eviltwincustoms Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Guys...I do know about the distributor...don't forget..I've been around drag racing for over 40 years. I figured that's what you were going after Chris but I can see that this one is clearly mounted to the front of the intake manifold. I was just wondering why you had mounted it there that's all. I thought maybe you had a poor photo somewhere and you were under the impression that was how it was supposed to be mounted. Thanks for your explanation. "I found a couple of detailed pictures online that demonstrates this better. Pretty cool innovation." Indeed it is. One place I can think of that this setup would really help is the classic Big Block in a Tri-five Chevy where there is no room for the distributor at the firewall! Hey Terry, no one said you didn't know about the distributor placement. Dave was actually informing those of us that don't know how it works. I am pointing the finger directly at myself here!

ybsluos Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Great builds everyone! You guys are going to make me dig out one of my drag projects. Been slacking too long and it's time. Mr. Teresi you amaze me!-Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ybsluos Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Paul I remember this from a mid 90s SAE Contest Annual. Loved it then and love it now! Paul will correct me if I am wrong but I believe this was one of the first 16th scale Pro Mods. Superbad! -Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ybsluos Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I would have to say, that my overall favorite build of Daryl's has got to be that '58 Plymouth Fury, it's just beautiful, 2nd would have to be his Oakley Camaro. Hope you don't mind my piggy backing on your post Richard. Just wanted to say that I agree, that Fury is a beast! Thank you for posting the photos of Daryl's work Wayne. He is a monster builder and so are you!-Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ybsluos Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Here is my 66 Nova. I loved building this car. It was frustrating and rewarding all at the same time. Few things I wish I would have done differently but I learned alot with this build. This is awesome Chris!-Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edboys Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Don Prudhomme's Wedge done in 1/16th. Built a few years back and still don't have it decaled. Shame on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Teresi Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hello.......here is mine I built a few years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romell R Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Still lookin' KILLER Rom!, how did it do in the show?, win anything? (yeah, like it wouldn't!) Nah didnt win a thing , I found out after the show it was disqualified for the size of the base. but I still had a ball win or lose. On the other hand though my ford F350 got a Masters award for "best engine in show" who knew? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I know we're showing off drag stuff but I thought I would show a few of these shots since we're talking about it. This is Daryl's garage diorama that I believe Dave is referring to. He created it and then used it to photograph many of his drag builds. Awesome detail. This is the most realistic garage diorama I've ever seen, it's light years ahead of anything else I've seen in terms of detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 That wedge ia awesome ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Boy Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Mark, your Prudhomme wedge is outstanding! The detail is great, and the body looks spot on. You might be able to piece the decals together from the decals that Chuck Boerner makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
