New photo etch stuff I got in. Most of it is 1/16th. There are 1/25th scale trigger wheel sets for five different applications (BBC, SBC, BBF, SBF, and Big Mopar) that I'll post separately. 1/16th chassis tabs and brackets 1/16th upper strut mount gussets 1/16th lever set 1/16th wheelie bar housing kit 1/16th front end mounting brackets 1/16th dragster cockpit controls 1/16th drilled large OD rotors (11.75") I've also got two styles of safety harnesses. I am trial assembling a set of each to see if they go together correctly. Here are pics of them.

Man, oh man, Chris. What a job you're doing... Impressive work, bud!

Are you looking at something that's just a circular plate? If so, do you have 1:1 dimensions that are common to that type of plate? I'd be willing to include something the next time I draw up parts in that thickness.

Cool! As Eric said, the ride height is perfect on your II. I'll keep an eye on this one!

Excellent. There's no comparison between the kit tinwork and yours. Super job, bud... and the headers look outstanding, too.

That's just plain gorgeous...

Super looking pair, Norbert. Very, very nice job. Any engine shots of either one?

You totally nailed it Tyrone. Wow! I don't know what else to say, but I'm sure I'll come up with something when the time comes... LOL I love your side-by-side shot with the '57. Super-cool, man...

Century mark! We're (or at least I'm) making history. Has there been any longer threads than this one? I'm curious...

No pun intended, right? Rivets? pop? LOL PS: I know what you meant...

I continue to be impressed with each new update you post, brother. This is just so out-of-sight...

Phenomenal workmanship, Dave. Waaaay above and beyond...

Cool!!!

That's a very nice build, Norbert. It sets just right and your engine compartment looks great!

Yup, that's the one...

Are you going to be at the show next month? Lord willing, I am planning to be there as a vendor. Hopefully we can meet each other...

This has been very cool to follow along on your progress thus far, Ray. Hand forming metal is something I've always marveled at others being able to do. I'll be checking in to see how things are going...

You're really going to town on this one, Brett. It's looking great! I admire your fab work in brass...

Michael, you didn't miss them. I only had a couple sets of them made initially because I wanted to verify that they would turn out like I wanted (and not waste money) before getting a bunch of them made. I was thinking mostly in regards to the Lenco logo etched into the upper part of the lever. Maybe I would have been wiser to have not even shown pictures of them until I had more on-hand, but I was excited to let folks know there were some new products available for 1/16th. I may end up revising the detent levers, since I'm not sure the ones I made, while accurately replicating the 1:1 pieces, may not fit the transmission as they are designed now.

I will echo Mr. Teresi's comment. It just doesn't get any better than this... BTW, what size rivets are those in your window panels?

Dan - I am planning to go the Heartland Nats. I will let you know where we're staying. Thanks Harry! I appreciate your kind words...

Hey Chris, thanks bro. I have the wheels already. I'm waiting on the housings, which will hopefully be in yet this week. Anthony - they aren't going to be that expensive, so I hope you'll try them out... Thanks Joe. Just let me know when you're ready and I'll try to get stuff on its way to you.

Oops! Totally forgot to reply to that part of your question. Yes, I have two styles of 1/16th safety harness hardware I've got coming. I've got my fingers crossed that everything looks and fits well together. I've attached a similar pic to the other showing the two harnesses.

The wheelie bar housing kit will include the wheels, housing that the wheels fit into and wheelie bar axle that ties the wheels together. It won't include rear end housing brackets or the tubes themselves because there are so many different configurations and lengths to choose from. I've attached a drawing of what the PE pieces will look like.

I've gotta have something ready for you...
