  2. Tim.... This is freaking amazing my friend. WOW!, I am speechless. Before I even saw John's post I thought to myself, This would be so cool if it was just cleared. This Chassis is a true piece of Art my friend. Puts the funny car to Shame 100% and I love it. I can't wait to play with a Brass Chassis myself. Your work is definitely inspiring. You make it look so easy, when I know it really isn't. Keep up the awesome work

  15. Chris... nice job on this. It turned out Killer and looks great.
  16. Wayne... Thank you very much, I never though about using a block of wood with some nails. That's a great tip, Thanks. I found when I was trying to use a Lighter that the rod and tube would get to certain point and basically melt it so that's when I decided to give the hair drier a try and it seemed to work pretty good. Mike... I just glued the roll cage to the chassis with Weld on #3. So the rear hoop on the chassis that I added that the seat butts up against I actually drilled a .020" dia hole and added a .020" dia brass pin. I glued that hoop first and then I made the main bar for the cage then the back bar. I glued those in place before I decided to add the little flat bar for the head restraint. After I let the Weld on #3 dry I went back around each join with some Zap a Gap CA glue.
  17. Holy Smokes Johnny Boy... You sure have been a busy bee on this sweet build. That motor and Trans is Looking great and coming along nicely. nice Job on the Compressor and air tank for the air Ride. Can't wait to see what you do next on this bad boy.
  18. Thanks Clay.... I need to do a little more cleaning up and then it will be ready for paint. Hopefully it eint take much. Maybe I will get lucky and be able to get some paint on it this weekend
  19. Bob... Thank you Very much. Bernard... Believe it or not I actually used a hair Dryer to heat the tube up and I used various Items to wrap the tubing/Rod around to get the shape I was wanting. I tried a lighter at first to heat it and had major failure doing that...lol
  20. Hello Fellas... I think it is time for an update. I have done a little more work to the Goose's Chassis. I wasn't 100% happy with the kit roll bar and didn't like that one of the chassis tubes was molded into the rear seat. So I decided that changer her up just a tad. She isn't perfect but good enough for me, I still need to clean the joints up and hopefully be ready for paint after that. Here are a few pics.... Here I just used some Evergreen Styrene Rod to make my parts: Next I was able to shoot some Tamiya primer on it to see how much more I need to fix the joints.... and I learned it needs a lot of work...lol:
  21. Fantastic work John... the interior is looking great so far. I can't wait to see that engine come to life with your Teresi touch.
  22. Looking Good Johnny Boy!!! You are making some great strides with this build and its looking awesome. Looks like you hit a home run with the Engine Bay. Keep up the killer work!!
  23. Lee... Thank you. I know this is not a normal way to build a model but with all of the issues I had with the funny car with things not lining up properly or having to go back and redo things multiple times. I am hoping that this will allow me to get things lined up properly from the beginning and will make the build go faster. There is a little design time up front but it should save alot of headaches down the road . Mike... I am lucky in that I use Solidworks at work and have a laptop that I can take home.
  24. Dave... Thank you so much my friend. I can't tell you how happy I am to finally call it done...
