Nitrozilla Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I'm going to cheat and take 2 guesses. I'm old, so it's okay. Can't remember if you started on either the wheelie bars or the body prop. If I'm right, then you get 2 choices. You can give me a cookie or a brownie.
gasser59 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) "Me...me. Pick me." In an Arnold Horshak voice. Thanks for joining me yesterday Chris. We took a tour of the local TechShop facility in downtown Chandler. That place was awesome, a bit pricey, but still awesome. Edited March 3, 2014 by gasser59
Mooneyzs Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Joe... you are very close my friend. I do have to say thank you for the reminder that you reminder on the body prop. was planning on making one. I think I will mabe make it along with this stuff too. Brad... thank you for asking if I wanted to check that place out. Like you said was a very cool place but little more than I would like to pay to use their facility. My problem is that i dont known if I would use it enough to get my money's worth...lol
Davewilly Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Chris....The vents turned out great my friend...all the fussing and fixing paid off....cant wait to see the next item up for your attention to go with this build!
Mooneyzs Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Stuart... Thank you for the kind words Dave... Thank you my friend. I couldn't agree with you more on how the vents turned out after I got more body work done on them and another coat of primer I couldn't be happier. All of the extra work was worth it with the look I got with them. I hunk I have some cool stuff coming up next
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Nice job on the vents. Its making sure everything is right makes the difference between a good model and great model such as this one. Looking forward to seeing more.
cobraman Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Outstanding work to be sure, I just hope since I am 62 that I will see it finished before they throw dirt in my face. : )
Cubeman Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Outstanding work to be sure, I just hope since I am 62 that I will see it finished before they throw dirt in my face. : )
Mooneyzs Posted March 4, 2014 Author Posted March 4, 2014 Bob... thank you my friend. You are right about making each little piece correct. Taking that extra time up front makes a world of difference. I have been teying to aplroach little sub assemblies as if they were their own little model. Ray... lol you crack me up. I have plans of having this completed by summer time or somewhere during the summer. With that being said. This build will be completed this year
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Chris, would like to see you take this to GSL next year. It should do well and be appreciated.
Mooneyzs Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 Bob... thank you for thinking this build could be GSL worthy. I have plans of taking it there in 2015. Its one of the shows that I have always wanted to go to and experience at least once.
Mooneyzs Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) Well I wanted to show another sneak peak on a little bit of a side project but it essentially is part of this project. Anyway I have made a little progress getting most of the parts cut out. Still have more to cut and make. But here is a quick shot of it so far. What will all this brass turn into..... : Edited March 5, 2014 by Mooneyzs
jasoncamaro Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Pro jacks? To display the car on?. I love the detail you have done on this ive just started my 1/16 front engine dragster project will start a topic next few days but its inspired by yours and Johns insane talents
Nitrozilla Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Third guess is a charm. Rear traction bars / ladders. Or steering linkage from steering wheel to front steering. Or a jig. Possibly a thinga ma jig. Does it have anything to do with building stuff?
Mooneyzs Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 Jason... you are really close my friend thank you on the kind comments. I can't wait to see your 1/16th scale build you have started you definitely need to start a topic on it. It's great to see more 1/16th scale builds on here. Its my new favorite scale. Joe... you are really close with the thing-a-ma-jig . I will say it is something used in the pits. I know I have kept everyone in suspense probably long enough on what all those brass pieces will be used for. I will keep you in suspence a little longer and will post a few pics of what I am making when I get home from work.

I'm pretty sure I can hang on that long. Looking forward to it. Are you by any chance going to be at the show in April ?
slusher Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Amazing detail on this build. Looking forward to more..
Danno Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Ray, Chris told me: "Danno... You know it buddy, It will be at the Desert Scale Classis finished or not and sitting on the display/project table for sure. I am hoping to have the body in primer and possibly more of the engine done as well. Or pretty much what I can get done in the next 6 weeks...lol :lol:" I'm holding him to it. ~Dan~
John Pol Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 great job so far Chris what do you use to cut your brass with?
Mooneyzs Posted March 5, 2014 Author Posted March 5, 2014 Ray... Yep it will be finished this year. I will be at the Desert Scale Classic, I wouldn't miss it. This build will be there too. Carl... Thank you for the kind words. Michael... I am hoping to have it done by mid to end of summer. Danno... You are right. It will be there. gotta keep my promise. John... Thank you. I cut all of this with a razor saw and miter box. I also cut my brass with my Drexel at times but didn't use it on these items.
Mooneyzs Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Hey Guys.... I know I was supposed to post some pics yesterday and I slacked at it. I got tied up with some other things and I also had a mishap when I was working with some of the parts... I broke .020" drill bit and had to get another one... Anyway Here are a few pics of what I promised yesterday about showing you what this little somewhat secret side build I decided to do to give me a break from those air dams. this little side project was something I was planning on build at some point. Any way here is what I looks like so far. Keep in mind what you see is it just mocked up sitting together with no solder or glue, just a couple of pieces of Tape....... any guess's...lol You Guess it is a body Cart that will be used when it is displayed. It will look somewhat like this when done: Edited March 7, 2014 by Mooneyzs
John Teresi Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Oh Ya……..that`s what I`m talking about…….NICE!!!!!
