I will definitely follow your build. I always liked the IROC cars. I have a Firebird version started. Keep us posted.

That looks SO good Bill. I'll take two.

I remember you mentioning before that you have drag racing over there. That's awesome. There is nothing like it to be there in person. Unfortunately most of the time I have to watch it on tv.

Looks really good. I like the theme.

Looks great.

I have no problems loading pics directly from my pc. No photo hosting site. They are all jpg format, 72 dpi, 8x10 inches. I click on the "More Reply Options" button in the lower right corner of the reply window. Good luck.

Looking really good. I love the paint color and I vote for the ground effects that you first posted. Makes it look even more aggressive.

John - looking for more Shark mouth feeding frenzy !

Bart- looking forward to the results of your new talents and efforts.

Thanks Bill and Tyrone, especially coming from talented builders like you guys. I will try your method Bill.

Brad and Danno - we're all jealous that you got to see this build in person.

I have struggled with braided line and fittings and think I have found a good way to thread the line into the fitting. I have not researched this much, so probably some of you have good methods of doing the same and have already shared this. I took a scrap piece of styrene sheet, drilled a hole through it that matches the bore of the fitting and then used a larger bit to create a counter bore or funnel shape. Then I lined up the holes of the sheet and the fitting and glued the fitting in place with white glue, let it dry and then was able to thread the line through the fitting. Now I can pull the fitting off the sheet, clean off the glue and continue working. Please share better ideas with me as I have not used braided line a lot. Thanks for looking.

You're right Joe. Amazing results.

Great build so far. What tires/wheels are they?

That looks great Chris. Can't wait to see the whole rear assembled. Looks really good.

Looks really good. I'll have to get one of those Trumpeter saws.

Mallory decals courtesy of Mooneyzs. The little things really help. Thanks for checking it out and your support.

Niko- thanks for your comments. I always look forward to your builds. Bill - thanks. I learn from all of you. Your work is outstanding. Chris - I got the decals today. They will go on tonight. I appreciate it. Jim - thanks. Your products help us achieve our goals. I will be ordering more in the future. I look forward to learning more from you guys. Your successes and mistakes help all of us improve.

Wayne that is awesome looking. Dave - please keep us posted on what you find and build.

I don't see any reason to remake the manifold Niko. It looks fine.

Thanks John. I just wish the ribs were a little smaller. But hey, it was free. How is sunny California? It was 41 degrees here the other morning.

Great start. I have two different C5R builds started. In fact I think all my kits are started, only a couple finished. Looking forward to more of yours.

Here is the belt I made from a drive belt I rescued from an epson printer headed to the trash. Not all of the belt has ribs on it. Most of the belt is smooth, so it will come in real handy. I need to add a very small piece to fill the gap at the bottom. Thanks for looking.

Another terrific build Mr Teresi.

I vote for the blue & white, too.
