68 Camaro El General Pro Mod (updates 05/06/12)
comp1839 replied to tyrone's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
i'd say you nailed it tyrone! they look great. -
jack, thanks for the suggestion but, there are just too many intake runner shapes / spacings / lengths and plenum designs for me to even attempt to make one. thats probably something best left to the individual modeler and his or her engine combination.

What Would You Show Up In?

bill, that is by far the best model i have seen........bar none. incredible craftsmanship!!!!!!!!!

thanks chris and stump. i'd like to make this part clear. i'm pretty sure it's illegal to make perfect copies of anything. be it these carbs or the pro mod body. something to do with copyright laws. all of the parts i do have changes made to try and make the part as close as possible and keep the legal types happy. if they're not happy the part goes away. anyway. here are some shots of what i'd like to provide. we'll call it dual carb 101. we'll start with a pair of dominator style carbs. which are 2 large 4 bbl. carbs. hopefully we can then make these into what are called "splits". these are those large 4 bbl. carbs cut in half and made into escentially (4) 2 barrel carbs. after that i'll be drawing up what are actually very large 2 bbl. carbs. hope this helps. chris, i don't have any working experience with a street roadster. i've seen them built, i have a couple of friends who've run them but, no, i haven't run one. sorry

thanks guys. bart, the lines are dimensional lines. they denote a dimension on either the "x" or "y" axis. you're right about it being easier having access to parts. it's even better when you own them. the pair of dominators are mine. LOL!

i love pro stock. i love fords. what's not to like here? fantastic job. keep after it.
-
i'm working as fast as i can on the carb. the process involved is......... i do hand drawings and turn them over to tim. he converts it to a 3-d drawing / file then we get them printed. i personally believe in accuracy. so when ever i can i use the real mckoy as a model.

for only your third build i am quite impressed with the fore thought to color coordinate the engine, the stripe and the wheels. good job!

F.Y.I. as soon as i get caught up with this dragster. i plan on doing a dominator style carb and the braswell 2 barrel that is currently the most popular carb on the large pro mod engines. obviously tim and TDR will be handling it.
