adabiri2 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Plumbing with Pro Tech fuel lines, oil sump pump, distributor. Nitrous lines are some metal bracelet wire I got at craft store, lol. Detail Black wash valve covers for authenticity. Computers in interior. Fuel pump made with the vibrator from a cell phone(really cant see it, behind fuel cell.) Engine stand, I cant remember, I think ebay. Jack stands came from same place. Have a tool box also to complete the diorama. Boss 429 Mountain motor.

tubbs Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 nice build. great use of details. have a few of these kits, keep pirating stuff from them so I don't think I will build mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragracer Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Ali, the car came out looking nice, the paint & decals came out great.Don't take this wrong but I'm going to mention a few mistakes I've seen, I'm wondering if this might be your first Pro-Stock build. Pro- Stock is not allowed to run a nitrous system, the carbs should have a fuel line running to each side of the carbs, so there should be 4 fuel lines, 2 to each carb, & the 429 Boss (Shotgun) Motor is a Hemi head, the spark plug wires should be running into the valve covers (in the lower notches 3 in the grooves & 1 at the back of the cover) not into the heads themselves. I'm hoping this info might help on any other P/S builds you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adabiri2 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Yes thanks for pointers. This motor was actually gonna go in a 79' Cobra mustang i built a while back but opted for the engine stand idea beside the drag car, like its getting freshened up. Really just to show off the chassis n stuff too. I was really thinkin of the motors I build in the garage when i put it together, for a street car. I get all my techniques down, I'll build a actual scale one like u guys do, lol... Plus all my family n friends would ask why the spark plug wires aren't going to the spark plugs, lmao!!!

paulstang68 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 The Motorcraft decals are placed wrong! They should be centered on the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
