John Great work Buddy... that engine detail just looks amazing. this an outstanding build.

Romell.... Nice work on the Floor Pans... It looks great. What thickness of aluminum did you use for it. I need to make some side pieces for my Funny Car and debating on what I am going to use. Also got a pic of it from the other direction looking.

I tinkered on this a little tonight but not as much as I was originally planning. Just got the clutch safety blanket glued together and sanded on the rear tires. Not much of an update but heres a couple pics.... Sanding the tires... tire on left completed, tire on right still needs sanding: Clutch Blanket Halves glued together and just placed on the Clutch Bell Housing:

Richard... to answer your question, yep I have been wanting to rework the scoop on the hood. the kit is way off compared to the car...so I will be doing some magic on it... haha Thanks Brett Hey Bob glad to hear my build has inspired you to break one of them out. feel free to save and use any of the pics as reference.

Hey Charlie.... Thanks man. Thats awesome to hear about the throttle linkages, cant wait to see them and get them on this build. . Thanks Romell...I am hoping to make some more progress tonight, so we shall see what gets done....LOL

Romell... Holy Smokes this was an awesome build. great job and you can see alot of hard work went into this and it turned out beautiful. Look forward to seeing this in person one day.

This turned out great. I love that blue on this build. Very nice job with all of the detail.

Looking good Brett, it has turned out very nice.

The side window pieces put in place and transfer drilled holes into the body: The Manifold drilled for bolts on the rear: The Front Spindles primered and just about ready for some Alclad:

Thanks Shane. Was able to get more done to this. worked on Drilling out the bolts on the clutch bell housing. Also started with a couple of body pieces removing rivets and drilling them out for Scale hardware rivets. Drilled out a couple of bolt heads on the manifold and was able to shoot some primer on the front Spindles. Here are the pics..... Here is the Clutch Bell Housing with the kits bolt heads removed and holes drilled for hardware: Here is the Clutch Housing mocked up with the bolts in place: Side window pieces, the left is the kit rivets and on the right the rivets have been removed and holes drilled for Scale Hardware Rivets: Both sides done, I need to take the rivets out and lay some bondo down to fill the low spots and will be ready to glue to the body:

Very Nice Builds you have there. the dragster looks great, I need to pick me up one of these to build some day. its clean and simple, cant ask for anything more.

Charlie at Pro Tech has a couple of carbs. He has a Barry Grant Demon Carb in resin and a Holley Dominator in a metal cast. Barry Grant Demon: Holley Dominator:

Derrick... man buddy those shocks are killer and look great. Awesome work on them. as far as the springs go did you find a source for small springs or did you make them yourself out of wire wrapped around tubing? Can't wait to see more updates on this build. Keep up the great work.

Brad, That seat is awesome and looks great. I really need to get some of that print plate. As far for the seat belt material, what about medical wrap tape or bandage tape. Go take a look a the Datona Pro Mod build in "on the workbench" from Aftashox and you will see what I am talking about. I have some but I want to get some like what he used in his build.

Thanks Buddy, I had picked some up but just didn't look right. I will have to search for that brand and guess I need to pick up some different colored sharpies now too...

Rom... Nice work on the plumbing of the injector hat. I know how much work that can be. I remember when I bent all of the lines on my 1/16 FED build I have going on. Lots of time patience and extra wire... . I do want to ask what the material is that you used for the webbing on the seat belts, It looks great. and where did you pick it up at. I have picked up some medical bandage tape but seems that I can't find the right one with the right pattern...lol. Nice work... Keep Rockin'

Thanks John, glad you are enjoying following along. I can't tell you how much fun this build has been so far. I just wish I could make progress as fast as you do, Its impressive. I am getting in some good bench time this week, so I am hoping to have quite a bit more done to this.

Very Nice builds, they look great!

Romell... I don't mind you asking me at all. I actually had gotten them off ebay from a person name scaledetails. They are from a photo etch Ferrari set, they have them in 1/16 & 1/18 scale and I picked up both since I didn't know which ones would be the right size. If I remember correctly I ended up using the 1/18th scale because of the diameter of the disk. I had some one here send me a message saying that they had picked up some off ebay. I was pretty stoked cause I was looking everywhere for them lol... and since there isn't as much 1/16th scale detail stuff out there. I had to pick them up....lol

Romell... Nice work on the calipers and seat. Gotta ask you what size RB Motion A/N fittings are you using for your brake lines? I have been going back and forth on using either part no. 1520ST 0.020" dia line or part no. 1521ST 0.025" dia. line but am leaning towards the 0.025" line. Cant wait to see more progress on this.

John... I have no idea how i missed this build. Man this is looking great. The paint work is awesome. Engine detail looks good. Man I can't wait to paint some Alclad on my funny car build. Nice work John!

Thanks Brad, it felt good to get some bench time in yesterday. I feel I am making progress but the progress seems slow at times. Looking forward to working on more of it tonight.

Hey Wayne... If I PM you with my email addy would you mind emailing me the tutorial as well? Thanks man. Would be interested in seeing this.

Few more pics of some progress that I made tonight. Was able to primer some parts as well as get the photo-etched disk brakes glued together with the centers I made and opened up the bolt holes on the Rims for the bolt studs I am planning on using on the hubs. Thanks for looking.... The Rear End, Front Axle & Oil Pan have been primered, Oil pans molded in drain plug was removed and drilled a hole for a Scale Hardware bolt: The disk brakes finally glued: Drilling holes a little larger in the Rims for the bolts:

Very Cool.... I really like this build. It looks good and you did a great job on this. I love all of the Fast and Furious movies. I actually picked up a Tamiya 1972 Skyline to build Paul Walkers ride at the beginning of Fast Five. I found a source for the rims and I just need to order them and will build it right out of the box with the exception of lowering and adding wheels. Should be a fun project.
