thanks guys,  I appreciate your nice comments, Figured if I have the coolant and fuel lines then I should also have the oil lines...................... but...................... theres no pump  ...... so...............

the holes you see were also filled in with 1/2 mm hex rod which were then all filed down to  about 1/2mm height ,then the other lines added, filters drilled then installed


positive battery cable installed and wired to the starter motor

complete (though you cant see it) with little tab and bolt head detail.
rear end done

Brett, Nice detail, coming along real nicely. To bad they don't make this car in 1/16th.

Looking great on your details Brett. Everything looks to be coming together quite well!

Brett, are you using beads (meant for beading projects) for your anodized fittings?  I have just started using them and am pleased withthe results.  About $3.00 US for a lifetime supply!

thanks guys,

Chris, yea they're glass hex shaped, still a little bigger than I would like, I think mine were around 3/4 bucks for a 150 odd though they wont last that long the way they fly out of the tweezers into the next vortex/black hole

I have only found round ones.  They look fine, but now I will look for hex ones.  The round ones fly all over the place too!!!
