Romell R Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Rom awesome as always! Did you machined that wheels in your new mill? Cesar Cesar I can only wish I could take credit for those rims, but i cant they were made by forum member Micro Nitro. I got those from him before I got the mill. Edited August 2, 2011 by Aftashox
Romell R Posted August 2, 2011 Author Posted August 2, 2011 Hello again my friends and thx again for the great compliments. I got some work done on the motor not quite finished but its started. Hope you enjoy the pics needed to fab a throttle body so i pulled out the trusty soldering gun and got busy again these are the fuel lines that will run from the fuel pump the one in the center is slightly bigger this will be the main line fuel pump installed decided to do the fuel lines in black , used a black sharpie for the job here you can see the line attached with belt on also come back later today for more up dates
Romell R Posted August 2, 2011 Author Posted August 2, 2011 Here's the Blower belt guard i made from brass I'll paint it tomorrow Come back later for another update
John Pol Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Wow Romell this thing is amazing me keep up the good work.

If so any how toos on that your the professor i`m the student lol. John Pol
Badluck 13 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Romell,I am getting tired of you posting pictures of 1:1 work in progress of real cars and trying to pass 'em off as a work in progress model you claim to be building ........Seriously Romell,your w.i.p.'s just totally never cease to amaze me,just fine,fine works of art!!!!
Malard Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 I don't think this guy gets it this is a model forum not for real cars..... O wait that is a model! This is amazing!
Dragracer Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 You know I'll keep coming back!,the engine is looking fantastic Rom!, like the sharpie idea for the fuel lines (planning on using different size black hair ties for mine).

Romell R Posted August 3, 2011 Author Posted August 3, 2011 Here's a couple with the pump plumbed. Hope you enjoy come back later for more.

John Pol Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Amazing work that motor looks real good love the fuel pump it looks so real your the king now keep up the good work. John Pol
Romell R Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 Hey fellas I have a few pics for ya , I got a lil more of the plumbing done I had to make a "Y" splitter to lead fuel lines to the top and port fuel blocks here's how I accomplished that. I started off by soldering a piece of tube to a square piece of tube then two smaller pieces of round tube after cutting off the excess this is what I ended up with Well almost at my picture limit so i'll save the rest for the next post.
Romell R Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 Ok so here's what the splitter looks like all done and connected And I figured while I was at it i'd drill out the scoop so I can start on the working butterfly doors Hope you'll return soon....
Drake69 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 I have been following this build off and on since you started it. You have talent I could only dream of having dude. Beautiful work!
pharr7226 Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Great idea and execution on the splitter. I'll file that one away for use later.
Dragracer Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 The upper engine looks like it's coming out good Rom!, just love checking this build out!
charlie8575 Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Wow. What else needs to be said? Charlie Larkin
buskid Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Great work as usual. I have a question for you. What happened to the huge tow truck you were working on? I was following the build getting ideas for my next possible project. I love those aluminum wheels you had on the truck and the tires.
Danno Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Awesome ... amazing. (No emoticons were injured in the making of this post.)
Romell R Posted August 5, 2011 Author Posted August 5, 2011 What happened to the huge tow truck you were working on? I'm getting back on that project as soon as this one is done I needed some inspiration to get back to the bench, I also bought a LoneStar that im gonna use in that build to so stay tuned.
