Nice workmanship so far but are you ready for some questions and critiquing?

Never mind, build for fun. I'll avoid the tips and critique. You can learn as you go.

 

(For those following this thread and being confused, I had offered a list of suggestions in this post but deleted them because it was a bit much and was probably interpreted as insulting.

Many of you know that I often offer advice based on my experience with drag cars. Sometimes it's appreciated, sometimes it's not.}

Wasnt going for 100 realism if was i would have done that ,just building it the way i want to for fun ,after all its not a real car,dont take the hobby to,seriously key word hobby ,not real life stuff .thanks

[Metaldrumm]

Also ur wrong about fuelpumps being under the hood, get ur facts straight, thanks anywa

Electric fuel pumps on race cars are almost always mounted in the rear because they are designed to push fuel and not pull it.

Please don't try to school me on race cars. I've raced since 1971 in brackets, Stock, Super Street, Super Gas, and Modified Production and have built my fair share of drag cars. I am also a certified Bronze level, NHRA tech inspector since 1998.

Currently a manager and announcer at an east coast National event track. If I offer advice, I do it to help those that want to learn.

Want to go toe to toe with me on race car facts and construction?

Care to list your drag racing credentials?

Do u have brain damage,these r models now leave it alone. U dont know anything about me or what i know or dont know nobody gives a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH about ur crudentials ,this a positive forum for model builders.If i wanted help i would ask ,theres is a thing called a brain and plenty of reference material out there.

[progplastic]

guys, play nice. this supposed to be for fun...

 

[6bblbird]

I promise that I will never try to help you again!  Good advice is available here if you want it. Tons of extremely talented and knowledgeable builders. If you only want people to say "Nice build!" you'll get plenty of that too.

I came off as a jerk. I apologize.
