Mitch... I haven't had any updates lately, Is why you haven't seen anything new on this. I had a small speed bump and sorta put it aside and actually was looking at ways to fix it last week. Found a solution and hoping to get some bench time in today on this one.

Thanks Chris, I've been lurking/ following this build since about page five, it's definitely been a huge inspiration to help keep me building.  Simply stunning craftmanship, and now I'm hooked on the Jolly Rancher build too!

Mitch... Thank you. I really appreciate the kind words and that this build has been an inspiration to you. I will be getting some time on this build over the weekend. so stay tuned and hopefully I will have some pics up Saturday. I have actually missed working on this one.

Its coming along great!  Life happens and build often take a very long time.  By pure coincidence, my oldest started build that I work on from time to time is the VERY SAME build.  LOL.  I started it in 1985.  Been on the burner so long that about a year or so ago I had to strip all the paint and decals and start the body over because the white had "yellowed" so bad.

What happened to this post? I was following it to page 225 and then it quit and stopped at page 180. I'm highly interested in seeing how it ends up... Amazing build! I wish I could achieve this detail; I just don't have the time...

Mike... Thank you very much. you  need to get back on that build

Keith... Thanks. This build is still going. It got pushed to the side for a bit just because I needed a little break from it and in the mean time I had started working on something else. I am trying to get some work done to this one this weekend.

Hello All... Well I have finally gotten back to making some progress on this build and of as recently I have gone back to make some updates to the blower and injector had 3D models I have drawn up in Solidworks. I have also updated the pulleys and got a blower belt designed for it. I have some other parts that I am going to be designing up That way I can submit a batch of parts that I need to finish some things up on this build. Here are a few pics of what I have designed and drawn up.

 

Here is an Isometric View of all of the parts:
