    Claude I have been admiring and marvelling at your modeling for what seems like decades. To get these words of encouragement from you is a humbling experience, thank you!
  2. Ian McLaren
    Great project, got to love the way modelers help each other and the amount of information that can be obtained on almost any car of note.
  3. Ian McLaren
    Beautiful job, and your right it's a great looking car. Well done!
  4. Ian McLaren
    Great start Michael Looks like it's going to be another stellar model.
  5. Ian McLaren
    It's one thing to make something look real in this scale, but to build something as complex as the hinges and have them operate properly is at an entirely different level of skill and engineering. Absolutely astonishing
  6. Ian McLaren
    With this much planning I can only suspect this will be another stunning model all on it's own. Really looking forward to the process.

    Thanks Mike Talk about no areas untouched, your front engine dragster project is off the end of the gauge, amazing.

    Thank you Tim I appreciate your input and I visit your build often for inspiration
  9. Ian McLaren
    Francis Thank you so much, the amount of work it takes to essentially build a kit to assemble at my level,pales in comparison to yours and Tim projects. To have your encouragement means a lot.

    One of my favorite early Pro Stocks and like Tim said, from what I've seen so far this is one build I'm excited to see progress. Nicely done!

    Injector started and stack length set, port nozzle line and fittings installed, Injector dog house started and final height being set. from here on it's assemble detail and paint sub assemblies. The end is in sight
  12. Ian McLaren
    This is looking great, the detailing is exceptional! Outstanding.

    Thank you for the kind words Marcos and Dwayne. On a long project like this it really helps to know someone takes the time to look and comment, and coming from two modelers such as yourselves it helps even more Thank you

    Parts being clean up and final details added Just about ready for some color.Body mods finished final finishing and color soon Aluminum seat roughed out final finishing to do before primer and paintSeat cushion ready for installation Upper dash area installed and cut to fit body side braces to be built and installed

    WOW I don't know how I missed this one, great model and the details are spot on. Well done Joe!

    Thank you Mike, lots of great info and perspective on this, the car I'm doing is 392 powered and the motor is quite a ways out, don't have the measurements yet, it currently is running a reverser configured as an in and out box to make it easier for Pro Idle Events. We are back dating the model as a direct drive push start configuration
  17. Ian McLaren
    That looks great, seemingly simple but so hard to do well.

    Hi Mike I've just been commissioned to replicate a 215 inch Don Long car. I'm not where I need to be to try a brass chassis so I'm starting with Prudhomme's Wynns Winder 1/16 kit, I will be using some brass because some of his brace tubes are too small to use abs. (.048 on the real car) The one area that has me concerned are the headers. Is there a specific angle to shoot for when bending the tubes, with funny car headers there are variants introduced by the depth and width of the body.

    Thank you Michael
  20. Ian McLaren
    Thanks Mike Fancy running into you here. I'll be checking out you posts here
  21. Ian McLaren
    Thank you It has been a lot of work.
  22. Ian McLaren
    This is how the real car looked, Test fit of injector, stacks have not been fully secured or aligned but the body is too flat in this area, corrected body contour
  23. Ian McLaren
    Thankyou Brad, the weird shape of the panel body in the rear does make thus on especially challenging.
  24. Ian McLaren
    Superb workmanship throughout Mike
  25. Ian McLaren
    Great job! I've been building one of these for so long I have three different sets of detail parts from perfect parts on up. I'm impressed with your progress and quality.
