Wow!!! Talk about wild Dan!!!! Talk about wild!

Well I've got the brake pedal and throttle return springs figured out now. Got these from inside a wristwatch band retaining pin:

Good ol' Revell kit. I've got this one and I'm doing something fairly similar. I like the idea on the exhaust. What did you use for the exhaust tips/ extensions? Nice build BTW Ken!

When it rains it pours...and I hear you loud and clear. I had the perfect (or at least what I thought was the perfect) clear finish on my Challenger until I saw a freekin' run on the R/H rear quarter and a speck of I don't know what right in the middle of the drivers door. Needless to say there was some more work to do but like I always say, "That's modeling." Hang in there Greg. You'll get it all sorted out.

That gloss finish looks awesome! Great detail under the hood!!!!

Looks good Cory!

Looks great Ken. Great color scheme!

That's some serious work back there at the differential Mike! Looks great!

Lookin' good Cory!

Toothpicks for painting fine details is a good thing. Use a fine brush for painting the round disk on the hood and toothpicks for the pins.

Personal message sent..................

Looks good from where I'm sittin' there Cory! A little trick I learned on chrome wheels just recently is to hit 'em with a coat of thinned out Acrylic Tamiya Smoke either brushed on or the aerosol can is available. I'll see if I can post a pic/ article about it.

Looks like you're headed in a good direction there Justin.

Here lemme help to fix that........lol

Thanks Justin! Jim: Thank you as well and I enjoyed the conversation as well buddy. Looking forward to talking to you again. Well folks it looks like this is starting to look doable. The basic set up here with the master cylinder/ brake booster set up: I primed the front brake rotors (washers) with black gloss yesterday and shot 'em with a coat of Alclad today. You'll notice that I flattened one side of the washers. This allows my calipers to sit perfectly on the rotors instead of looking like they are resting on the outside edge of them. I also cut some brass rod to .180" length to mount the rotors onto. The short length allowed for the "step down" to mount up the wheels later. Today I'll be drilling out the brake calipers for brake lines and painting the calipers red. I removed the chrome from both of the calipers yesterday in order to prep for all of the painting.

Tom: Thanks for the encouragement along the way bud. Cory: Thank you and looking forward to your build.

That Chevelle is gonna be a winner dude! Enter it and watch.......................

Thanks Dan! Hopefully this thing is ready for the show in October. JC: Thanks for the encouragement from you as well. I used the theory about 23 years ago on a build but never carried it further than just throwing a washer on the hub. No caliper and no brake lines. I thought I'd re-visit the idea and do it as right as I could this time. Tim: I'm movin' slow on this thing but hopefully progress will pick up a little when all of the engineering is over with. Will be watching for the results of the Spaz Stix. I've gotta order some for myself as well but have to wait a little bit. I unloaded a lot of cash at the Houston show. Ask Dan....................he'll tell you all about it. Greg: Thanks pal. I've got plans................ Carl: And I thank you sir. I don't know about that "easy" part. lol I still manage to pull off my share of stooopid stuff. Like this #45 right in the middle of the floor pan in the pic below. I ended up fixing it but what an oversight.

Watching.......

All I can muster up is.............."Wow!!".

Well..................let's see it there Justin. ....................

All of this great work from an "impatient" man?? LOL. Awesome work buddy Jim!

This is wicked!!!!!!!

'Preciate it Cory. What color are you goin' for for the exterior?

Here we go.......... . Go for it Cory!!
