  1. Thanks fellas... I made one of my electronics board and started on some of the electronics... I also added some bolt head detail to water pump and added pulley and belt for oil pump...
  2. Thanks Chris... I started with coarse, and worked my way down from there... I'll hit them with some dullcote later... the seat harness kit is from detail master... and thank you buddy... It means alot...
  3. Thanks alot fellas.... got the rear slicks sidewalls sanded to give them a more rounded look... I also got the seat harness done...
  4. Looks Awesome... you did a bang up job on this one... I enjoyed watching this build.. and learned a few things along the way...
  5. Thanks fellas... I really appreciate it...
  6. got a small update for tonight.. I got the balancer, crank trigger, and water pump installed... I also got the seat covered... will make seat harness next... thanks for looking and comments welcome.... I'm going to re-do the valve covers.... think I can do a better job..
  7. I know what you mean Allen... I'm getting down to my last few sets of big chief heads too.. I have some of the 57 chevy engines with the moroso logo on them...
  8. Looking good... keep it coming....
  9. Allen... I've been using the engines from the pro sportsman 55 chevy kits... they have the pontiac "big chief" style heads... I take my dremel tool and grind them down until the pontiac engraved in them is gone.. the breather hole is filled with a piece of .062 rod, and then I sand and reshape them...
  10. here's a few more... I'll make the water pump tomorrow.... I've also added dzus fasteners to the bottom of the chassis I added PE washers and bolt head detail to the upper strut mounts...and modified the pontiac valve covers.. I ground them down with a dremel tool until the pontiac was gone.. filled in the breather hole with .062 rod... sanded them and painted with alclad...
  11. Thanks alot for the kind words fellas... I really appreciate it... I was able to get a little time in today on this one... I got the racepack dash installed... I added some flocking for the floor mats... I'm still trying to get the hang of this alclad .. I painted the pedals with it... I also got some work done on the engine.... I used the kit engine plate.. I ground down the cast water pump and timing cover.. and made up a pulley from sheet styrene..
  12. I see you Ernest...lol... you're getting better at it... great job....

  16. x 100... you've got a nice stash going... nice Nova, is there a thread for that one on here???
  17. Looking good Scott... you've got me wanting to re-do my wheelie bars now...lol..
  18. sitting on all fours...
  19. Thanks for the comments fellas.. I really appreciate... Ernest I use .062 rod to make my wheelie bars,.. as far as cost... the wheels will run you about 45/50 bucks for a set and the aftermaket stuff can get to be expensive like Hakan was saying... but if you want that extra detail its the way to go... there are'nt but so many combinations of wheels out there and the wheels Jim makes are top shelf.... I got the brake lines all plumbed up today... I'll paint the fittings later... I removed the brake lines and cables that were molded on the chassis so I could add my own..
