Hey guys... Sorry i havent been around or posted anything for the past few days. Had a great time out at the races, got a bunch of great pics and pics with many of the drivers. Now I am motivaed to get much more done on this build. Tyrone... Thanks man Bart... John got knoced out first round by Beckman. I will need to figure out where to put the pics. I took about 500 to 600 pics. I will need to resize them. May be easier to to burn them to a disc for who ever wants them...lol Greg... Thanks Mate! I will be back at the bench tonight on this build. I am glad i did the refab work and am much happier with it now. Derrick...thanks man. It's cool when you can put a face to the name.

Looking good with all of the details. It's coming along nice.

Steve... Looking great man!!

Thanks Brad... I am so stoked and cant wait for tomorrow..gonna be a great satrday and sunday at the races. I will be taking lots of pics for sure and I have a funny feeling I will end up having more motivation after this weekend to get this funny built and finished. I also ordered some more parts from RB motion for the engine. Still waiing on the Machine Aluminum Specialties photo-etch detail stuff.

1) Get to meet other fellow modlers and to talk with them 2) See other peoples builds in person 3) Share my builds with others 4) Get ideas and motivation 5) Swap Meets/Vendor tables

I personally have used Detail master and Kens Kustom Fur for all of my flocking jobs. the best way I have found to do it after trying different techniques is to paint a color close to the color of flocking for a base. And then I use model master bottle clear bush it on in sections of the floor or panels. Then I poor my flocking into a wire strainer that is used for cooking. Hold the strainer over the area I am going to flock and then I tap the strainer which makes the flocking have a snow effect falling onto the part. I load the part up with flocking and then when I know I have covered the floor enough I take my finger and push down on it so I know its on there good. I tend to let it sit for a few and then I tap the excess off by tipping the part up or over and tapping on the back side. Then its ready for the next area and good to go. Hope that helps

Looking Good... Very nice on the tabs and getting the doors cut out.

He was a really nice guy as well and apologized for the wait being so long...lol I will be out at firebird raceway both Saturday and Sunday for the races. Totally stoked and should be getting a ton of pics for reference

Alright guys.... I wasn't able to get any work done on this tonight. but I just have to share what I got to do instead. They had a few Funny Car and Pro Stock Bike Drivers at the Local San Tan Ford tonight. and since I live a few miles from there I just had to swing by. Here is who I got to meet: John Force Robert Height Hector Arana Sr & Jr - both ride Pro Stock Bikes Needless to say It was an awesome experience to meet them all and I was totally stoked about getting this opportunity. Didn't really get much time to spend talking with John and Robert since the line was so long. But did get to talk with The Arana's for a little bit. I have nothing but great things to say about them. They were extremely friendly and answered my questions. What a pleasure to talk with these guys.

Thank you Gabriel, it was nice meeting you as well. I am going to try and make it out to one of your guy's build days and will bring it again and you can ask all the questions you want. I appreciate the kind words.

Hey Keith.... Looking good buddy. Now time for a large scale funny car or dragster . Look forward to seeing more of your builds

Wow... this is one incredible work of art. Don't know how I missed this thread. Beautiful paint!

This is looking great. Nice work on the decals.

Wayne, that trunk detail is looking great. Nice job on it.

I have to agree the stance is just Bad A$$ and its perfect.

Thank you Tyrone, I appreciate the kind words

Hey Joe... That frame is looking sweet and the firewall is looking good.

Looking good so far and making some nice progress

Tyrone....you are making some great progress. It's looking good. Nice looking rear wing.

Hey John... thanks man, appreciate the kind words from you. The guys from the "Moonlighters" are great guys for sure.

John... This build is coming along great. Love what you are doing with it and adding the Pancho Skeleton... is just Awesome. I have to give my opinion on the engine. I would go with the flat head myself so another vote for the blown flat head. Man that belt with bullets is just awesome. nice work.

Hey Virgil.... I bet its like whatching Overhaulin' at sema... and its done in a week... :lol:

Joe I hear you when you don't have the time. I know there are times that I just want to build and can't cause of other things that life brings up. Look forward to more soon

You are welcome. I wanna try it too cause they look great. don't think it should be too hard other than just being patient and taking your time. Make sure and post pics when you do. Would love to see them.

Derrick.... Thanks man. Hoping to make some more progress this week on this and have some good updates for everyone.
