Need to get back on this build. Just been busy with work & life in general.

My local Hobby Shop has this kit & I was thinking of picking it up since it has an engine option with a fuel injected 454.

John your building skills are so precise and accurate its just amazing !

Got the fuel rails finished today but they still need to be cleaned up a bit yet.Next I will mount rails into intake manifold & then start scratch building the fuel pressure regulator & run the fuel lines to the fuel regulator & fuel pump.

Started on the fuel rails this evening & have one fuel rail drilled & all the intake runners are drilled on the intake manifold. Will drill the other fuel rail tomorrow night & test fit the fuel rails then scratch build a fuel regulator.

I also have this kit and I usually build Muscle Cars but wanted to build something different for my next build and to put my own twist on the 32. So I will also be watching this build to see how they turn out which looks like they both will be nice clean builds.

Are the 315/50R15 tires coming soon ? I would be interested in 2 sets.

Got most of the scratch built intake manifold finished. Now I will drill holes for the the fuel rails on all of the intake runners then attach the upper intake to the lower part of the intake & then paint the assembly then add the fuel rails.

Awesome John !

Was not happy with the intake manifold so I have started to scratch build one.

John your building skills just blow me away as does your accuracy of the built parts ! and It inspires me to add a little on each of my builds !

Well I have finally got back to the Bee after going to the NNL West Show which was pretty awesome. I brought 3 builds Lamborghini Aventador. 2010 Camaro SS, ZR1 LS9 Corvette & the Lambo was picked to be photographed ! Which was a big surprise to me. So I have started on the assembly of the 426 DOHC Hemi which will be fuel injected & I have made the fuel rails and have installed them & also drilled out a hole for the distributor which will be wired & I will also be adding the fuel lines which I will scratch build also.

Smith Brothers Hobby in Northridge and they do stock well with new kits & building supplies etc.

John your off to a great start brother and I'm sure this will be one awesome build when completed.

Thank you John & congratulation to you on your two staff picks !

Thank you Vincent ! The show was awesome and all the builds that where displayed where awesome !

Thank you for the kind words Randy it's greatly appreciated ! The builds are my first three since 1993 . Next year I'm hoping to have a few more built since I have accumulated quit a few kits since I have started building again.

Was able to see this build today at the NNL West show & even though the build is not finished yet it looks awesome !

One of my builds was picked to be photographed! Which was a big surprise to me since it was my first time showing my builds.

Well the NNL West show was off the hook! And was surprised that one of my builds was picked to be photographed ! Which was the Lamborghini Aventador ! Made some new friends at the show also and congratulations to John Teresi for his two staff picks !

Show was Awesome !

Rolled into Santa Clara about an hour ago & took the dog for a walk & we are staying at the Hilton which is right across the street from the convention center.

Well the builds are packed & secure for the 6 hour drive to santa Clara tomorrow. Be leaving around 10 am I'm hoping as long as the wife gets out of work early. Should roll into Santa Clara around 4 !

Well the Builds are packed and secure for the 6 hour drive to the NNL West tomorrow and we should be rolling in around 3 or 4 tomorrow.
