  1. will the camaro be starting back up soon? or is it on permanent hold?
  2. wonderful start to a killer looking build, clay. those dirt modeler pieces look smokin". also, your machine work looks terrific. super finish on that can. can't wait to see that BAE engine snuggled in there.
  3. looking great, greg!!!!
  4. another great build.!!!!
  5. the finalresult looks excellent, al!!!!!! it may have fought you but, in the end you won!!!!!!
  6. WOW! dominators on an ardun!! al, you've really been busy!!!! these are sweeeet!
  7. looks great al!! the car has real "prescence". love the color and the blown small block!
  8. joe, this would be the rack i am talking about with the clevis ends. it's stiletto rack. this way you could make non-flexible boots.
  9. looks great romell!! nothing i can add to what's already been said.
  10. first, the pinion location is incorrect. it should be below the rack not on top. as far as being too wide. it depends on what style rack you want to duplicate. if you are doing a rack with the ball socket inner tie rod end (like a stock rack) it doesn't look to wide. remember the ball socket is inside the boot. if you are duplicating a rack that uses a clevis and a rod end. it is too wide. the clevis and rod end live outside the boot. the important thing to remember is, the pivot for either of these setups needs to be as close as possible to the same vertical plane as the lower a-arm pivots. as far as the rack being too far forward. it's tough to tell from the picture but, it looks reasonable. if it helds the steering arm off the strut is about 6" c. to c.. hope this helps. if you have any other questions......yell.
  11. joe, it all depends on what you are trying to achieve. are you looking for "correct" or just "look good"?
  12. very cool! can't wait to see these. are they both hemi powered?
  13. you missed making it in 1/8 scale mike! hehe. looks great other than that! who's car ya doing?
  14. REAR SUSPENSION LOOKS KILLER GREG! except for the goofy wanna be mark williams rear you have there.......that thing sucks. LOL!
  15. looks like the setup you started with joe. i like this the best out of what you've tried. ahhh, who needs steering? hehe. it's highly over rated. can't wait to see this with the manifold and all the plumbing. should be AWESOME!!!!!!
  16. tyrone, sorry this is taking so long. i just asked about them again. appearently there was a mis-understanding. i hopefully will know something soon. hang in there. again my apologies.
  17. msd sells many kinds of "electronic box's". what type of ignition are you working on? as far as one for the starter and one for the eletronics box's, that's not necessarily true. you could do it that way but, you don't have to do it that way. as far as a smaller battery for the ignition, i was reffering to a mag ignition with an hand held / remote starter. that system can run off a very small battery in a car like that.
  18. oooooohhhhhhh, shiney and sparkly!!!! hehe. looks great romell! i've waiting a long time to see this. should be a real treat to see what you have in store for us!
  19. great videos!! scratching is so much fun.
  20. joe those turbos don't need an opening to the hood. personetts car doesn't have them. they don't come awhole lot faster than that. i was referring to the pressurized air tubes from the turbos and whether they'll go to the front or rear of the intake manifold.
  21. that would be the accurate choice. adrl and most outlaw cars run no minimum weight so carrying two batteries would be shooting a hole in your own foot. the new lithium batteries joe is referring too, have smoking power and you only need one. at about 20 pounds for the battery your saving a ton of weight.these cars are all about being seriously light. nhra cars are a different story. these cars need to make a specific weight and are not allowed a lot of bolt in ballast (30 lbs. max. seems to ring a bell). batteries escentially are bolt in ballast without actually counting as bolt in ballast. i believe the total weight allowed is 100lbs.
