Looking killer John! Another epic build buddy. SkillZZZZZZZZ Bob

Marc, the fact that you have TWO Gremlins frightens me a great deal. Bob

This is looking great Chuck. The paint looks crazy nice. Cannot wait to see it in fighting form. Bob

Got her all polished up so I thought I'd share a few pics. I am obsessing over the port injection so I took a break to do some other tasks. I got most of the safety harness in but not buttoned down to the attachment points yet. I finished the mag and swiped a coil from my top fuel donor kit. As soon as I'm happy with the injection I'll be sure to post it. I'm also in the middle of fabricating the barrel valve and throttle bracket. There is plenty to keep me busy while I regroup for the injection finale. Thanks for hanging in there with me. And thanks for the encouragement. Bob

Looks ready to smoke em all the way down the 1320. Sweet. Bob

Totally Ricoculous build. I was planning on doing one. Now, not so much... Kidding. Schweet build Johnno! Bob

Sick Fish indeed sir! I love it. I have yet to try a Pro Mod but if I did, I'd want it to be as cool as this. It's that cool.. Bob

Nice looking WIP. Great start on it as well. Nice to have the real car as reference as well. Should be a killer build. Bob

Beautifully detailed Brett. It looks spot on, and with regular items as well? Lotta work went into that. Very Nice. Bob

Truly Stunning John... Nothing like two Shovels to get er motorvated eh? The surface wear and dirt you put on this is what is flooring me the most. I love watching the Master at work Bob

I WANT ONE OF THESE KITS!!!! I'm watching as well. I gotta see how this one turns out. Bob

Completely Psycho build J. I'll bet it would be a handful to drive. Color combo is cool as well. Motor is sick.. Bob

Gorgeousity... Everything is right about this build. I have to get one now. See what ya did????!!! Bob

Bruno, that is a SUPERB kit in all ways. Probably L-Bergs best ever. Recommended highly. Bob

Beautiful Stingray there. Those MCG PE sets are a dream eh? Bob

Got the white, decals and one coat of clewar on her today. This dry heat is perfect for painting projects like this so I'm getting it done while I can. It needs another coat of clear before I buff it out but it sure did come out pretty cool. This pic was shot with the flash. I never use the flash so I though it was a throw away but it really is bright. Back to the chassis. Bob

Staight up boulevard bomber. I can hear Frampton or Van Halen on the radio. I was raised by rockers so no disco here. Schweet! Bob

Got some paint on her and did some additional work to the chassis. I bought a 5 way Detail Master harness off Norm Veber at the MAMA meeting today. This thing is schweet! Good thing I made the slot wider at the shoulder point. Shot the body in 97 degree heat with Tamiya bright red. It's already dry but I'll wait over night befre I mask the white portion. I have the decals cut out tight to the edge for a clean edge when I mask it. The white I'm using is Testors Model Master Classic White. A laquer that I have used over Tamiya with good results in the past so no worries there. Still struggling with the port injection but I have it 1/2 done and it looks good. I had to make a bracket for the idler pully since it was like a kit alternator, just floating out in space. Stole some blower restraints from my Inagural AA/FC kit. Got the chutes done and mounted on their plate as well. Also mounted the extinguishers. Robbing the decals from the other kit for those as well. Thanks to Dave Zinn for bringing some red spark plug wire to the meeting. Saved my vittles broski. Thanks Making progress even after todays MAMA meeting which was Awesome. Thanks for looking. Bob

High praise indeed J. The thing is. Doing one side is not to much of a problem. It's getting the other side to match that's the tricky part. The port injection is giving me fits but I'm slowly winning that battle. I painted the body red today. I'll post pics of that later. God Bless Tamiya spray cans! Bob

Super tight build, and my fave color for a Boss. NICE Bob

I build for realism most of the time. Functional? I build 1/25 so not really. comp1839, I can smell the Nitro through my monitor on your stuff dude. Bob

I am truly feeling the love on this build.. But it is tougher than some may think. The PORT injection lines are FAR tougher than any may think, and they are what are giving me fits tonight. Builds like this may seem simple after seeing them executed, but they are truly tough for those who aim to execute them. Once I have completed the port injection I will post pictures. As it stands it's taken me 2 days to get the lines straight, and another day to make the fuel block correct. I begin to undestand the BIG builds in doing this, and in my own way, contribute somehow to how BIG builds are accomplished. One build at a time..... Bob

She has mine and many here. Many more will chime in I'm certain. After all these years, love runs very deep. I feel for you bro. I wish her a speedy recovery, and no lasting effects, EVER. Enjoy those around you ALWAYS, they leave one day. You WILL leave them one day. Bob

NICE, The Bud King LIVES! Detailed more than your others Coyote. Good on ya. Bob

Yeah, I'll be there Dave. Been a while since I've been to a MAMA meeting. I got the wire at a localish craft shop Shane. My Mums always goes there for her knitting stuff and I happen to remember they had wire. Yeah Shane, keep your BMX gear. Perhaps you can make a whole bike? If not, be prepared to spend a lot on replacing the rest though. That stuff is now MUY expensivo. Bob.
