  4. definitely need to check that, i have this kit and i want to do a good job on it
  5. Send it already, hope it helps you heres is a little update on this project, did resin cast of my favorite engine, blown 426 hemi, (not for sale) came out ok in my opinion but after putting the engine in place noticed that the blower hits the windshield area and decided to replace for another one a little bit shorter and make the trick, also did some cleanup on the PE parts for the front suspensions...
  6. Thanks Charles, me too, i have my mojo up and been working so much on this project in the last couple day, have to do some cleaning, working on the engine to make fittings test on that too, can't wait to show you guys how this is turning, but in the down side the suspensions needs to wait couple more day
  7. Paint looks amazing
  8. Awesome project, looking forward to see more
  9. Thanks Scott, working hard on this one for sure, i want to complete this project soon...
  10. Thanks Lorne, is really hard like you said, tucked me like 3 try to get it close enough, i do a lot of measurements before glue the parts and make sure one part is almost like the other, just to do the front suspensions mounts tuck me an entire morning to make them and the next day did the rest, i can send you a couple imagines so you can see the process better...
  11. Thanks man Thank you, I got my mojo up on this one LOL Thanks Scott, glad you like it
  12. Hello guys, I’ve been working on this bad boy in the last couple day, and is turning amazing n my opinion, of course have a lot of mistakes but is my real first promod full resin build project, so far I did work on how to get the hood in place and added some pins in the front of the chassis to hold it, did the same for the body, added some little plates in the rear section and some for the firewall, this will look a lot better after I put some putty to make it look smoother, finally have my front suspensions mounting strouds in place from futurattractions and now is almost ready to markup, am really having a lot of fun with this project...
  13. That’s sweet, I know i have a lot of cool projects in mind and AWB is one of them, for some reason they are super ugly but they look insane, looking forward to see how yours turns out
  14. Thanks Dale, yeah i know most of them have fuel pump instead of the water pump, but on this case, i let it pass just because the kit that i'm using came like that, but yeah you're right and thank you for the observation...
  15. Awesome work on the steering shaft, looks amazing on the truck
  16. super work man, love how this project turns out, i like the seatbelt hardware that you use on it
  17. Thank you CT, i got that idea from a person in YouTube, i forgot his name, but yeah, you can use it any time, that why i like to share my stuff, people can add ideas to me or like in this case, i can add something to the forum, looking forward to see you working on it on your next build thanks Ian, glad you like the rod end idea, looking forward to see you doing something like that on the dragster man...
