Keke... Man I am sure loving this Bug. It looks great. The whole build is gorgeous. Great job!!

Rom... Fantastic work my friend. This build is sure coming along and is looking great. that carbon fiber work is very nice. was it done in multiple pieces and did you shoot clear over it afterwards?? Looking forward to more on this bad boy.

Steve... awesome progress man! This build is just killer. That engine is sure coming along great! Keep up the great job you are doing. Looking forward to more.

John.. Wow Bud!!! this is Awesome. Man how it all has come together. You are one of the Mater builders for sure. The chassis is killer with things in place for sure. What did you use for the seat padding? I see there is a pattern in that material. Incredible work my friend!

Thanks John.... I can't wait to have my chassis and engine in the stage of your Daytona bud!! your build is looking great!

Bill... Practice makes perfect right?? LOL Jim... You know I still need to add caliper bleeders to it. I need to check with Robert at RB motion. He has them in 1/12, 1/24 and 1/8th scale but none 1/16th scale. I was thinking of checking how big the 1/12 and 1/24 are see if i could possibly use them but If I can get Robert to make them in 1/16th I will go that route Well Fellas.... I am stoked to say that I have redone my brake line and happy I re-bent it rather than cut and spliced the T-fitting in it. Here is a quick pic and hoping to get some more done on it tonight.

Thanks Joe... i will have to take a look at it. i have been using some aluminum and steel wire (bead wire) from hobby lobby and micheals as well as K&S piano wire and guitar string.

Brad I am stoked to see you back on this build. Love what you did on your 23T. I know this will be a beauty just like that one.

John.... that Chassis looks Wicked man. looking killer with paint on it.

Ray this build is looking great man!! nice work on it so far. keep up the great work. its a really cool looking build.

Joe... those fire bottle turn out sweet man!! The RB motion anodized fittings look great. I need to pick up sone of those. this build is flat out awesome!! i also wanted to ask on the pro tech hard line did it cone in straight sections or rolled up and you had to straighten yourself?? Keep up the killer work Bro!

Engine and chassis is looking great Brett!!

John... your work continues to blow my mind. That engine is looking Killer. thanks for the info on the gauges and belt. Do you know if Paul sells just the belt material or if you can only get in his engine kits. I am ready to see what you have instore for us next on this build.

Niko... job well done on this one bud. I love the added touch of the burn out rubber on the rear quarter panels. cant wait to see what your next project will be.

Hey Everyone!! I wanted to say thanks again for all of the kind words. Sorry I have been away from this build for about 2 weeks and haven't had time to work on it. I finally sat down for a bit tonight and worked more on my rear brake lines. I worked on this for probably 3 hours or more tonight bending and re-bending wire only to re-bend once again . I finally got an end result that I am happy with. So I started out with .015" Steel Music wire as well as .015" guitar string. The guitar string had more of a chrome like finish since it had a plating on it and the bare steel music wire seemed to look a little more like Stainless tubing. Let me share with you a little of this adventure tonight. In my first pic you will see that I went thru quite a few trials before I got something to work LOL. In this first pic was my many attempts at bending this wire in one shot. I first started with the idea of having the tubing bend in a half circle around the back part of the rear end only to find that I was not able to get a great half bend. So I then changed it up in bends with straight sections: Here is what I ended up with after I was happy and tired of redoing this line: Here is a view from the back: Up close Left side: Up Close right side: Now the kicker to all of this....After I had this done I didn't pay attention and then when I was starting to take pics I realized that I forgot to put my T-Fitting along with the RB-Motion fittings on before I made my bends on the right hand side. So now I am contemplating on what do do. Either. I re-bend a whole new brake line again or do I cut this brake line and put my fittings where I cut the line. Which would you choose to do?? Thanks guys. Hoping to have more for you Tomorrow.

Dave... I am speechless bud. I have no other words than you are a Master at this. Those carbs and manifold set up looks killer. I am still amazed its all machined and scratch build. I need to step up my game.... . I sure can't wait to see more of this.

Shane... those little details are looking great Man!. You are making great progress with this. Keep up the great work.

Virgil.... you did an outstanding job on this one. This turned out great. Love your builds!

This is a great looking build. I really like that you are using this wagon body. Keep up the great work!

Nice Build and great job on this kit

Wayne...this is sure coming along great and I am loving the progress you are making on this one. I really like how you have cut the side panel out as well, it will be a nice added touch. Keep the pics coming.

This is gonna be another cool build!! Reminds me when I lived in Sacramento and there was a guy who worked at Tognotti's Speed Shop he had a Pinto painted like the General Lee....

This is another great build Niko. Keep up the great work

Niko... Looking great man. This is sure coming together

Holy Smokes John... this is sure coming together. Man does that engine look nice and so does all of the bottles. You know I love your work Bud!! I do have to ask you what are you using for the gauge faces on the bottles. It looks great. And what material did you use for this belt. Looking great man. I also love the gaskets under the valve covers. every little detail is there. Sure is getting me motivated to get more done on my Funny Car. I haven't worked on it in almost 2 weeks.
