Hi Francis, You have no idea how happy I am that I stocked up years ago on T2m, r.b. Motion and others when I did. They’re scarce or non-existent now. Still have enough inventory to finish this build properly though. Cheers, Tim.

very brief update.....tank is done but for the brackets to hold it. cheers, tim

Thank you Steve. cheers, tim

That is just too kool for skool Bob. As soon as I saw your first pic I chuckled out loud it was that good. cheers, tim

You absolutely made the most of that $10. Bob, what a great a job you did on this. cheers, tim

LIN, I'm always amazed at what military modellers can do......your paint and weathering skills really are fantastic and really do justice to the build you completed. Just a fantastic job all the way around. cheers, tim

Thanks Ian for the pics and explanation. I never would have figured that one out on my own but you've got this method down pat. well done! cheers, tim

Welcome Steve and as the others have mentioned, you're off to a good start and look forward to your future posts. cheers, tim

Hi Paul, the new wheels are "crisp".....nicely done and the tires you made look great with color on them now, you've a keen eye for detail. cheers, tim

Francis, I admit it comes with a bit of reluctance to just say, "done"........but if I ever want to get this build done I've got to move on. You're correct though that little bitty parts like this for the detail they have is a bit time consuming. If not for today's phenomenal cameras / pic quality, you'd never notice in a million years, but I'd know (right?!) thanks too! Daniel, too funny but no they weren't in the catalog I assure you. Took a moment from the fuel components and worked on the dry sump tank....still detailing and some additional holes to drill in the tank itself along with a new cap (I dislike the one in the pic) and this will be done......like the fuel pumps, not perfect but I'm moving on with it. Thanks everyone and cheers to each of you, tim

Thanks once more Chris for posting them. The setting you chose for your outdoor pics is perfect as well. Congratulations again. cheers, tim

That is a good question Steve, I'd like to know too & for what it's worth I TOTALLY agree that the car looks so much better and purposeful than today's "hypercars". Just an opinion. Nice start to this one Chris! cheers, tim

Well, they have color on them. They're not perfect but I'm calling them done. I would add that each pump is just shy of 1/4" in overall height as a reference point. The tiniest of nuts that I used on them are from RB motion and are .010" or .27mm in size......btw, iF anyone knows of some mid-70's in-line, spin on FUEL filters I'd love to know who made them. I found a great looking one but only have a single pick and it's from 1973. I could get close to it's appearance but I checked high and low for the date that FRAM introduced their HPG-1 in-line filter but can't find a date........any info would be greatly appreciated. cheers, tim

Hey Ian, I like the legos btw......seriously though, here's a question for you, what is the jig that you're using that you referenced above? I'm always curious to see what others are doing. The frame looks great too! cheers, tim

Quick update this morn. I mocked up the two pumps prior to painting the upper half of the bodies blue. You can see in the one pic the difference in the aluminum where the base & lower half of the body were media blasted. The brass brackets were time consuming to make and get right I must admit. After paint I'll assemble and detail with some further nuts & bolts. Next I'll fab a in-line spin on fuel filter and then move to the fuel regulator........Francis is right, I get one thing done and then realize that "oh, I forogt I gotta make so & so too.........Happy Mother's Day to everyone too! cheers, tim This pic you can see the surface difference from the media blasting tough to get some of these pics in focus...........sorry bout' that
