FABULOUS!! My wife says to tell you she loves the color , and I agree with her its beautiful!

It's Johnson & Johnson medical tape you can get it at any drug store, I used it to make the blower blanket and the racing harness. And I used a red sharpie to color it. the Sharpie acts as a dye and doesn't hide the cloth details. Here a picture of it. And here's a preview of what's to come......That's right working butterfly's Stay tuned for more to come

Hey Fellas got another small up date I was able to get the hat plumbed ....Hope you enjoy Cya Soon .....

Great Job Chris, But where did you get these??( if you don't mind me asking)

Its a nice kit from what i can tell But I totally agree with Harry this is an expensive build, come on a 1000 bucks for a curb side, starting at 1600 Big 1's just to be able to show the motor. I guess I'll never own this one cause my pockets aren't that deep.

You never cease to amaze me Dave

Thx fellas and its truly my pleasure John. just have a couple small updates brake calipers are done and I got the racing harness started I hope you enjoy.... Sorry I don't have more its been a lazy day.

Drago its really good to see good friendships formed and to know that you and Cesar have a lasting bond and model building in common, Model building does that to people. You have excellent scratch building skills and this project is one that I have followed since you posted it. looking forward to your next update. Oh and Cesar is my bro also so consider yourself my bro too. Romell

SAWEEET!!

Outstanding John ! please tell me that's not an 8track player under the dash love it, I just love it!

now that's a tutorial!

Huh! I'm gonna leave this one alone altogether

Great Job on making that trans kit work for you I would defiantly say your a real model builder.

See this is why I cant get any work done on my own car , im too busy drooling all over this build . Chris your skillz blow my socks off as a matter of fact im leaving cause my feet are starting to get cold.LOL! Keep up the outstanding work Bro!

Tyrone you are sick with it Bro!

Sorry David we moved it ,its now "on the work bench" i just use this to let everyone who's interested know when there's a update oh by the way there's an update

Hey Fellas I was able to finish up the headers with Alclad and a shot of Tamiya clear blue for the heat staining thought I'd give ya a peek at the finished product See ya soon Romell

The only problem I see with that is, how do you get the inserted rod out of the tube once you have it bent?

read my above post geeeze!

Didn't mean you in particular I left the "s" off the end of all, sorry if you were offended.

There are two things you never see me do, the first is wear a pink polo shirt ......the second is build a General Lee nothing personal just a promise I made myself. that said I did enjoy watching you build this one. excellent job keep it up!

Part II ok now to put em together..... make sure the position is correct once I have em in the position I want I solder the support brace to the bottom the almost finished product a close up for ya Had to do a mock up shot for ya See ya soon Romell

Richard : I salute you back my friend (thx) Tony: No it was more like I looked at it and went "Oh MY GOD!!! THAT'S UGLY! thats when i knew I had to change it. LOL! thx again fellas I worked on the headers today, but I had a brain fart and i had no idea how I was gonna get this done because the tube kept getting wrinkles in them, So I slept on it and it hit me , use brass rod instead of tube so heres the pics to show you how the problem was solved. here you can see the tubing just didn't want to do it my way here you see the solid brass rod this is .014 rod by the way once i was able to get the bend i wanted the rest was a down hill run , here you see the bent rod and the cut tube tips im gonna solder on the ends, and the lines are for cut off. The tips have been soldered on and im ready to move forward the pipes are all cleaned up are ready for assembly which i will do in the next section cause I'm limited to 5 photos be right back

Bill: Thanks man im always inspired by your skill as well... Chris: Step it up then Bro, seriously you don't have to your builds are great! Mark: I totally agree with you man Mike: Ya Think ? Joe : Just be sure not to lop my ear off when I'm Knighted Hey guys thanks for all the sincere compliments its guys like you that keep me inspired to move further. Romell

I'm getting back on that project as soon as this one is done I needed some inspiration to get back to the bench, I also bought a LoneStar that im gonna use in that build to so stay tuned.
