1/16 AA/FD Business Coupe1/16 FED

Starting a new build from a glue bomb chassis and parts box.  Decided to go with a Donovan 417 instead of a 392 iron block or 426.  Will be fun.

This should be good. I've got my popcorn and am in the front row. Let the show begin.

In spite of the fact there is a mix-master right where the family jewels are, I like FEDs.

Subbed, looking forward to this!

Tim... Its great to see another 1/16th scale build here. I am looking forward to seeing this one come together.

[Greg Myers]

Love to see those kits come back.

Sorry everyone, haven’t had much workbench time lately.  Welcomed a new granddaughter (that makes 3) and been traveling to see them all.   Should get back next week with some updates.  Have decided on duplicateing “The Royal Canadian” AA/FD with a steel 392 instead of the Donovan.  Will still use the Aurora engines with some minor mods.

While I am watching this build, I keep eyeing that Hess transporter in the background too! Maybe I need to dig out all of my Aurora 1/16th scale kits now and get busy with some of them.

Finally got some bench time in....cleaning up the chassis and adding some new pieces to match the original.

Got some bench time these past few weeks on the Royal Canadian Dragster.  Chassis has been modified and painted metallic burgundy - started constructing a new fuel tank - chromed the rear end and seat - working on the Aurora 392 engine.  Slow but making progress.

Its progressing very nicely Tim. I'm right here in the front row.
