49 Ford Coupe Altered drag car

[Tony Coomer]

Hey everyone. Finally getting around to posting an update on this build. Between working long hours and waiting for my parts from R&B motion to get here it kinda put this build on hold. R&B motions run time has been backed up with orders more than usual but always worth the wait. I received my package a month ago and the only day I had off last week I went to working on finishing the engine. The engine is a Nailhead I grabbed from the revell Tony Nancy 22 jr kit with the bell housing and in&out box. The somewhat correct color for the Nailhead took me forever to find, its MCW 5430 turquoise sky haze blue, it could use a light shade of green tint to be correct but close enough. My next step is to get the engine in the chassis and start buttoning things up to be a roller. More updates coming soon hopefully. Thanks for checking it out…

Thank you for the comment. Those are R&B motion A/N fittings, they are #1521e on the R&B web site and the braided line is on ProTech #ptmc 21 .035 .I used Detail masters A/N fittings for years with great success but once I find these fittings I never looked back, it saves you the hassle of assembling the Detail Master fittings.
