  1. The rear end and wheelie bar assembly look great Wayne, Also good to hear that you will try to get TEM going again down the road.
  2. Excellent work as usual Chris, I'm learning alot of detail work i can apply to my build.
  3. Dave, I did the 45's, I wish i could have went bigger on the exit for the collector but i couldn't with out taking away the radius detail, once the other pipe is done and hooked to the turbo it will look much better. Thx. for the compliment. Thx. to everybody else also for the feedback, Ted thx. for the link i was looking for a place to buy that stuff from, you also have a PM.
  4. Thx. for the kind words Jim, Sounds good on the struts, i also changed out the spindle to brass rod and threaded the end of that so it was a little beefier. Plus it made it easier for me to thread the cap on.
  5. Another stellar promod build, Loving all these door car builds. Super clean work as usual Dave.
  6. Thx. for the positive feedback guys. The collector is done and i think it turned out good for my first attempt, Once my order gets here i can make my connection to the turbo which will sit where it was before or under the header. Then comes the daunting task of doing the other side to match, I did make some templates of the bends on paper to help. Once the other side is done i will finish cleaning them up and get a coat of primer on them, I would like to thank Dave(comp1839) for getting me heading in the right direction for doing the headers and especially the collector, with out that help i would probably be pulling out what's left of my hair lol. Let me know what you guys think good and bad.
  7. Nice work on that body Brett, really like that paint.
  8. Nice work, Has a great stance.
  9. Mockup Looks great Rom, Really digging that engine.
  10. Clay i didn't take notice if you said or not, This going to be a blower car?
  11. Thx. Bart, I have 1 header complete to the point of doing the collector. Once i get my order from plastruct i can start on the collector, I have a couple ideas how to do them, will see how that turns out. Going to start on the other header tommarrow, Let me know what you think so far. The 2 front cylinders are 1 piece, the back two are 4 pieces each. I made some 90 deg. bends and tried to build them like you would real headers, I wanna try to add some weld to them also with either putty or some photoetched weld strips. The joints still need some finishing and the collector are will be cut back some. I built them out of 5/32" rod, The last picture you can see the comparison to my plain looking 1/8" headers i originally made.
  12. Shocks are looking good tyrone.
  13. Weathering looks great, nice detail.
  14. Turned out amazing Ken, awesome work buddy.
  15. Thx. for the feedback guys, I planned on 1 throttle body and 1 set of injectors. Gonna get back on the headers and get that sorted out first then make a bit larger top.
  16. WOW is all i can say, amazing work and taking notes for my next build.
  17. Thx. Guys, staying with the turbos no worries. After a couple failed attempts i have the motor plate done, The white you see between the center bolt holes is styrene rod i used to hold the plate to the block and make it strong. I will touch them up with some aluminum paint unless i paint the whole plate, All the other holes will get RB motion hardware. This evening i will get the bench cleaned up and start on new headers and with any luck will have some updates. Need some opinions on the upper intake, Does it look to small for the engine? looking for some opinions.
  18. Awesome work Chris, Great tool idea. Definitely going to make a couple of those, I used to use something like that on my RC cars to drill the links. Never dawned on me to use it in modeling.
  19. Looks great Darryl, Love seeing your builds.
  20. 4-link looks great Tyrone.
  21. Nice work Chris, Really digging the gaskets, Especially the copper head gaskets. Your giving me to many ideas lol.
