Thanks guys! Len, great looking build. I might have to go with paint like you and Jeff advised. jasoncamaro, Len's right but I think I will leave it to mocking up models Charlie Pro Tech

This is a Polar Lights Mustang funny car kit that I hope to make into the Blue Max car (as long as the decals lay down over that front hood bulge? If anyone has built this with the white decal stripe for the hood I would love to hear how it went, please respond) I have this in the white glue/mock-up stage now after working out thing like wheelbase adjustment for the Mustang body to get the front wheels somewhat centered in the wheel wells, added sheet plastic to the tin work above the injector hat so it will mate up to back of windshield. etc. etc. Now it’s time to soak this in the warm bucket of water to break it all down and start building the real thing. Thanks for looking! Charlie Pro Tech

Thanks guys, Scott, thank you for sharing the tutorial, great idea, much appreciated! I think I might give this a try but with solid solder and see how that works also, thanks again Charlie Pro Tech

Was wondering if anyone here has come across something that can be used for a gas caps for moon tanks etc. that are on funny cars, gassers etc. the kit pieces are not usually the best looking piece of the kit. I've used photoetched in the past but looking for something with more demension/thickness to it. Thanks to any and all leads. Charlie Pro Tech

Wayne, came out great bud! now that's alot of work!! I really like the pond ripples with the ducks in flight, very cool.... Charlie Pro Tech

Jeff, the finished build looks awesome!! very nice work! bet your glad it's done huh? LOL. Thanks again for using my products on it! Charlie Pro Tech

Shane, Love all the fine detailing/scratchbuilding you've done on this build. I know the amount of work you put into this build and it shows, congrats on a super build. Charlie Pro Tech

Shane, thank you very much, alot of great info! Charlie Pro Tech

I'm in need of some good/accurate reference (old mags ?) of how early funny cars (late 60's - early 70's) ran water lines from their water tanks that usually looked like a second fuel tank. Did they use mechanical pumps, electric pumps etc. Thanks for all you can provide. Charlie Pro Tech

Thanks again guys for the comments, hope to see some of you at a show in the future sometime. Charlie Pro Tech

The front end parts are a combo of Pro Tech hex fittings (PTMC 26), 1/16 K & S alum. tubing, Evergreen 3/32 tube and .035 rod. In the future I will have a complete how-to on this on my website under "Modeling Tips". Thanks for your interest! Charlie Pro Tech

I finished the front end. I scratchbuilt the heim joints and radius rods. Also scratchbuilt a new fuel cell for it. Charlie Pro Tech

Thanks guys, moving along slowly. Got the seat in with my photoetch harness set that I reworked to make more period correct. Charlie Pro Tech

Thanks Guys! it's been a fun (but slooow) build so far. gbk1, the engine is the kit engine with the addition of a (reworked) Parts by Parks intake with injectors from Speed City Resin. I also revised oil filter mount, reworked fuel pump, and scratcbuilt a harmonic balancer. Pro Tech parts used were magneto, plug boots, plug wire for injector lines with my smallest size hex fittings for the fittings and my rubber fuel line for the main fuel feed off the pump. Also added some bolt heads to the front of the pump and front timing cover for further detail. Thanks for your support of my products Charlie Pro Tech

Thanks Val! Here's the latest with plumbing, wiring and weathering done. Later, Charlie Pro Tech

Barbo, I would love to hear more about the Disney show. I will be vending at Modelpalooza (Sat. only) so stop by my table and we'll talk further on it. If anybody else on this board is attending the show stop by and introduce yourself. See you there! Charlie Pro Tech Model Parts

Here's the latest. Tried to replicate shop rags wrapped with duck tape on the breathers as some were run back in the day. Thanks for looking! gbk 1 - parts of mine that were used on the injector set-up are the hex fittings and black spark plug wire. Charlie Pro Tech

Here's something I started awhile back. Started life as the Ramchargers kit that will be built into a early gas dragster with alot of revisions. Thanks for looking! Charlie Pro Tech
