Adventures in soldering:The GT40 project New pics 2/13/17
GoatGuy replied to Randy D's topic in WIP: Model Cars
It always amazes me that you and the other top builders can fabricate tiny pieces AND connect them so they are parallel, perpendicular, or however they need to be so that they are correct. Wow. -
Henry J Twin Turbo - Didn't see that coming..........
GoatGuy replied to Codi's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
To quote Tony (GT Junior), it is other level engineering. I had the awesome opportunity to see it again in person Tuesday night. WOW. Everything looks bigger online. Hearing Tim explain how he measures and plans each part to replicate the 1:1 part is inspiring. He is dedicated to make each section and part as close to the real part and as close to NHRA specs as he can. And his generosity with time, patience, and knowledge is awesome and appreciated because he spent about 3 hours answering my questions, putting aside his own work to help me. He showed me how to measure and set up a 4 link rear for an upcoming build, he offered to redo my puke tank for a current build, and gave me much advice. Thanks again Tim. -
Wow, Dave. It looks great. But I think one of the lug nuts is off by a millionth of a millimeter. Ha. I hope to go to the show in September (?) in your neck of the woods. Will this car be there? I know, it's a ways off on the calendar. Looking forward to more.

I just got caught up on this build and wish I had the words to describe my amazement that is yelling inside my head.........you're not human are you? You are actually one of the computerbots created by Ironman, right? You are an inspiration. -

Phil Castronovo's Custom Body Mini Charger - complete!
GoatGuy replied to Chris in Berwyn's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
http://s1311.photobucket.com/user/56ChevKRy/media/photos_BU/scale auto art/CustomBodyMinicharger1a_zpswsuihjmt.jpg.html Here is a shot I took of his earlier Charger at Utica-Rome Speedway. Sorry it's so dark. I couldn't find my original prints, scanned the negs but time has damaged the negs. I hope the person that borrowed my prints will eventually return them.- 19 replies

Great results even though sometimes it seems the effort outweighs the outcome. I appreciate your perseverance. -

GoatGuy replied to John Teresi's topic in WIP: Model Cars
John my buddy, I love how you take materials from different sources and make them fit and flow. Looks great. And like everyone has said, the carbs look awesome. I know the total outcome will get you trophies. -
Dave, just got caught up on this amazing build. Beautiful art. I too was rooting for the blown engine, but the Sonny's powerplant will do fine. And what's this about you and Ginger Rogers wearing heels ???

Tim, WOW...............What's next? Nicks on the nuts and bolts to simulate wrench marks? Empty Mobil 1 oil bottles? Dirty shop rags? -
Phil Castronovo's Custom Body Mini Charger - complete!
GoatGuy replied to Chris in Berwyn's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Chris, great job. I grew up about 40 minutes south of Utica and went to the Utica-Rome Speedway a few times to see the drags. The first time I experienced a fuel car was seeing Phil in the earlier Charger go down that 1/8 mile track. I was hooked.- 19 replies

Chris - rushing things can sometimes cost you. In a quality build, it gets done when it gets done. Love the updates. -
Looks really good Niko. Looking forward to more.
