Love it, love it. I always liked the shape of the Stude. Looking forward to more pics and inspiration.

High School ? I think I remember what that was........................back in the 70's.

Thanks Dave. I was just reading your response to my question about nets on wheelie bars. Once you get that coupe on the road, bring it up to Perry county and we'll wake up the cows and chickens!! I'm hoping to make it to Maple Grove for Friday's qualifying. That barrel valve is a challenge. At least the one on the opposite side won't be quite as hard. It won't have as many lines to it.

Brad's right - basket weaving looks real good now. Masterpiece work like a couple other guys have said. Those pulleys look spot on.

Looking good. I need to get one of those 599 GTOs.

Looks great Tyrone. Can't wait to see more.

Ted- Chris is sending me some Mallory decals. They need to be small enough to put on the ignition coils. Thanks anyway. PLEASE DO get back to work on your funny car. Looking forward to more. After looking at the pics I took of Bruce Larson's Sentry Olds, I noticed a couple of frame braces that I wish I'd seen before I started. Oh well. Bill - thanks. The updates took time because of other stuff. We all suffer with that "other stuff" disease. I need to check the progress on your car. Thanks guys for the encouragement. Sidenote- I found an Epson printer at work that they are going to scrap and I cut the drive belt off. It's about a half inch wide and is ribbed. It cuts very clean and I'm making a blower belt for the funny car out of it.

Why do some promod wheelie bars have a net and some don't?

Looking forward to progress too.

WOW. YOU ARE BLOWING US AWAY !! That looks so good John. Looks like a lot of work. I hope the graphics I did do the paint justice.

A couple minor updates. I made my first attempt at making a barrel valve. Got it painted and added some scrap photoetch pieces to the air scoop to hold both valves. I also have the brackets (top and bottom) to hold wheelie bars on. Now to make the wheelie bars like Ted showed in his video. Question to those who know - what is best to attach styrene to photoetch - super glue or epoxy?

Awesome work John. That one is bound to win many trophies.

BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING work.

Superb work. Love it.

BEAUTIFUL. You keep thanking us for looking when we're really staring and studying.

Intake for.......................what did I miss? I've been trying to follow too many builds.

Here's one result to the search............

I believe the 599 GTO will be 1/24. I'll double check.

Thanks Dave. Good references are always appreciated.

Thanks Bill, but how can I get much done with the US Nationals on ESPN2? I have been doing some engine plumbing. Hope to post some updates soon. What are you working on?

Looks great John.

Gorgeous car. Thanks for sharing. I had to watch it more than once.

Awesome work Romell. I guess whenever you have to check for detail accuracy you just go out to the garage to look at the real thing, right? Ha. I'm following your build. Great stuff. I see Revell Germany is coming out with the 599 GTO. I've got to get one.

Absolutely. Send the pics. I'd like to see if they match up to the 7" length (with fittings) that the guy at Enderle told me.

Just a hair over half inch tall and 3/16" wide.
