Hey Micheal.... I think this is great to expand for another seat. I know I will be purchasing a few in 1/16th scale when you get it done. I personally don't know what the angle of the seat back needs to be. I wish I had info on seats to let you know.

Darryl.. This camaro looks killer bud. Very nice work. I love the garage diorama you shoot these builds in. Totally cool

Hans... Thank you for your opinion on the filter. I just google Moroso filters and it looks like that's what is on the funny car. Looks like I need to redo the filters and see if someone can draw the decal up for me.

Mike.... thanks for the pic of the gage cluster for the dash.... that thing looks sweet!!! Keke... thank you. I am going to be attempting at making my own mexican blanket from some different color thread I picked up. Hoping it turns out like I would like.

Niko... thank you on the compliments on the brake lines. It only took me two tries to make it right this time... ..... I had made an initial one from some soft wire to get a general shape and then took me only 2 tries with the music wire.

Hey Lee... Thanks for the Kind words on this build and for following along. If you have any questions on anything feel free to ask and you are more than welcome to save any of the pics for reference. Regarding the oil filters I have to agree with you that I don't think he used Wix. I will be honest and Wix was the only oil filter decals I was able to find on any of my 1/16th drag decals from slixx I had. Maybe I need to look up some frame and Lee Filters to see if they had any in white. I may need to talk to someone and see if they can draw up some different oil filter decals for me. I am half tempted to take the wix decal off but I thought it would look funny with just a plain white filter with no decal. Here is one of the only reference pics I had to go from on the oil filter. If anyone has any thoughts or comments on what brand of oil filter you think is in this pic I have posted below, let me know. Thanks

Art.... looking good brother!! I am looking forward to seeing this project come to life I know you will kill it just like the rest of your builds.

John.... That gold base looks great my Brother. I can't wait to see more of this. I have to ask on the mini flake.....what brand was it I just checked slixx's website and couldn't find it. is it HOK flake?? Looks killer

Niko... this is looking sharp... I think you nailed the stance. Keep up the great work. I can't wait to see what you decide for colors on this build.

Tyrone... Excellent work my friend. This turned out gorgeous!!! Well Done

Morning Fellas.... I have a quick little update with a few pics from yesterday. I didn't get a whole lot done but I had one hurdle in the way before I could call mounting the rear end in permanently., which was getting the brake line bend out of .015" dia music wire. I also need to get the coupling painted to get it mounted in the rear end as well. Here are the pics Here is the brake line mocked up in the chassis with out the "B" nuts on the line: Here is where the brake line ties into the "T" Fitting, the "B" nuts still need to be added: Here is the fuel line with the "B" nuts: I also got the decals on the oil filters:

Sflam...Thank you. Also thanks for your opinion on the bolts. Mike... Thank you bud!! Larry... Thanks for the compliment. I have been trying to out do myself and push myself to go farther on a build than I ever have before.

Mark.... This looking great!

That paint looks nice and turned out great!.

Niko.... Thank you for the kind words. It is nice seeing it coming together. I can't wait to get more stuff on the chassis. Daniel... Thanks. Since I have been laid off its given me a little more time at the model bench...lol Scott.... Thanks bud I really appreciate your opinion on this. Tyrone... Thanks man, it finally feels like I am getting somewhere with this build. Bill.... Thanks buddy. I can't tell you how stoked I am with having the chassis painted. Now I just want to add more to it but I need to think out what parts I need to put on in first so I don't paint myself into a corner so to speak lol.. I am hoping to Alclad the front axle tomorrow then I can permanently mount the front axle.

John... This looks great in primer and looking forward to seeing it with some color on it. I know you will knock the paint out of the park.

Mark... It's great to see the beginning of the decals going on this one. I know these small decals can be tricky. It's looking great.

Mark... Nice work on the carbs and wheels. They look great!

I couldn't agree more with Brad on what he said about your talent and skills. John I wanna be like you and be able to pump a model out in a month and be able to spray Alclad as perfect as you do.

Danno... Thanks buddy! .... Gotcha speechless huh. John...thanks my Big Brother... I don't see this a perfection but I am honored you are saying it is. You have set that bar way up there for all of us builders. I think you receive perfection with your builds because they are always top notch with beautiful detail and flawless paint. I will say this I am very proud of this and now seeing the paint and how great it turned out. even though there are a few spots on the chassis that could look better I am still happy with it. I feel I have reached a big milestone with getting this chassis painted and am super excited to get more of it assembled. I now only wish I could get the results you do with alcad. I Did prep some more spoons with the HOK back base and urethane clear and gonna do another Alclad spoon test in hopes of receiving better results with these ones based this way and trying your method. Then I will Alclad the front Axle so I can get the rolling chassis done.

Mark... outstanding work on those front rims... They are gorgeous!! I think I will have to get a set of them from you

Good Morning Fellas... little update from what I worked on yesterday. I started assembling a few items on to the chassis. I also had to make some adjustments to get the rear end in place by lightly sanding the mounting spots for the rear end. I Had to of worked on that for a couple hours because I was taking my time not to mess up the paint anywhere. But got it all done and was able to get it mounted. On with the pictures... Here is the Chassis sitting on TDRs jack stands. Don't mind the jack stands just have a quick coat of primer on them. I will be sanding them and painting them: Here I glued in the Master Cylinder to the chassis and added the bolt hardware, Now I can make the final portion of the break line that will go from the master cylinder to the "T" Fitting on the rear end: Here are the body mounting pads mounted to the rear of the chassis, Now I am debating should I use the Nickle Silver bolts (representing Grade 5 bolts) like I did on the master cylinder or leave it with the brass (representing Grade 8 Bolts)?? Let me know your thoughts: Here is a shot from the rear trying to show the contrast between the chassis and rear end colors:

Darryl... Thanks man. The paint stand worked great. I think I should of made the height just a tad taller Steve... I mounted it the same way as the front and used my lower rear end mount point to screw the bolts into. Dave... Thank you sir!! I feel its a huge milestone at this point . I can't wait to get more of it done now.

Scott... Thanks brother...I have started the assembly process. Got the body pivot mount back on and trying to figure if I should glue the master cylinder in so I can mount the rear end in next Iol. Hope to have some pics up later

Hey Bill...I wanted to check in and see if you have made anymore progress on this build. Hope all is going and looking forward to some updates.
