Romell... No need to leave man. I am trying to catch up to you my friend .... gotta get a few of these builds completed before NNL's. I know I have some time but wanna have these completed for it. Thanks Tyrone!!.... Little bit later I know I will be color sanding some more on these parts and hopefully have them ready for some polish in the next few days.

Jeff Thanks man. I am hoping to have drawings made so I can convert to PDF's and get these parts made soon. I have gotten to do a little work on this build so far today and here are some pics, Still working on it today just wanted to post a few progress pics from today so far. worked on putting some bondo on the front axle, oil pan and sanding it down to lay some primer on it. Also finally got some glue I have been waiting to use on the photo etch disk brakes. Here is the oil pan and front axle after putting some bondo down on it: All sanded and ready for Primer: Getting ready to finally glue these and then its time to design and scratch build the brake calipers:

Brad you have done some great work on this build with that printing plate. Love that gas pedal, awesome detail work on it. I really need to get some of this material. Post pics of the seat already

Romell... Those headers turned out great. Nice job on them.

Thanks Romell, I appreciate the kind words about my builds.... I was thinking about making the butterflies work when I started this build and it has been on the back on my mind. Hey man those headers are looking good. I had picked up a couple sizes of aluminum tubing that I wanted to make my headers out of for my funny car. Haven't started on them yet but have the material and ready to make them. Keep up the great work.

Brett, No worries at all, I completely understand. I know how it can be fustrating when decals don't work like they are supposed to. Looking forward to seeing this the decals laid down on this.

Tyrone this is looking great. The chassis is turning out great and the engine is off to a great start. Keep up the great work.

Romell.. Looking good. I cant wait to see the working butyerflies..... Hmm I may have to borrow this idea and step up my game on my funny car to keep up with ya LOL.

Nice job on this. The decals and paint looks great.

Brett offer still stands if you want me to send.ou the decal sheet from my kit. Since i won't be using it.

Looking good Brett. The decals are looking great.

Very Nice Build! It looks great and came out nice.

Thanks Robert. I have been very happy with how the paint and decals came out for me. I can't wait to have it all color sanded and polished out.

Richard that is great to hear about the job.... Congrats on it. I know the feeling, I am still doing contract work, its not perminante but thankful I have a job. Thats awesome about the body and scoop for your build. looking forward to seeing your builds. will be great if you can make it up for the Desert Scale Classic next year.

Niko... this is going to be a great build. It is off to a good start. I have some pics of a pro street Falcon from a car show from years ago. I will try and find them and post a few pics up for you when I have some time to dig thru my pics. Keep up the great work on this.

Wayne... this is looking great. Love the new paint job you did. Going to be a nice build.

Thanks Jim... as soon as I get the drawings completed I will .pdf them and send them over to you. I have a few minor tweaks I want to do to the parts, other than that they are ready. just need to lay them out in a drawing and dimension them. Brad that looks awesome with the belt in there. I will have to add a belt to the assembly now

Richard.... So true about the pulley's. I appreciate the feedback. That one is my preferece as well. Was just thinking as a back up plan the one on the outside.

I was able to sit down and redsign the pulley's just a tad. Again I thank Dave for the advice on something I overlooked. I added 6 bolts to the crank pulley, added a separate piece of detail on the Blower Pulley for the starter engagement. The two pulley's you see off to the left side are alternate designs of the pulley's. which Idler pulley do you think looks better. I know the one on the left would be easier to machine but one on right would be more accurate. Thanks for looking.

Ok so in the mist of working on the Funny Car build I have taken a quick break to do a little work on this Front Engine Dragster. Yesterday I was able to start color sanding and polishing the body. I only got 3 pieces done so far and hoping to get the rest done possibly tonight so I can jump back to the funny car. Here are a few pics of this color sanded. Once I have all of the pieces color sanded I will then polish them out. Thanks for looking..... Here is the body again, the front 3 pieces have been color sanded. I started out with 3200 Grit paper and worked my way up to 12000 grit. Here is my LMG polishing kit that I am using on it. I will end up either using Mothers or Meguiars polish to finish them off. Here is kind of an up close view, this is with out any polish on the part that I am holding. The piece off to the right was only sanded with 3200 and 3600. will hit it with the rest of the grit of papers.

Brad Scale hardware won't be making them. I have a few places I was going to check and see what they would charge to make them. I have talked to Micro Nitro about making them as well as a local machine shop that we use where I work. Thanks Dave, You know, you are right about the lower pulley. I am going to change the design so there are the 6 bolts. I think I ended up drawing the pulley like that since that the way the one was in the kit. Thanks for the advice. I sould of done that from the beginning and was being lazy.

So I was able to finally sit down and start designing the pulley's I am planning on having made. Right now these are just the first stages of the design. The crank pully is completed, the Idler pulley I am debating on changing just a smidge and the Blower pully still needs starter engagement piece designed which will go on the front face. All of the hardware you see in the 3D model will be Scale Hardware products. Anway wanted to share this quick update..... Thanks for looking

Richard...Very cool on the bodies. I believe I have found his stuff on ebay. I just havent purchased one yet. Tyrone... thanks bud, I still have a ways to go but am excited about this build. Danno... Thanks buddy. I may make it out to one of the club meetings soon just to check things out. Randy... Thanks, glad you are enjoying following this build.

Holy Smokes Rickard...I am with Wayne and Tyrone. Very Impressive. the detail is just amazing. This is going to be one heck of a build and looking forward to it.

Great work Romell.... Looking good with the Hubs and Bead Locks. This is sure coming together nicely. I need to catch up with you on my build as it seems I have been slacking to get some more done on it...
