on the end and drilled out the lower some, once painted black inside i think it will look good. I put a coat of primer on it to how it looks., the door even opens lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedsModeling Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I like the detail of the supporting brace for the turbo/header assembly - well executed. How did you get such a centered and straight hole in the end of the bullhorn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrone, means a lot coming from a great builder such as yourself, I learned a lot watching your builds and it pushes me to make mine as nice and detailed as yours.

Ted, I knew I wasn't going to be able to get the hole nice like I wanted it, so I cut the rod down short hollowed it out some then glued a short section of tube on top, you can see the seam where I joined them. I will put a weld decal over the seam. Hope to finish up both sides this week, need to make the O2 sensors that go on them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagedragfan Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 wow Joe, that is freakin awesome!!!!!!!!!! outstanding work!!!! all of the hard work is paying off, everything is just perfect, I can even live with the bull horns with the way everything else looks, again plain wicked!

shucky Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hi Joe, I've been following along for quite some time now. Your doing an amazing job here. Love how everything is turning out. Your attention to detail is beyond impressive. My ONLY criticism, and its not really criticism (lol) is that the turbo's are mounted low at the rear and a bit hard to see. Its just preference, would love to have seen the snails mounted higher so they are more visible! Regardless, your doing a stellar job and appreciate your sharing this wonderful build with us.

Mike, I agree about the turbos , I wanted to put them out front but didn't think I could fit them originally . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurattraction Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Right-on execution, Joe. That was a really smart/wise way of adding tubing to the end of your bullhorn so you didn't have to try to drill it out. This is just such a fantastic build. I always look forward to your updates.
