Radici & Wise Funny Car

Thanks Tim,

I've had a lot going on lately, so it's been nice to be back building even for a little bit. I was pretty disappointed in the old chassis color which set me back a bit. While a cool color it wasn't what the real one wore so I set it aside. I really would like to finish this by the end of the year.  Still, lots to do. In fact, I just ordered a bunch of 1:1 scale AN fittings in various sizes, so I can model them up in SolidWorks. (What the hell was I thinking.... HAHA) I need to cad the fuel tank and I think that's it. Sadly, the only kit parts are the severely hacked up body, the bellhousing, oil pan and the brake calipers from the old Aurora FC kit. The rest is all 3d printed or aftermarket lol. I hadn't planned on going this far with it, but one thing has led to another. At this point the last thing is the gas tank as mentioned and everything, but detail bolts and fittings/hoses are done! All that's left to do is build lol. 

Thanks for checking it out!

Printed a dual filter setup. Had to add a bracket to the chassis to mount it and touch up chassis color. Re alcladed the rear end. Machined bolt head pins to hold it to the chassis. Threaded the "studs" into the hub to check fit with the rim. Onto the next portion of this project....

This is really a great build. It's great inspiration. I hope the 3D parts you've created become available after you finish this materpiece.
