Badluck 13 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Romell,I am sure enjoying seeing the build on your 1:1 Chevelle,but when are you gonna show us your work on the model?!?!?!?!? after all this is a model forums .........Just kiddin' ,this model errr uhh "Work of Art" just blows me away everytime theres an update!!!!!,I can only imagine how the 1:1's gonna turn out.....you are truly a "Master" of model builders and without the "I'm better than everbody else" Attitude,you seem to always have something positive to say on others members builds....
crazymike179011 Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 your model is amazing and your 1:1 car as well.i got on this board almost a year ago i believe and cant believe all the talent here but by far you are totaly amazing how you build and the detail as well.love the chevelle my favorite car.im building a el camino and a monte ss.im starting a club on facebook my son wanted it its called {Empty Pockets Customs}if interested at all.my son loves your car he comes everyweekend and has to check it out he builds now he is 11.cant wait to see this one and the nova you have also.
Romell R Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Thx fellas for all your sincere compliments and I really dont consider myself any better than the rest of you, We are artist and we all have our own style of building and each of us excell at something different. I believe that we all have something we can contribute to this great hobby that we share in. And that is how we get better at what we do. Edited July 22, 2010 by Aftashox
Terry Sumner Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Romell, Just curious on your technique for bending the brass tube. It doesn't appear that you've annealed the brass first as I see no evidence of heat applied. Or did you polish the brass after heating/annealing. And if you didn't anneal the brass, how well or should I say hard, did the tubing bend in such a small radius?

Hey terry Im glad you asked .....I use a tube bender (which I purchased from My LHS)made just for bending 1/8 tubbing (which is perfect for 3'pipe) I find if you use a 1/8 tube with the right thickness and you proceed slowly you can get a good bend without having to heat the brass. And the bender makes it simple to bend not hard at all. Thx for your question Terry and I hope this helps you. tube bender
Cesar Bossolani Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Man you are doing a amazing job!!! I don't saw these updates on SAM Forum bro!!! Keep it up!!! Cesar Bossolani
MoparWoman Jamie Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) Man you are doing a amazing job!!! I don't saw these updates on SAM Forum bro!!! Keep it up!!! Cesar Bossolani LOL, I can't speak for Romell, but LOL I think me and him both have a issue with the editor over there as in why we don't hardly post to often over there. I ran into Romell over there afew years back on his truck build he was doing and became friends with him and trying to keep up on his builds when I can. He has tought me afew things sense I known him online.. and that is if you can think it and image it, you can build it I been thinking recently about returning to SAM forum myself, I haven't posted over there in like over a year and half now I think. I notice his thread over there did stop aways back on his build of this model over there. Keep up the good work bro! I'm always watching evening though I don't reply that much.

Cesar Bossolani Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) A M A Z I N G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Romell do you have a lathe?? Where did you get these tierods and pulleys brother?? Cesar Edited July 22, 2010 by Cesar Bossolani
crazyjim Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Romell - this has got to be the greatest model ever built. AMAZING build!!!!
Romell R Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 Looking good, Romell! I'm surprised though, no working U joints!?!? By the way, why does the one muffler look like it has a white discoloration on it? I didnt need(really I got to lazy to make em) the working U-joints my friend but I am about to dry brush the u-joints and no one will know the difference. And what looks like a white discoloration is actually a patch job that I still have to add a black wash to so it will blend in.
MoparWoman Jamie Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Looking good, Romell! I'm surprised though, no working U joints!?!? By the way, why does the one muffler look like it has a white discoloration on it? Don't give him no idea man! LOL, he can pull it off easy I bet.
Romell R Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 A M A Z I N G !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Romell do you have a lathe?? Where did you get these tierods and pulleys brother??
