Prostreet Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 Joe...those color combos will be nice. I have one of the tom mcewen 57 chevy funny car that has the side trim decals. I can scan ot so you can use it as a start ans scale it up since it is a 1/25 scale. if you think that will help let me know and I will shoot it over to you. That would be awesome Chris, no hurry whenever you have some time.
Prostreet Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 Well i have been off work the last 10 days, I dislocated my index finger and finally going back to work tommarrow. Didn't get much done was to busy baby sitting the puppy lol, i did get the fuel rails and regulators done, the wire sticking out the front is the wiring for the injectors. The injectors are just some drilled out rod, i actually put little bolts in the tops of the regulators and the adjustment bolts. I think i'm crossed eyed now lol, Think i may take a slight break from this one for a little bit and finish up my protouring impala. 1 crappy picture for you.
comp1839 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 seriously, joe. outstanding!!! the injectors and regulators are just super.
vintagedragfan Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 looks great Joe, I'm ready to see some headers and turbo's hangin on this bad boy!
1320wayne Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Updates look great Joe. That body shot looks impressive.
Red rocket 10 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Joe this is one beautiful build, you certainly inspire me to build .................. Leonard
tyrone Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 looks great Joe, I'm ready to see some headers and turbo's hangin on this bad boy! X2....
futurattraction Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 I can't get over the job your doing on this build, Joe. Your body mockup is very impressive and the injector/wiring job you're doing is remarkable!
Prostreet Posted January 16, 2013 Author Posted January 16, 2013 Thx. For all the kind words guys . I'm going to start on the headers this weekend getting the in primer and getting the weld decals on, I want them to look stainless , the pair I found have a yellow goldish tint and don't look heat stained, hopefully I can pull it off , I might do a tiny bit of wash on the welds.
Prostreet Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 Little update, I haven't been doing much to this lately. Just haven't been motivated, So this week i got a little done. I built a new RacePak dash, The one i did before just didn't do it for me. This one was built i 2 pieces so the screen would sit down in the unit like the real one does, i added a clear piece of plastic for the screen but it is hard to see in the pictures. The base i added carbon decal and Futraction Dzus fasteners and a line for the cable out of the back that goes up under the dash. Hope to get back on track this weekend.
tyrone Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Looks like the real thing.... Off da chain bro....
Mooneyzs Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Joe... Man that race pack looks sharp. Nice work on it. I hope you don't mind if I borrow the idea for my pro mod when I get to it. I sure hear you about the motivation thing, I have been feeling that way a little with my funny car. I want to finish it so bad but there are days the motivation just isn't there. Its great to see you making more progress and look forward to more.
Red rocket 10 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Joe stay at it man, sometime's we just need to step back awhile, you are making crazy progress, you keep me motivated This is a piece of art................................... Leonard
hOLMS Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Amazing work Joe....simply amazing. I hope one of my builds will be at this detail level one day. You are making it right man, and sometimes thats a strain...but we are perfectionists, just the way it is. It will come back to you.
comp1839 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 builds like this can really take it out of you, joe. all of my builds are long term and i've learned to work on other things to keep the motivation high. fantastic job!
Prostreet Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 Thx. Dave, Just need a little break. Finished up the front brakes, one of these days i will get some good pictures lol. I think it's time to tackle the headers and turbos, That should be fun.
Mooneyzs Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Joe... Outstanding work on the brakes my friend. They look great. Glad to see you back on it. I know what it feels like when needing a little break from the project.
futurattraction Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Things are shaping up great, Joe. Your RacePak and brakes both look great! I definitely know what you're talking about when it comes to long-term projects and the ol' motivation factor....
vintagedragfan Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 pure sweetness Joe, yea yea headers and turbo's!!!
Prostreet Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 Thx. Guys, I will have some header updates this weekend for sure, stay tuned.
Mooneyzs Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Thx. Guys, I will have some header updates this weekend for sure, stay tuned. Joe... I can't wait
