  1. sweet! that's precisely what i'm looking for. pm sent.
  2. i was wondering if anyone was aware of a company that produced a '37 chevy pro mod body? if worse came to worse. i would like to know if any model companies made a '37 chevy kit? thanks for any answers you may have.
  3. incredibly clean build!!!!! outstanding craftsmanship!!!!!
  4. wow!!!!!! davey, you knocked that one not only clear out of the park but, straight into orbit!!!!!!! stunning craftsmanship my friend.
  5. dave, the injector hat and the barrel valve look great! very nice work. the belt sounds like the ticket!. keep up the great work.
  6. sorry i didn't reply a little earlier tyrone. been a little busy. if it helps i took some close up shots of all the emblems/ tail lights/ grille and chrome on this '57. it used to the one j.r.todd drove. if it'll help. maybe some one can do some decals for you. these are a little out of my league.
  7. niko, i can't wait to see what you do with this build. these cars have a bit of a sweet spot in my heart. keep up the fantastic work.
  8. don, you bet it will. it'll probably see the track a few times before it makes it to the street. dave, i guess it all depends on the guy who owns the car. some guys use chute launchers and might feel they don't need the net. also might depend on the style of wheelie bar, where the chutes are mounted, etc.. personally i'd use the net. on some of the tracks with shorter shut down areas, i've seen chutes get tangled in the bars and become ugly fast. the net is not a mandatory item.
  9. thanks guy! ted, as far as the interior goes it was originally built to be a pro street car. so, it already has provisions built in for twin recaro seats. as much of the c/f and race stuff as can, will remain. it will need a speedo oil pressure and a fuel gauge. very sparce on the interior.this car was originally built by vanishing point. some of you may have the build pics stored away. there have been a ton of upgrades done to it since it's original build. as far as rear tires go, hoosier makes a set of 33 x 22.5 x 15 quick time pro (DOT tires) that will end up on the rear. they are a little smaller than the 34.5 x 17 16 on it now but, they will have to do.
  10. not a problem, bart. jeff, ya might think it does. hehe. thanks for the support guys!!!!!! i'm biting the nails off my fingers 'til she arrives!!
  11. i'll be getting back to the camaro shortly. i have some things i need to do to finish the '37's new home. thanks for the overwhelming support here guys! i do appreciate it. leonard when she's ready.........you'll know it! bring extra shorts. hehe!!!
  12. looks like the start of another killer ride, joe. if you need anything yell.
  13. bart, here's the deal. rich shainline put his '37 chevy pro mod up for sale. the guys at precision worked their butts off to come up with a win - win deal for rich and myself. i can't begin to thank rich, jim and doug for the effort they went through to make this deal happen. anyway, i'm going to be purchasing the car. i'm just finishing up all the loose ends on my deal to get the money together to buy it. the bank now officially is in the soul acquisition business. as far as the 903 pat musi motor. i only wish i could afford it! hehe. the thing makes incredible power. the car is going to be transformed into a (excuse me as i clear my throat, ahem) street car. it will live out the rest of it's life without the brutality of 3000h.p. spanking it. here are some shots of the car: i will be removing the aero nose and replacing it with a more stock looking unit.

  20. thanks for asking bart. everything is fine here. i'm trying to get all my ducks in a row for the new 1:1 project. lot's to get handled in a short amount of time. it'll be some good times i'm sure.
  21. thank you so much guys!!!!!! i appreciate it. if any of my work inspires or causes you to go the extra step or put in that extra detail......well it just isn't any more satisfying than that!! sorry for the lack of updates. i've been busy lately trying to take care of some other things. i'll get back just as soon as i take care business. thanks again.
