Awesome John !

John you are are true Artist ! The clutch looks really real and your attention to detail just blows my mind.

James thank you for the tips on the paint colors & I was also looking at the the colors from HOK which you can purchase in 4oz bottles as for right now I'm working on the top & bottom body panel fitment to the frame and it has been a bit of a pain. I had to cut the front half of the frame down the middle since the width of the frame is a little to wide for the top & bottom body panels to sit correctly on the frame so this will be a slow build for me since it is my first dragster build also. And thanks again James on the paint colors I appreciate the help.

Awesome Build ! & it even looks better in person. Great Job Art !

Nice Ride ! Went on a ride myself this past weekend on my softail with my club to Santa Barbra.

Worked on a couple of the body panels that I had primered & the panels still need a little work yet. I'm also trying to figure out to assemble the injector hat which is halved into two parts & the blades are separate also. I'm a stickler for detail so I will be trying to cover up the glue lines where the injector hat glues together & also have the blades functional.

John your attention to detail is amazing ! Can't wait to see this build finished.

I noticed the wheels did not look that good after the alclad was applied so I applied another light coat & they look a lot better now.

Was able to get a little work done on the Dragster this weekend. The frame still needs work done to get the mold lines off. I got the engine painted & partially assembled, removed the chrome from the wheels & blower & have been airbrushed with aclad chrome.I also have been working on a few of the body panels also which they should be ready for some primer soon.

Looking Good John !

Incredibly Awesome John

Thank you John !

Bill thank you for posting the link to your thread it is very informative which now I think I will pick up a quart of the clear.

I have been smoothing out the frame which has turned out to be quit a task in itself because of the way it had to be molded so most of the casting lines are on top of the frame rails and on the bottom so it has been very time consuming to sand every rail of the frame. Was able to get the block , blower ,intake , headers,seat & oil pan in primer today but still have a little work to do on the front of the intake. Progress will be slow on this build even though there are not very many parts to this kit but will be adding some details as the fuel lines & other details.

Was thinking of buying quart of the clear ($24.95) but I have not used any automotive paints or the automotive clears on any of my builds. I have been airbrushing with testors lacquers & clears and it does get costly for the ounce bottles of clear lacquer thats why I threw out this question on the Dupli Color clear to maybe find out if anyone has used it and how well it looks.

Great Job !

Anyone ?

Looking good John !

Was at O'Reillys to pick up some oil & I always look at the paint & notice they have Dupli Color Lacquer Clear for paint guns in the quart can & directions say on the can that no reducer is need & that you spray it strait from your paint gun but have the option to thin it if needed. So has anybody used this to clear there builds.

Forgot to mention that I actually was given this kit from Tony Nancy back in 2002 so this build will be a tribute to Tony.

Thank you for the info on the wing Jesse ! and I learned a lot from building the Bee and that was to be more patient while building. Art thank you also ! & I hope to have this finished for the show in Oct.

Forgot to let you all know what I had scratch built on the Bee. Intake Manifold & Fuel Rails & Fuel Regulator & Fuel Lines Ignition Coil & Has all Brake Lines Ran & Has 4 Wheel Disc Brakes With Calipers & all 4 Backing Plates For Brake Rotors Brake Line Fittings Roll Bar & Hood Scoop Fuel Tank

If anyone has built this kit is there any issues with the assembly ? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Does anyone no what the base color is for the body panel ? Looks like a light orange to me but not sure since there are not very many good pictures out there of this dragster with much detail. Thank You

Started a new build which will be a Tony Nancy Revell Liner Dragster and this build will be a bit of a challenge for me since this will be my first attempt at building a Dragster. Started on the main part of the frame & Motor & will replace the rear two piece slicks with one piece slicks.
