  1. Thank You Art ! Hope to see you get your next build going soon !
  2. Pat Most is done as I go while I'm building but I do have ideas of how I want the mods done and of course somethings do change while building since they don't always work out the way you want but over all I do know how I want this build to look. Thanks for asking !
  3. I'm surprised that no one has posted about the U. S reporter James Foley getting beheaded by the Islamic group Isil. I just hope our Government does do something about this gruesome act of violence towards Americans.
  4. I had the pleasure to see this build up close at my first NNL West in Santa Clara and I have to say this build is amazing ! Awesome building as always John keep them coming !
  5. Tim depending on what room there is between the engine & motor mounts will determine what I'll install for the exhaust headers. I'm hoping to be able to install a pair of headers from my parts box and if the headers will not fit I will use the exhaust manifolds that came with the Coyote engine which I know will fit and for the rest of the exhaust I will scratch build out of styrene or aluminum tubing.
  6. Finally able to get a little bench time in so what your seeing is the start of adding a front spoiler and adding a little styrene to the rear to get the gaps filled a little so it looks more correct. I still need to work on shaping the rear and I still need to add some styrene to the front spoiler and some filler also.

  8. Stunning Build !
  9. Sorry no pictures yet but I do have a small update. Had to change the transmission on the Coyote engine since it was to wide to fit in the tranny tunnel so I removed the transmission only & left the bell housing. Next I will install a earlier style manual transmission which is not as wide or as tall to the Coyote bell housing. I also have started on the front spoiler which is installed but will have to add some styrene stock and filler to get the shape that I want.

  11. Looks Awesome ! This one is on my list to build along with about 10 others.
  12. Been following this build and I must say spectacular detail work !
  13. Would like to attend but just now saw this post. Maybe next year !
  14. Thanks for sharing the pictures !
  15. Jeff the interior color is Tamiya Light Sand Lacquer from the can.
  16. Started to massage the rear tail section & the side panels together and it will need a little body filler & some sanding to get the panels to flow together correctly. Pictures coming soon !
  17. Nice build of the Harley it looks awesome !
  18. Fred I know the intake tube is a little small but if I had went any bigger I would have had major issues of the fitment under the hood but I like what I have come up with.I was able to get the rear section of the Shelby glued on this evening and it will need some sanding and filling to get the side panels to fit correctly to the rear section. I would love to be able to get more progress on the Shelby but since my work area is in the garage and its summer so it gets pretty hot so the progress is slower than I would like on this build.
  19. I finally was able to put in a little bench time on the Shelby's engine compartment which was attempting to scratch build a custom cool air intake which drove me a little nuts. I have most of it finished now but still needs the air filter fitted and mocked up on the end off the intake.
  20. John hope everything works out for the best for you and I know that sometimes life can be brutal so hang in there.
  21. Its nice to get back on the bench I was away for about 20 years and now I have to many cars that I want to build plus the builds on this forum are just what I need for inspiration when I get stuck on a build plus the guys on this board are the best. Keep On Building !!
  22. Nice clean builds ! One of these days I will attempt to build one.
