This is very nice and well done. Looking forward to seeing the completed pics. Great Job!

Ira... congrats on your award as well. Nice job on that build.

Art... it was great to see you for the short time I was there as well. I wish I could of stayed for the whole show, Next year I will be there for the whole show. Congrats on the Staff Picks..... those types of awards that are truly an honor and you deserved it. You do some killer builds

Ira.... This is gonna be another great build. I can't wait to see what you do to it.

Joe.... Headers look killer man. That's awesome that Clay emailed you on how to fix. You sure knocked the headers out of the park and glad you were able to fix them. Looking forward to your next update.

Well guys I just wanted to give a quick update even though I don't have pics to share I have been making progress. I have gotten some more primer on the front axle and spindles and it's getting closer to being ready for some Alclad. My biggest hurdle at the moment is sanding the chassis. I have been sanding the primer prepping it for one more coat of primer before paint and I have to tell you that it has been kicking my butt. I have been cutting thin strips of sandpaper to be able to sand every tube of the chassis. It's really time consuming and can't wait to have it done. Hoping to have some more photo updates for you soon.

I can't wait til my local hobby shop gets it in. I seriously need to just get a subscription

I personally use Solidworks to draw up most of my model parts. some times AutoCAD. But I prefer doing them in 3D solid models. I have been using CAD programs for the past 10 years in my profession.

Wow this is a totally cool build. I really like where this build is going. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see more.

Very nice and it looks great

This is totally cool and gonna be a great build. Nice start so far. Keep up the great work.

I am agreeing with Jeff and Tyrone. I think they look great Joe. Tyrone has a great idea about misting some other shades of metalizer on them. Keep going with them man they are looking great.

Joe that header looks great. Nice job on the Alclad. Which color was this again?. I do have to agree that Alclad is very easy to use. I have a pretty good supply of colors and have only shot two of them so far lol.

You guys are welcome. I wanted to be able to help my fellow modelers if I could. As I mentioned if you want the excel file so you can print it out just let me know.

Mods.... Is it possible to have this thread Pinned to the top of this section? Thank You Hello Fellas.... I have been thinking about doing this for a while because It seems we have a lot of people always looking for what size tubing, Nuts & Bolts, A/N Fittings and Braided Line for race cars. So have have been working on these for the past week developing these tables in an Excel spreadsheet. I had started doing this for myself when I started my Army Vega funny car kit to figure out what I should use to keep things in scale as best as I could But I had never really put them into spreadsheets like these til now. I thought it would be good to share with my fellow modelers here and if it could be of any use to any buddy. I am hoping that maybe the Mods could possibly pin it to the top Here or maybe if I am wrong in putting it in the Drag Racing section they could put it where fitting. I just thought it was fitting for the Drag Racing section because of the typical uses for these materials but its not limited to just drag cars and can be used for any car. I also wanted to let you all know if you are interested in having the Excel file I created just PM me and I will email you the file. I have these all set up on different tabs of the spreadsheet and I had to break them out and turn them in to jpgs so I could post on here. Hope this is helpful to everyone. Tubing Sizes: Braided Line: -Descriptions are from an Earls catalog Adding more in next few post.....

Joe... those headers look sweet man. Keep doing what you are doing cause its looking great. Nice work on this build
