Looking good.

You could do one of those remote single or dual oil filter kits where the filters are on the roll bar or frame, and it has lines that goes back to the adapter on the block. Those always look good on a race car.

I use this felt tip marker that is small enough at the base to begin and it starts to taper down to a fine point at the end. It's perfect for doing these wheels cause the sides of the spokes need to be colored black too. So, I can get the side spokes and then concentrate on the rest of the wheel where the slot is. And that fine point works well getting that space behind the lug nuts. I got it at Hobby Lobby where all the pens and Motolow Chrome stuff can be found. I don't know the name of the pen right off hand, I I can get it to you later if you want to know. And I'm sure they have others that will work just as well.

If you find it in the right sizes that wound string is great fuel lines, brake lines, and emergency brake cables to go under the chassis as well.

This is the only pic I have on this pc and it's just a string. I did find a couple other uses for the string. One is door cranks and handles using jewelry beads and tail gate cables. I got some used ones from a friend that used to play guitar and I found them on ebay really cheap. Some as low as 1 to 3 bucks a pack. And they come in different sizes. Just do a quick ebay search and you will all kinds of steel strings for guitars.

You could also use wrapped guitar string to replace them. It comes in different sizes and looks just like fuel and brake lines with the stone guards wrapped around it.

You are welcome. And love the dashboard. Just keeps getting better and better.

Wow, that body turned out great.

Keep in mind that if you do a 4x4 or tow truck, many of those have one or two piece shafts that have sliding yokes on the shaft.

That makes sense. It would be easier to dirty up once it's not moving around so much. Fingers and a thumb mark would be really cool looking. By the way, I broke a shaft in a dirt track car one night. Right in the middle and I thought it was going to come into the car with me. Right beside my seat at that. I got lucky. And you can see that white shaft laying on that red clay dirt too.

I like it. I really like the dirty ladder bars. Makes it look like it's been worked on at the track making adjustment. Might want to dirty up that white drive shaft in a few places. Those things get pulled out quite regularly. I know the one my race car never stayed pristine white. lol

May not be the color you were going for, but it looks good. Looks like it laid down just right.

Thanks. Yes, this is the R/T that I have in my parts stash. Split bench won't work for the Demon. Demone seat is straight across with adjustable head rests. Maybe I could take this one and fill it in and put the piping and head rests on it. Won't hurt to try.

Thanks. That's the R/T car with the cutouts in the doors, right? If so, I think I have that as a parts car in my stash. I think I used the engine, rear axle, and the a/c parts for a different build up. I'll check later tonight. I might get lucky for a change. Then I'll head to Hobby Lobby and get a Demon and get started.

That's possible I guess. I did not catch that. I just threw out the first auction that I saw trying to help the guy find what he needed.

They can be found on ebay. That one is built, but it looks complete and could be stripped down and rebuilt to fit your needs. $60 bucks. 1/25 JO HAN 1960 PLYMOUTH FURY CUSTOMIZING #2360:140 BUILT VINTAGE MODEL KIT | eBay

I want to follow this and see where it goes. I want to build one of these Demons too. My Mom had a brand new '71 Demon in Plumb Crazy Purple. I hated that car as a kid mainly because if the color, but I'd kill to have two or three of them these days. Funny how our outlooks change over the years. Does anyone make a bench seat for this car? I know most people want buckets, but if I build one I need a bench seat to keep it in line with Mom's car.

DJ reminded me when he said he had to add to the rear of the hood for length. I had to add to the Chevelle hood too. I had forgotten about that. The Chevelle hood has this curved lip on the rear of the hood, and it comes to a sharp point on the side and rear edges. This was done on the real car for the hide a way windshield wipers. So, I added to strips of evergreen to the front of the hood to get the length right. On the Chevelle hood the front edge is a v shape, so the strips had to be bent and glued in one side at a time and then sanded down and shaped. It worked out way easier to do it that way than mess with the contours on the rear of the hood. Hope that helps. I thought I had some pics of it, but I don't. Sorry about that.

Yes, it has to be blue. As for the gap, I had to fix that on a Chevelle hood. I needed a flat hood instead of the SS hood. All of the resin and 3d prints were not wide enough. I took the best one and glued a strip off evergreen down the length of the hood on both sides. Then sanded on both sides till I got it to fit with a perfect gap once primer and painted. If you do both sides, it will be uniform and sit in the opening correctly. Won't look right just to fill one side of it.

Looks like they just bent the fenders down where it curves at the back part of the wheel well opening. It has a distinct bulge there.

I feel your pain. It's no cooler or greener in Tn. either.

It just looks big cause there's no rocker arms on the studs. By the way, you're using that new 3/4-inch race cam, right? lol

Great looking car. I have a couple of them stored somewhere. I made Robo Cop cop cars out of them.

Good looking car. Well done.

No internet on my tv. Nope, can't track a fictious name or place or anything else like that. No rewards at my store that I know of. Even if they did hack it, they would only know someone enjoys building models as a hobby. And if you buy online, use a pre-paid debit card. Not attached to anything, so if they did hack that, they can't get anything and those don't require you name either, or a real name if you want to put one on it. There's always a way to get around the man if you want to. Just ask the serious one that get off the grid and stay off of it. Oh, and never give out your ssn either. No one needs to know that unless it's attached to taxes. If they insist, just make one up. If they don't catch that it's fake, that means it was never entered in any official way, so it was not tracked either.
