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.

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!

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...

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!

Thats a nice trick with the Sharpie on the fuel lines Tyrone. The details are looking great!

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.

Tyrone... Detail is looking great as always. You do nice work my friend. You are doing a great job on this build. Love every update.
