Well Guys... I don't have much to share that I got accomplished on the car but I can share my latest 3D printed parts that I finally received. Pretty happy with all of it other than one hiccup that I had tonight with the blower belt which means I need to order a few more but I am concerned that with the lead time of the Frosted Extreme Material that It will hold me back from completing this build in time for the Desert Scale Classic here in April. So needless to say I am pretty bummed out and want to put this build back on the shelf. Its become more of a job than fun anymore. Anyway here are a few pics of the parts... Here are all of the Parts I had Printed in Frosted Extreme Detail Material: Here is an upclose shot of the linkages for the Barrel Valve, Injector hat and Fuel Shut off Valve. the linkages on the left are in 1/16th scale and the one on the right are 1/8th scale: Here is the Mallory Ignition box: Here is the K-Style Barrel Valve: Here is the back side of the Barrel Valve:

Randy... Thanks for the kind comments. Well I have to be honest after yet another set back tonight you may not be the only one at the projects underway table. I already lost about a weeks worth of build time being sick and then I found out I have another issue with my blower belt that has me pretty bummed out and ready to put this build back on the shelf for a bit. The dang Frosted Extreme Detail parts took me about 3 weeks to get and I am realizing that I am not sure if 6 weeks is enough time for me to finish this build. I know I am trying to rush it to get this thing done. I will do what I can but if its not done then its not done.. I will be disappointed but what else can I do.

Brad... This Build turned out Fantastic. I love it Brother!! You did one heck of a job on it. I can not wait to see it in person. I Know I have been sick since the weekend but Did I hear that correctly that you are possibly going to be starting a 1/16th scale build?? All of these years of me twisting your arm is finally working??

Dave... You know I have to chime in here...lol I think I have you all beat and need to take lessons since its taken me 5 years to get this Army Funny Car completed. ... I am like a Slow Turtle when it comes to building... haha

Brent... I am totally Digging this build and loving that you decided to go with an Altered. The stance and body look great!!! I know all too well what you mean about how it can be overwhelming with so much work to do and only so many hours in a day. Little by little you will chip away at it and it will get done. I had one of my dear friends here tell me if I am just able to get to the bench for 30 mins to an hour a day progress will be made little by little. Keep up the great work;

Holy Smokes Tim... I come back from being sick since over the weekend and Holy Cow are you killing this build with those fine little details. Nice work on the suspension bracket and lower suspension arms Everything is looking great.

Johnny Boy.. well Hot Dang that is looking awesome!!! You are making some killer progress. Nice work buddy looks like you are almost done with all of the fabrication on it. I can't wait to see paint on this bad boy.

Brad... I would like to get it done in time for it...but I guess we will see if I make it or not. Tim... sounds like we both need to experiment a little more with it. I haven't had time to mess with mine. I was hoping to get some updates up for you guys but I have been sick since Saturday evening. I did get some of my parts back from Shapeways and I am really pleased with them. Will try to get some pics posted of them tomorrow.

John... Hey Brother... this build is looking freaking awesome!!! The work to that chassis and Pan is flat out Killer and I love it. Then to top it off with working headlights.... Totally cool. You are always making me proud and Amazing me at the work you do.

John... You know we are all waiting for another update on this Bad A$$ build..... You know you can't fool us you work faster than a speeding bullet... So its time for another update.

Brad.... this is one outstanding build here. It has turned out gorgeous . I can not wait to see this in person. Those center caps be the icing on the cake. Bet it feels good to be 98/99% done with this one.

Simon... I still owe the pics of the parachute mount bracket. Brad... I haven't had much to share lately that's real exciting. I finally got the last coat of clear on the wood grips for the steering wheel done and finally happy with them. Will have to get some pic posted of them. I also have gotten the rims drilled for the RB Motion Valve Stems. Then I just have been working on the body sanding and doing body work so I can get another coat of primer on it and have it ready for paint.

John... Freaking awesome work on those front headlight pieces. I bet they had to be a paint in the butt to do. They look great. you keep chipping away at this build. Keep up the great work.

Holy Crapola!!! That is so Dang Cool... I am loving it.

John... that is some awesome work you have done with the front suspension. It is looking great. Nice Job Brother!! You are sure putting your minions to work now aren't you. I am going to have to steal one away one of these days...

Dave... It is great to see you back on this build my friend. I am really liking how you are doing your Jig... Its giving me ideas for when I decided to do up a Dragster chassis. Looking forward to more and hope all is well. Talk to you soon.

John... Hey buddy... man that body is looking great. You are making some killer progress and man does it look nice. You are a Rock Star!!! I sure love your work man!!

John... You are killing it buddy... That is looking great and in no time at all. I am already for another update.... I can't wait until you get some paint on this bad boy. Its going to be freaking awesome. You are one of the Master Builders!!!

Hey Brother.... its great to see that you finally got all of your stuff to start this build. I know will knock this one out of the park like all of your other builds. I think that you will be done with this one in 2 weeks and onto your next build . I will be waiting for your next update. I know it will be killer.

Hey Joe... I believe i owe you some pics... I totally spaced uploading them for you. I will have to tonight. Hopefully the pics can help with some of the details.

This is totally cool. I have been wanting to do one in 1/16th scale. I may just have to pick up one of those rasberry pi's for $5.00 and try to mess around with one of them
