Romell R Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) Well Fellas I think its time for another update I was gonna hook up the fuel lines then I remembered I dont have anywhere to run them from so I have to make a 20 gal fuel cell like the one for my 1:1 so i pulled out the ol tape measure and got busy. here are a few pics of the build enjoy.... I started with a sheet of styrene and some measurements of my 1:1 cell here I have the box at the right size before I sand and refine Edited July 3, 2010 by Aftashox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romell R Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) here I have added the fuel sump . this is where the fuel lines will attach... Starting to take shape... a lil primer to get it ready for base coat... Black base coat in preperation for Alclad aluminum.....

vizio93 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Wow Romell that tank looks wicked !!! Nice job :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 The model is SWEET!!! but that 1:1 looks like a piece of junk! I would get rid of the body and keep the motor. Some folks just aren't used to seeing that much steel in one place at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Gibbons Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Every aspect of this build is a new lesson; with each new post, I feel like I'm opening a Christmas present! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTEMIS1759 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Sweet Rommell you guys are inspiring me to get back into some serious building since I can't build a 1:1 yet when I get home. See how detailed I can get. Though my squad leader wants to sell me a 72 Buick GS with a 350 in fairly good condition for 1000 dollars. Thinking about it.

highway Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 A buick 350 or a chevy 350? If its a chevy 350 I would walk away. Those Buick 350s are monsters! I had 73 Buick 350 in a 79 Firebird and that thing would light em up on demand. It had so much torque it cracked both rear leaf springs in two!

BedlamParkCustoms Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 WOW Romel. you don't (CURSE WORD) around, do you?!?! It's a slow day here at work so I had time to read the entire thread. NIIIIICE!!! Wish I had the time and talent to do work like that. Your work is definitly motivating! How do you find time to work, build, photograph, post, reply and still have a life? Either way, keep it up Bro! PLEASE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparWoman Jamie Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Dang Remoll, or ah Romell LOL. I just got back online this morning after being off line for afew days thanks to a broadband moden blowing up on me the other night. I must say I like your attention to detail man, that scale gas tank looks like the real thing in the trunk area of the model. If you would have taken a close up and I mean close up I would have thought that it was real man. Your detail on that is right on. first thing i did was when I got back online this morning was come stright to the forum to check your thread out man to see if you had posted any updates which you had. Keep up the good work bud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
