  1. 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 !
  2. 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.

  16. Prayers out to you & family John.
  17. Lamborghini Aventador , Camaro SS built in 2013. Corvette LS9 ZR1 just finished. Cars have some small flaws but I think I will show them at the NNL this weekend which will be my first time showing my built cars. They are not quit up to par to most of the builds I drooled over at last years NNL in Santa Clara so I'm a little apprehensive on showing these builds.
  18. Thank you for the encouragement Bryan ! Kinda nervous on bringing a couple of builds to NNL West since it will be the first time displaying my builds at a show.
  19. Camaro is looking Awesome ! Nice Work !
  20. Well the build has stalled a bit do to work & figuring out what to try and finish so i can have the Bee or the Vette ready for the NNL West which will be my first time showing my builds.
  21. I will driving up to Santa Clara Ca next Friday which will be about a six hour drive for me and this will be my second time attending the NNL West show and my first time entering two of my builds and wondering what would be the best way to transport the built cars without any damage to them. I have a few ideas but any input would be appreciated. Thank You
  22. Will try & make it but It just depends on the wife's work schedule. Attended last year which was my first time and it was awesome.
