Little update, installed headlight lenses backed with Molotow for realism. I started fitting windows. For the front, I am using the one from 71 Demon kit. For the rear, one from Demon kit will not work due to the extensive mods to trunk/ window area. I filed and sanded one from 71 Duster kit and test fitted with chassis/ interior. I also installed tail lights and back up lenses.

Some more progress, started working on proper stance, scratch built pinion snubber, started wiring battery, added braided hose for nitrous, added decals for battery, fire extinguisher, nitrous bottle, installed monster tach, etc. Note: these are not the wheels that I will be using, still waiting for them.

Lots of progress since I saw it last!  Looking killer!

Thank you. I’ve been trying to move it along recently, but it has fought back a lot. I am still waiting on a couple items ( namely wheels/ tires, fuel pumps). I have too many big scale builds to get on.

Thank you Lenny. Don’t give me any ideas, I might try?. Luckily, I don’t have wiring that small.

Since I busted up anything that could possibly break off while trying to get resin headers to fit chassis, I reshaped the valve covers, added the nitrous, repainted engine. I am custom forming headers from solder and heat shrink now. Edit, headers made, engine mounted in chassis.

Some more under hood details, still have some more lines, wires, linkage and air cleaner to do. Finally got my strip wheels/ tires from 3D Scale Parts shown next to the street ones.

Under hood pretty much wrapped up, I’m thinking about doing some wiring harnesses down the road. I wired starter, solenoid, ground. I ran fuel line from rear to cool can, then to scratch built fuel pressure regulator. I ran braided line from regulator to carb and nitrous system fuel solenoid and from nitrous tank up to nitrous solenoid. Hoses were made from solder and heat shrink. Mopar orange box, Accel Super Coil, cool can and engine/ carb are from VCG Resins
