[Romell R]

Thx Brandon glad you could share my vision

I'm working slowly I was able to get the rear access hatch cut and fabbed the door. enjoy

[SuperStockAndy]

Astonishing work Romell...I can only wish to be half as good as you someday.

[Dragracer]

The paint scheme sounds good Rom!, have a hard time hating/dislikeing anything in Blue!, can't wait to see it at that stage, but still enjoying the WIP.

Ok I got the fenders widened but I still need a tab bit more room so I cut the body down the center and install a wedge that will give me 2mm more on the sides

heres the fender with putty on it

Here's the wedge installed now all I have to do is make it all look like its not there.

see ya on the next update

Rom, I see you like a girl with wide hips. Don't tell you wife I said that. LOL.

Absolutely %$#@-ing awesome..... Incredible build!!!!!

[comp1839]

the paint should be killer romell. great job in making those wheels/ tires fit!

[hOLMS]

Way to go Rom. In making room for your tires, you've managed to add your own style that will be different from any other...that my friend, is just plain cool and what a personal touch is all about. Luv that bodywork, and of course all the rest.

I'm almost beside myself waiting for the paint. Seriously, should be incredible.

[Romell R]

John :Thx for the sincere compliment

Mark : somehow I knew you would get it.

Dave: This is your world brother im just trying to get a pass to be in it.

Jeff: you have a cold piece of work going on there your self keep it up man!

Fellas I just have another small update I was able to get the lower injector lines hooked up I hope you enjoy

See ya soon.....

[Romell R]

[John Teresi]

[tyrone]

engine detail is top notch, Great work Rom....

[Dragracer]

I think the only reason I noticed it is because of the engine pics I've been collecting for my builds, planning on detailing the engines as real looking as I can get them, I'll be running sensor lines from the lower engine area (crankcase area),blower,fuel & from the rear-end. To me,if you are going to put all the time into scratch-building,buying detail parts & everything else, it should be as realistic as possible,I know alot of people don't agree with me,but thats them & this is me, it's just the way I like to build & I don't expect everybody to build that way,as has been said before, to each their own & thats the way it should be. It's a great build Rom, & I'm enjoying it very much, planning on using some of your ideas,but in 1/25th.

[SuperStockAndy]

Romell...I'd like to drive it when it's done!!

[Nitrozilla]

I CALL SHOTGUN !!!!!!!!!!

[Foxer]

I don't know why, but I always get sad when I see a brass frame get painted ... but it's been awhile and I'm enjoying seeing the frame in later photos AND the rest of the eye candy of this build!

[Romell R]

Thx for all the great comments fellas , and Andy I can only put you in as a back up driver ......Cause this one's gonna have my name painted over the drivers door LOL!

Well fellas got another update for ya. I fabbed the oil system today from brass heres a sorta step by step,

soldered a piece of tube to a piece of sheet to make a closed cylinder

then added a center shaft this will serve the purpose of attaching to the motor

a little more detail added

ok now i'll clean it up and see you in a few seconds

[Romell R]

Ok Im back told you it'll only take a few seconds

this is where the pump will mount, one test fit now on to the paint

man I love Alclad

partially plumbed and ready to install on the motor

And here we are the installed oil pump system

I hope you enjoyed ......

[Romell R]

hey thx Randy Im looking forward to more on your project buddy

Chris your comments are always welcomed thx for the kind words

Hers a parting mock up hope you enjoy.....

[Romell R]

Ok fellas time for another update, getting the smaller details out of the way now, I made a MSD distributor from brass it not quit finished because I still have to wire and paint it cant wire it unit my boots get here from RB Motion. hope you enjoy....

I needed to solder a rod in the body so that i would have something to install it with once the distrib. was done

then once that was done I could solder the body together.....

Ok so maybe I skipped a few steps but I can only post 4 pics at a time now

here it is before paint for a test fit....whatya think...

see ya soon.....
