Here are the completed pics. of my fuel altered. The wheelie bar is scratchbuilt out of aluminum tubing with added netting created using painted masking tape. The build has every possible wiring I could think of to be added.

Excellent build. Very clean engine detail. The front wing looks perfect. Great job.

Better late than never. Here is a link to the pictures from this past weekends NNL in Portland. Another awesome show with over 250 top quality models on display. Over 30 vendors in attendance as well. http://public.fotki.com/1320wayne/model_sh...pacific-northw/

Andy, I am working on the same project and the chassis that I am using for a full detail Omni is out of the Revell Chevy Beretta pro street kit. It needs some minor adjustments to make it look more accurate but it fits right under the body perfectly. The wheelbase is spot on.

Very nice builds. I especially like the Ronnie Sox car.

I have updated pics. of the prgress on this one. I moved the info. over to the new Drag Racing section of the forum. If you are interested check it out there.

Here are some new pics. Engine detail is well underway. I have added the plug wires, fuel lines, oil dump tubes, resin cast a/n fittings, etc.. I have also scratchbuilt the magneto and cast a couple of ignition boxes and wired them as well. The compute box is set for additional wiring. There is also a toggle switch on the side of the computer box for turning the sytem on and off as well as the download plug. Although it's hard to see there is also the linkage on the front of the fuel pump for the fuel shut off. Many more details to come like all of the wiring for all of the different engine sensors, blower hold down straps, throttle linkage and cable as well as all of the drivers compartment detail. Stay tuned.

Excellent job.

Yes, I did cut out the hatch and hinge it. It's actually an easily added detail.

To fix the ride height all you need to do is to cut down the rear springs to your desired length. Probably no more than 1/16" and the front suspension could use the same treatment by cutting off the front spindles and raising them about 1/16" to lower the front as well.

Awesome detail. A superb build from every angle.

Wow!!!!!!!! That looks great. I can't wait to see what this one will look like when it's finished.

Excellent build. The detail looks great.

I found this one picture. I know that it is a diecast but if it's accurate (and I have no reason to think that it's not) then at least I now know what the roof and hood look like.

Here are a couple of pictures of the Ron Capps 97 Copenhagen Camaro funny car. The body is a resin piece from Comp. resins and the decals are a combination of Slixx and aftermarket. The body features an opening roof hatch and the chassis and engine has full detail.

Looks good.

Looks like you are more prepared than I could have imagined. That is an impressive list. Please keep us updated with your progress. By the way, in your available research, would you happen to have any color shots of the 71 Roadrunner? All I have is a couple of small black and whites. I can see from those that the paint scheme is pretty simple and follows some of the other cars but I would love to have something in color to go by. Thanks.

Andy, this is an impressive task ahead of you. What does your list look like, aside from what you have shown already? I am currently working on the same type of task. To date I only have the 65 altered wheelbase car done. But I am working on the Omni as well as having gathered all of the kits and parts for two Colts, a 70 Cuda, 68 Cuda, 72 Duster and a 71 Roadrunner. Here is a pic. of one of the Colts that I intend to do You said that you have plenty of research. If there is anything that you are missing then please check out the Sox & Martin album that I created in my Fotki albums. I have over 130 photos in there. The link is below. http://public.fotki.com/1320wayne/model_re...sox-and-martin/

That color combination looks great. This is sure to be a head turner when it's done.

Great work on both. I really like the fact that you painted all of the graphics on the McDonalds car.

Very nice build. The engine detail looks great. I really like the blower belt idea. Always looking for new and improved techniques for reproducing engine details.

All your stuff looks great, especially the cool altered wheelbase Edsel.

Excellent build. It takes some work to make that kit look that good.

Here are some further pictures of my progress on my latest project. The engine is now ready for some intense detailing to include ignition wiring, fuel lines, oil lines and all on-board electronics as well as linkages. Front brake detail The decals honor the recent passing of funny car driver Eric Medlen. Stay tuned for further updates within the next few days.
