  1. I love this topic! This was my first build upon my re-entry into the hobby since I was a kid after 25 years. After seeing all the wonderful sprinters on this thread, I want to build some more!
  2. Excellent! Glad I could be a part of that. Thanks for the compliment. Thanks, Marcos! I've picked up a tip or two from you along the way. Thanks for looking!
  3. John P., Gene, Richard, Rusty, Tom, Stuart and Chris- your comments make it worth posting, so thanks for looking and your great comments. Art
  4. Thank you, Tim! John Teresi gave me this kit, but I had to get second one from your buddy Dave Dale to replace all the parts I lost or broke in the last year!
  5. Not worthy? Funny! Seriously, though, Johnny, without all your help and encouragement, this thing would not be half this good. Thanks for all you've done to help me on this project so far.
  6. Thanks, Dave! I just used CA glue to blue the pin in the rod so far, but I'm sure I'll use the same after it's painted too. Thanks, Brad! Thanks for continuing to check in.
  7. Awesome, Patrick!
  8. After all the modifications I made to the rear suspension, the stock exhaust just didn't fit anymore. So I decided to reroute the rear portion. Luckily, I just happened to have some solder that was the exact thickness of the pipes. I cut them at the muffler and made new pieces that are pinned and I can insert them separately through the suspension. It should be all downhill from here! Thanks for looking!
  9. OK guys, thanks for "check"-ing in! I finally have a few more pics for you. I spent quite a bit of time figuring out the brake details, but I think I ended up with something I like. Here are a few shots of the brake lines and fittings and the master cylinder. a few more...
  10. Very nice build, Steve.
  11. The wheels are awesome, John!
  12. Looks great, Ray!
  13. I've been working on it, but just little adjustments to accommodate some of the scratch-built parts, so there's not much to show. I had to shorten the fuel pump a little and make some fittings for the fuel and oil lines. I'll have more pics up soon, and thanks for checking in!
  14. The canopy is killer, Buddy!
  15. Oh, I'm pretty sure I can't afford it! I could probably buy a real Seven if you value your time the way I do.
  16. Mark, can I please place an order for one of those kits? Incredible work, as always....
  17. Thank you guys! With the injection, I needed to make a fuel pump to go along with it. I thought about using the fuel pump from the Monogram sprint car kit, but it's just a little too bulky. So I decided to make my own, using the cap from the sprint Hilborn pump.
