Great job so far.Cant wait till it's done.But just FYI,I found this resin hood on Lex's resin hoods.Maybe it can help u out. I had run across that post too but at that point I was already knee deep in building mine but good looking out!
NYLIBUD Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 I Gotcha,well you definitely have done a nice job on your cowl hood.

Buffs Fan Posted January 16, 2018 Author Posted January 16, 2018 OK I have been having a hard time recovering from my recent trip to the dentist but I was able to sit at the bench a little this evening and I started pluming the first side of the intake for nitrous I started by drilling out styrene rod to accept the fogger lines which I bent and glued into the intake. Then I drilled the top of the solenoid to run the power and ground wires. Thank you for looking and any and all comments, suggestions or critiques are welcome
Buffs Fan Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 I was only able to get a few hours in today but I was able to get my fuel injector rails ran and plumbed I made the anodized fittings and ran the fuel return lines also I got the first set of nitrous lines plumbed to the solenoids
Buffs Fan Posted January 21, 2018 Author Posted January 21, 2018 Ok one step closer to being done on my intake today I got the twin throttle bodies mounted and I also built and mounted the fuel regulator and mounted the throttle linkage
Buffs Fan Posted January 24, 2018 Author Posted January 24, 2018 So I finished the intake tonight by adding the second set of nitrous solenoids wiring and plumbing them thanks for looking

Buffs Fan Posted January 29, 2018 Author Posted January 29, 2018 OK so this weekend I tackled the remote oil filter system I started by utilizing a spare carb from the parts box
Buffs Fan Posted January 29, 2018 Author Posted January 29, 2018 I then trimmed it and sanded it down a little next I plumed my AN fittings into the remote oil filter block as well as the reserve tank that was part of the kit that I donated to the cause next I added the oil filter and a small decal
Buffs Fan Posted January 29, 2018 Author Posted January 29, 2018 Next I ran my oil lines and finished it off by painting the fittings Thank you for looking and please enjoy as usual any comments, suggestions or critiques are welcome
Buffs Fan Posted February 7, 2018 Author Posted February 7, 2018 Its been kinda slow going as of late but I did get a little work in the last few days. I started by getting the inner cage painted
Buffs Fan Posted February 7, 2018 Author Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Next I mounted the seat and steering wheel complete with a trans brake button and I added the Pro comp tach and wired it Please enjoy and hopefully I will be able to make some real progress soon Edited February 7, 2018 by Buffs Fan forgot to add a line of text
Buffs Fan Posted February 9, 2018 Author Posted February 9, 2018 Ok I made some headway today after work I got the chassis painted and detailed but I broke one of the tubes so I will be fixing that soon
Buffs Fan Posted February 9, 2018 Author Posted February 9, 2018 And I finally finished the motor other than a few small paint touch ups please enjoy and all comments, suggestions or critiques are welcome Thank you for looking

Buffs Fan Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 i was able to make a little more progress this weekend on the Mini Street Beast I was able to finish the chassis/cage and I finally mounted the motor for the last time
Buffs Fan Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 Next I scratch built a fuel cell and mounted it I still have to run the fuel line
Buffs Fan Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 And then just for fun I put the body on the chassis just to get a feel for where I am at (The rear axle is not done yet) Enjoy!
Geno Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Mike, this is looking sweet. I'm diggin' it. I'm gathering the stuff to build The Crow out of diecast. I have the black body from a GMP '71 Judge and the nose from a GMP '70 ready to join together. I'm looking for a good starting point for the chassis. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks and keep it rollin', Blessings, Geno. Edited February 25, 2018 by Geno

Thanks and keep it rollin', Blessings, Geno. Geno, That will be a sick build and I will be watching it for sure! As for the chassis I have scratch built a few using styrene rod and then used an old pro mod chassis as a template and they were OK for this build I used a combo of 2 different chassis one from the Revell 55 Pro mod and also bits from the Revell Match racer firebird. And tbh I dont know enough about diecast to tell you if the styrene chassis will support the extra weight so maybe brass rod might be the way to go there and thats waaaay out of my skill set! Thank you for looking and the kind words
Geno Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Mike, you are welcome, I love the show and the cars. Thanks for the info as well, at least I have a good starting point lol. Keep us updated, I'm diggin' your build.
