Mike... These are some very nice wheels and tires. I see a couple of styles I may have to pick up from you. Gorgeous work.

Ray.... You have to come and you have to bring your builds with you.

Joe... Very nice work my friend. Are you sure this is your first attempt at Machining?? You could of had me fooled. I think the rim looks great and I am looking forward to the bead locks next. I need to take notes so I can do some nice work like this.

Hmmm.... Chuck Norris??

John.... dang everyrhing is awesome. I love the figure and the helmet is just awesome too. That body looks killer? The paint Is gorgeous. I cant wait to see this in person in less than a week. Is the driver Mr. Don Garlits him self??

Ok Fellas... So I got more work done last night and was too tired to post pics last night. Here are the pics Here is the brake line set up: I got the Engine Glued in place: Installed the oil filters along with Pro Tech braided line. you can totally tell how much better the pro tech line is compared what I had installed 17 years ago. I really would love to change out the other lines with Charlies: Here I installed the Kit gas pedal and linkages along with the polished floor that I made from a cut up soda can many many years ago...lol:

Bob... I couldn't help myself. I was too excited....

Art... That right there is some mighty fine work Brother. Its great to see you making some great progress on this. It is sure a beautiful build. Killer work!!

Danno... I have a plan to use them. Paul... i will be beinfing them to the Desert Scale Classic and you can get a better idea of the size. Derrick... thank you for taking the time to go thru all those pages to catch up on this build. I appreciate the kind words. I am sure everyone is itching for an update on this. Once i get my FED done for our bif show here in a week, I will be back on this so for sure in a week. AcrualkybI cant wait to get back on this build.

Steve... thank you. Hey Fellas.... I wanted to give you all an update. I got some bench time in last night but wasnt able to get any pics up. I worked on the brakes and got all of the brake lines made and installed. Boy i gotta tell you they were a little bit of a pain in the butt... took a couple hours to get them right but while installing them i broke my brake lever so now I need to fix that as well as the bracket for the steering gear box. I busted too. Tonight when i get home from work I am gonna fix these few things as well as getting the motor installed and a few other goodies done. If I can get everything done tonight like i would like to, all that I would have left is polishing the body and getting the headers finished and glue the wheels in place... I think. I hope to have some good pics to show later this evening with an update. Stay tuned

Dave...your wheels are off the charts and top notch my friend. I swear I was looking at a 1:1 set. Awesome work.bring on the next update....lol

Dave... Thank you. John... Thank you ....why are the twins getting worries. They wanting to make sure their purple buddy is sitting next to them?

Danno.... thanks buddy Brad.... thank you. i have to agree the colors work pretty good together. I am hoping to be able to complete the brake lines tonight as well. Then I can get the engine and driveine glued into place. Install the gas pedal and linkages. As well as Get back to the headers and maybe even add the stud details to ther rear wheels. Mike.... thank you my friend. It is getting closer for sure but seems I keep thinking of little extras to work on lol

Paul... thabk you very much... i am chipping away at this little by litte

Johnny Boy... I just love your work Brother. Man this thing is looking killer. I love every little detail you have added to this and the addition to the cart. Just awesome man. I am stoked to see this in person in a bout a week and half... I can't wait for you and Big Bird to get here

I got some more bench time on this one tonight. Was able to get the two rear body panels polished out and installed as well as started on the brake work. I will let the pics do the talking..... Here are the two rear panels after color sanding and polishing it out. Very happy with the finish on them. Was trying to get a really good shot for you to see how smooth it turned out: Here are a couple of shots of the body panels being glued in to position. I used some Tamiya tape to hold them in place while the glue dried and you won't believe me but I used Micro Scales Micro krystal Klear to glue them in place...lol: Bottom View: Getting the brake calipers glued into place: The other side: Here are a couple of what I thought cool looking shots to share with you:

Bob.... Thank you very much Mike... Thank you Buddy... I wasn't sure if was a little too much weathering on it. Jason... Thank you very much. I wanted to dirty it up just a tad...lol

Brad... Super Impressive my friend. Man I love this build. I am not sure what my favorite part is of this build now.... I love the propane tank but then I love the Rod and Reel along with the basket. You are always so creative with the little small things that just add a ton of life to your build. I admire your craftsmanship. Awesome work and I can't wait to see this in person in about a week and half.

Awesome start on this build and I love The Walking Dead!

Brad.... i have got tear drop trailer on the brain... buddy. Cant wait to see the updates as well as getting to see it in a couple weeks

Tyrone.... This is one bad A$$ build my friend and looking killer. Loving the rims on it too... Jim did an awesome job. I have to agree that I like the 2nd pic with the blower. I have been told bigger is better....haha lmao

Dave... Those have to be some of the best headers I have ever seen. Your work is top notch my friend. Excellent craftsmanship on these .... I love the weld beads and the heat stains are just awesome. Keep up the killer work.
