Recommended Posts

Brad... you are right that these two are killer together. AND I really need to finish the Vega F/C but I will say that I may be having a lot more free time to work on the F/C depending on what happens with work. But I uave to agree that it wiuld be awesome to get the Vega in a few pics with these two beautiful dragsters.

I've been watching this build. You have done an excellent job. I love the final back drop photos, hard to tell they aren't the real thing.

Which brings me to a question. Back on page 7, thread 11, you have a head on photo of the engine in the Snake. I know you are working with the Alclad paints but did you do a wash on the engine, or does the paint come out naturally like that?

Looking at the front of the Blower it just has such realistic depth to it...Fantastic

Thanks Steve
