baddgass Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Flashpoint spark plug boot`s. Thanks John. The Jaguar is looking great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragracer Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 John, The Jag's lookin' good, like the body work. Have 1 question tho, you have the 2 nitrous bottles in the car, but I've seen nothing showing them hooked up, no spots on the engine for them, no solenoids or anything & the last pictures didn't show any lines running from the bottles to the engine.

Ok !!!!........I will try to say what`s on my mind without ruffling any feathers........I am not a Professional drag-racer or mechanic.......and when I started this "WiIP' I mentioned that this is a make believe race car.......some of you have gave your 2 cent`s worth?.......well if you are a professional drag-racing or mechanic......... more power to you.......and I respect that......I sure wish I was........but,I am not.......I should not have to prove myself to anyone......this is just a model.......and that is what I like to do..........build models and share any info: or any trick that I have learned ......... I have never criticized or gave any advice to any persons model on this board or any other board.......I can take criticizing .......and I have for a long time but.when it continues from the same people i need to stand up for myself.......so with that said, I hope that I did not make my self look like a baby.......it does not matter if I get any comments at all.......but,I would like to share with others....... that would like my offerings.

Magic Photos Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Keep up the great work. That is why I love modeling you can create what you want. No rules. Mike Garland Sorry forgot the NOS is not plumbed it is for the driver....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scbaker Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I think your build regaurdless of its accuracy is totally awsome ... Everything looks as if it is functional and correct to me Keep up the great work !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in Berwyn Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 This looks accurate enough that if it was made of metal instead of plastic I think it would not only run, but run some really low e.t.s!!! Fantastic work, amazing detail! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 John... Now that the chassis is all together.... this is just coming right along. That Engine is looking sweet with all of the detail, the chassis looks amazing with all of the detail. You guys are making me want to now build a 1/16th scale Pro Mod car, which I may have to add to my wish list of kits I would like to build . John continue to build for yourself, You are an amazing builder and who cares what others think. I look up to all of the amazing builders on this site and hope to be as good as them someday. Anyway I can't wait to see what color you have instore to paint this project. I know it will be a beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize John, it seems my question was taken the wrong way,the Jag looks great & I can't wait to see it done, I've seen & admired your builds for awhile now & the Jag is pretty much at the top of the list. Once again I'm sorry if I offended you with my question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again I'm sorry if I offended you with my question. Richard......no need to apologize .......everyone is welcome to have an opinion........one thing I lack in my builds are the technical features on a build........that is my own fault......I could research more and do every nut and bolt correctly ........but,that is not who I am.........I have been on other boards and have gotten chewed out for little " nit pic " things.......I got tiered of it so I came to this forum......this forum has been very good to me........people are so cool on this board......just once in awhile......I will get a question or remark that I don`t know how to react to.......so I just tell the same old story.......it`s just a model and I am not perfect........with that said......it`s all good .........and now I got to get back to work on my make believe Pro Mod.........thank`s, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 John, you sound a little bit (well, a fair bit..) like myself. In general, I build "for myself"....if others like what I'm doing, then that's fine.....if they gain something from what I'm doing, that's even better. My technical knowledge is really very, very limited in regard to how these cars (drag cars in general) operate. My 1/12 Camaro is a "work in progress and enthusiasm".....one which I hope to complete. Like ALL my builds, I hope to complete. My research has carried me right across the boundaries of space via the net....gaining any thing at all, to try and make an "accurate model"....... 100% accurate it will probably never be......but it will be close enough for me. What you have achieved so far with the Jag is nothing short of incredible......I can only hope to get close to this. Now, get in and paint this beast.

Keep on with the Jag, enjoying it very much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
