    Hi Barry I'm not sure Don even knows about the project, I've been building it fir Bryan Hodges, the current owner. Here's where I'm at today Dropped the intake this morning , these 3D printed parts are like handling glass, I was going to change both sides with HO gauge railroad coupler springs and RB Motion bolt pins and washers anyway. As well as cleaning up the remaining solder joints

    A superior model in all respects. I really enjoyed you progress photos. A great project well finished!

    Well done Ray, first time I've been in the finished models section. This is a very clean well finished model, I really like it.

    Headers just hung on the studs. Once tightened the exits will be pretty much vertical.

    Just under an hour for the second side. What a difference a jig makes. Unlike the one I made for the funny car headers which burned away the first time I used it, this one is completely intact. Made out of the same materials (hard balsa) but covered in aluminum furnace tape. Direct flame from my torch and not a mark.

    I haven't posted on this build for about two weeks, but I haven't been sitting around doing nothing. I have been fighting with these headers for almost a month and I have lost track of how many versions I've made. Got a jig that works and finally found tubing that would bend acceptably . and devised a way to bend a near scale radius. I'm sure I spent less time on the chassis itself. So this hurdle is passed.

    Zoom in on the outside of the rotor and caliper enough to remove the clamp and there is no way to tell this is not the 1 to 1 piece. Truly spectacular work.

    Hi Tim, not much to add other than glad to see you again making progress and the results are stunning as usual. I enjoy each up date you post.

    Now that the Funny car is complete I'm concentrating on the Royal Canadian. Front suspension roughed in and fuel tank progressing

    The parachute assembly is outstanding, the final part and the hairpin holding the Remove Before Flight flag are getting dangerously close to showing off LOL

    Thank you Francis, the feeling of authenticity was what I was after. I just saw your parachute update Amazing work my friend!

    Mike this just keeps getting better, the injector work is superb. Well done.

    Steve from the looks of your mustang I would suggest you didn't need much of my process, it looks great and the finish is top notch. Thanks for the kind words just the same!

    Thank you Claude, That's what I was looking for. The funny car version of an old AM radio, on/off , volume and station selector that's it.

    The last set of pictures in this section, now to focus on the Royal Canadian
  18. Ian McLaren
    Some details to finalize, but essentially completed, Clean up those areas, wait for some sun here and post the final build pictures.

    Thanks Charlie, Lots of your parts in this one, they really add to the realism.

    Going together, fitted the body latch and actuating handle set the spring tension it is completely functional. have to respray the inside of the body and final assembly some time this week end. It's been a long , long road.
  21. Ian McLaren
    Blue Steaks, shower head injector shape and finish refined, and a proper set of valve covers fair progress for the weekend

    Enjoying each new update, so much inspiration.

    The rotors and hats look great, I know what you mean regarding the eye surgery, I had my right lens replace about six weeks ago and the difference is remarkable.
  24. Ian McLaren
    Thank you I was wondering about the Meguiars as an intermediate step.

    I need some decals done with metallic silver finish, they have to be opaque as they cross a red and white background. I have camera ready art work but it was done in GIMP and I'm not sure anyone can use it to print directly.
