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.

I got some more work done that includes a clutch pedal, engine installed, oil lines attached, wires from coils to magnetos and some detail painting. Thanks for looking.

I'll try doubling them up. If I try scratch building something that small, it will end up looking like I used a chainsaw. I am making progress but don't think it will be done for the NNL East.

Excellent job. What scale are they?

Love the Mickey Thompson funny car.

Looks great Chris. Keep it going.

Tyrone - excellent job and I really like the color scheme.

Excellent progress John. Wish I could see them in person.

Looks awesome Chris. I'm sure you feel really good about this chapter being done.

Also had to shorten the section that attaches the pumps to the front of the engine because of a conflict with the oil filters. I don't know a lot about photoetch, but is it possible to create thicker pieces for linkage so it looks more realistic? Thanks for looking.

Got some linkage detail on today. And got the right side barrel valve on.

They look great John. Are the connectors/brackets that connect the blower scoop to the barrel valve pieces that you built? I assume they didn't come with the kit, and I see they are not photoetch since the rod that connects them is round and not flat. Looks excellent. And I agree with Art - very cool to see both going at once.

I agree with Brad - killer stuff. What paint did you use on the red blocked engine's blower front to make it look like light gold/dirty chrome?

Thanks guys. I hope to have more done tomorrow. Getting tax stuff together tonight. Aaarrgghh.

You're going to have some 1:1 builders calling and offering a job.

I agree with Fastback340 about building with feet compared to your work, only I'm using two left feet........... Keep it comin'.

Detail looks great Mr. Price. Will you be bringing it up to NJ for the NNL ? Glad you're healing up.

Brad- that's a harness made by eduard which is incorrect for the funny car because it's only a 4-belt system instead of 5. I had to add the lower center belt. The belts are actually painted photoetch from the mfg., so the stitching was on when I bought them. They looked so good I put them on the car. They say Sparco on them,too. I don't know when Sparco started making safety harnesses, so they might be period incorrect, too. The paint is easily scratched off, too, so I should have clear-coated them with a clear matte. They are easy to assemble though. They do make a 6-belt set. Part number 24 203. I think I got them on Strada website. Putting Simpson decals on them would be easy, and painting them a different color would be too. Freakintastic - a great new word to describe the work of Bill Davis, John Teresi, Brad, Brett, Dave Sherman, Chris, Tyrone, Romell and all you guys that inspire me.
