Romell R

Outstanding build !!

Brad Im really enjoying this , the next time the job calls to interupt you just tell em Romell said you could stay home....Keep up the good work buddy!

Tim I seriouly hope your not running around your town at night in this ....LOL! nice costume

I must say that I was suprized at how well the tranny fit now it mated up to the motor perfectly. enjoy! Cya on the next update......

I didnt take pics ofthe process to make the reverse handle so I'll just show you the finished product shifter attachments one more .....

Thanks Wayne if you like that shot I have a treat for you LOL! I recieved my bell housing in the mail from Jim aka MicroNitro @ Http://www.micronitro.net And might I add it was beautiful, I coulda installed it as is but you know me I gotta put the touch on everything LOL! here are a few pics of the tranny build or should I say rebuild. The bell housing when it arrived I needed to make an inspection door... I used a photo etched piece I found in my parts box Holes drilled in the bellhousing .....for bolt details once I was done with the detailing of the bell I realized I need to make a better reverse handle Stay tuned for more in just a few.....

Thanks Ira I really enjoy your creations too. Thank you John I couldnt really find any reference for the brake lines , and i know that the builders probably would have used spliters at the calipers but this looks better than what I had set up. Thank you both for your compliments

Outstanding!!!!

My quickest has to be my first which was almost 40 years ago, and the longest is defanately the ProMod im working on now!

Nice to Meet you all!!!

There are links to four of my build in my signature if you'd like to see them... Ok im back with part two of tonights update I had to figure out a way to get my front wheel on so here are the steps i took, I wanted a actual wheel bolt that i could screw on to hold the front wheels so I had to adapt the wheels to fit my spindles First I had to make hubs for the rims because the center hole was larger than my spindles, here I used a tap and dye set to make the threads. this is the hub that will go in the center of the rim so that the wheel will fit the spindle. here the hub fitted on the spindle.... sorry that I didnt get more pics of this but I also made the lock nut that hold the wheel on the spindle it actually screws on the end of the spindle the two holes you see will allow for me to put a pin through the nut to make sure its secure to the spindle. And here she is for the first time sitting on her own rubber..... Getting closer to paint time, if I can just get some good weather......

Joe the decals actually come from Slixx you can find them on the goodie sheets these are by the way 1/24th scale She cook as good as she looks LOL!... Well fellas I have another update for ya ...... I got the brake lines all hooked up to the read calipers and I attached the wheels , Shes standing on her own rubber for the first time . Here have a peek for your self. the body is on just to make sure everything fit ........ And ofcourse the beadlocks rings are added...... more to come......

Thats awesome Dave cant wait for you to get those to TDR great job buddy!

OUTSTANDING!!!

Shes in your hands now Bro make Papa proud

Its ok Andy no worries Bro

Sorry Andy I had to delete that photo, guys if your not gonna post your pics dont turn this into a free for all. for posting any and everything please...

Dang i always find out about the shows to late!...

Hey guys I thought that since we do alot of intermingling here it would be nice to put a face to the guys we talk with. So if your not to shy post a pic here of yourself , you can include family & friends in the pic if you like. so have fun with it and introduce yourself. as usual I wont ask you to do anything im not willing to do myself so I'll start it off. Hello im Romell (the ugly guy on the right) Im a recovering Styrene addict who has fallen off the wagon numorous times and this is my beautiful wife "D" ( the pretty girl on the left) who has helped me make the transition from styrene to brass LOL!

Now that's kool , my wife has helped me a few builds sanding and making suggestions & shooting some of my photos. Its nice when you have someone who enjoys what you do.

FIxed the problem , darn Photobucket made me pay for the Pro upgrade, they said i was using up too much bandwith LOL! I guess so with over 700 pics in this build alone!

I need to make a brake line setup for the double calipers in the rear so heres what I did I soldered together two pieces of frame wire like this then added RB Motion AN fittings may look confusing but you'll get it once its all plumbed more soldering more fittings See ya tomarrow with another update......

Yeah that could have been the problem Jim, and by the way great job on that build of yours. Now I have a few things to post tonight but first I think I better post the corrected tires.... I also have the wheel hubs, rim centers and disc brakes mounted on the rear axles I almost forgot to make my wishbone had to fab one up really quick need to clean it up , I'll take care of that tomarrow then Ill install it with nuts and bolts. me and the lovely wife (dont know how this pic got in here.... be right back with another update....

very nice build would love to see more
