Jim......thank you for your concern about the truck........while I am waiting for the decals to be finished .......I started this project........hope to have the decals soon........thanks Brad......the aluminum sheets I use.........I get from the local train store......they are really thin aluminum 4x8 sheets that you can cut with scissors and file really easy........ cost is cheap too........thanks.

Brett.......not sure about the blower/manifold.......my friend Art Laski gave it to me......I will ask him soon.......thanks

Darryl........always a treat to see your builds.......but,I really love your junkers and Dioramas.......not that you don`t build AWESOME drag cars......it`s just that not many of us can`t build junkers and Dioramas like you do. .......can`t wait to see your next one.

Hello.....thank you all for your kind comments.......my good friend Art Laski gave me a spare drag engine with a couple of Chevy valve covers for this build......thanks Art..........I combined parts from his engine with the Corvette big block engine that I had.......I made a new injector.......and used "Pro Tech" pulleys........I made some brackets for the blower and made a front pulley plate........I drilled out the valve cover cap and put it further up front like the 1:1 car.......I re-shaped and drilled the headers......I noticed on my pictures a few things are out of scale......I will fix that.......thats the good thing about pictures ......it magnifies things ......so you can make changes if needed.......thanks for looking.

Brad.......very nice......GREAT start
