Thank you for the kind words Marcos and Dwayne. On a long project like this it really helps to know someone takes the time to look and comment, and coming from two modelers such as yourselves it helps even more Thank you
Ian McLaren Posted February 23, 2021 Author Posted February 23, 2021 Injector started and stack length set, port nozzle line and fittings installed, Injector dog house started and final height being set. from here on it's assemble detail and paint sub assemblies. The end is in sight
AmericanMuscleFan Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 Great job Ian, the injectors are perfectly positioned and straight! This seem easier to do than it looks but it's always difficult to achieve this and you nailed it. Good proof that your base is perfectly straight and that the time you have invested in this build will pay off in the end! ?
Tortuga Kustomz Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 They look fantastic, awesome job Ian
Codi Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 The entire car is coming together quite nicely Ian. Good job on the chassis / tin work too! cheers, tim
Mike Williams Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 @Ian, yep, I don't visit here very often, I like our other place a lot better. This project is a joy to view, you're leaving no area untouched and the many improvements are truly an incentive. Looking very good! Mike..

Francis Thank you so much, the amount of work it takes to essentially build a kit to assemble at my level,pales in comparison to yours and Tim projects. To have your encouragement means a lot.

Thanks Mike Talk about no areas untouched, your front engine dragster project is off the end of the gauge, amazing.
Claude Thibodeau Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 Hi Sir! Your car is living proof that talent, combined with patience and planning, can amount to formidable results. Bravo! I've never tried building a race car at this scale (1/16), but you are giving me ideas, for certain... CT

Mike Williams Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Ian, "serious mockup"....lets me easily smile. The build sometimes becomes a drag, never ending....Man, something has to move here! I get it, enjoy that things look excellent after all of the work and the parts fit! I really like this project, certainly unique...a great thing! Do you have a color in mind for the chassis? Mike..
