Excellent photos. Thanks for posting. My grandson and I were at NNL East yesterday and had a great time.

Excellent work so far. Looking forward to updates.

Just read this one. Looks great and can't wait to see more.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate your comments. I used a couple of photoetch linkage pieces for cable stops on the fuel pumps. Just made a 90 degree bend on them. I hope to get the headers on tonight. Then the remaining fuel lines, etc. I want to add the vent pipe that comes off the bell housing, but I need to mock up the wheelie bars to make sure two things are not trying to occupy the same space. Who can tell me about the electronics box attached to the header sensors? Does it attach to the frame? I appreciate any help.

That would be great to see built into a complete car. But how about that Oakley car? Is it diecast or styrene?

So how about packing it up and bringing it to NJ saturday to the NNL? I know a guy who knows a guy with a biplane in fair shape that is willing to fly you up here. You might want to wear that blue helmet and goggles.

One side panel is on, fuel pump cables, fuel pumps, and shifter. More fuel lines need to be added. Hopefully I will have the other header done tonight and both glued on. The rear wheels are on temporarily for the photos. Thanks for looking.

A few update photos........

Looks great. Looking forward to more.

SUPERB. I love it.

Looks great Niko. The straps painted on the fuel tank show you have a very steady hand.

The Mad Science FC looks great. Is that a kit or did you use aftermarket decals? Also can't wait to see what you do with that monster body of a Firebird FC. Who made the body?

Brett's right. I can only speak for myself, but I'm sure plenty of us take in what you do and try to apply these techniques to our builds. I have learned to study photos of the 1:1 cars to better replicate the real thing in small scale, but I have a lot to learn.

Chris - after seeing your work on the supports of the Vega FC, I think I'll send this to you to finish.

"not much to look at" he says.................c'mon, it's beautiful.

Looks awesome. I love it.

Beautiful. Beautiful.

A great job. Really nice clean finish.

Thanks Niko. I appreciate that. I always enjoy following your builds. Last night I got the fuel pumps on, the bell housing shroud, and started adding the fuel pumps' control cables. I'll post pics later.

Awesome work Chris. Also can't wait to see your shift knob/avatar painted.

Send me a case of that, too.

Everything looks great Niko. Good choice getting four pair of tires, your friend did a good casting job.

Excellent work Roger. Looking forward to more.

You're right Bill, it's exciting seeing it come together and knowing that the next project can be better based on what I've learned. Thanks John, but actually it's 1/4 scale and then shrunk in the microwave. HA. Ted before I put those wires on I double-checked my photos to make sure. Those tiny RB Motion nuts are very easy to lose. Thanks guys for the encouragement.

The paint and decals look awesome John. Inspiring.
