Nitrozilla Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Randy, I think you've got a bad link in the timing chain. Whoops, my bad, never mind, just a micron sized dust speck on my monitor. Carry on.
Mooneyzs Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Randy this is awesome and that detail you have added to the engine is just amazing. Nice work so far. Looking forward to more.
W-409 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Truly amazing work! That engine looks super! I'm speechless.
Dragracer Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) It all looks great so far, great detailing, & thanks for posting some of the ref. pics,I could use them when I start detailing some of my carbed cars. Edited September 13, 2011 by Dragracer
hOLMS Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Hi Randy, Man...this should be one heckuva ride. Gonna be awesome. Great work so far: that engine detail, the way the firewall meets the body and the chassis work...Grade "A".

Randy D Posted September 25, 2011 Author Posted September 25, 2011 Making up the rear rims using the parts from the Pro Sportsman Chevy kit and the Mongoose Drag kit...
Randy D Posted September 25, 2011 Author Posted September 25, 2011 A mock up with the tires from the Sportsman kit... Still need to make the brackets for the brake caliphers and make up a clip to hold the wheels on the axles. That is all I have for now, Thanks for looking! Randy

eviltwincustoms Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 WOW Randy is all I can say. That rear end looks amazing taking styling queues from the Mark Williams Modular 9" rear end! All that detail and the scratch built 4 Link and Hubs is incredible, would have never thought to use washers to build on.
Mooneyzs Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Randy... you have done some awesome work on that rear end man! It is looking great and so is this build! Very Nice!
1320wayne Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 That is some superb work and detail on that rear end unit. Very nice indeed.
Nitrozilla Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Um, Randy, um, I'm gonna need a list of shows that this beast is scheduled to enter so I'll know which contests to stay away from. Actually, you're one of the reasons I stayed. If I'm gonna run with the big dogs, (Ya'll know who you are), I gotta stay up to speed on current events. Please don't take this wrong, but your rear end is incredible. There's gotta be a better way to word that...........

How about calling it a Rear Differential/Axle housing or Rear Axle assembly (since he has the rotors and calipers mounted)? Edited September 27, 2011 by eviltwincustoms
MicroNitro Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Unreal detail, I wish I could see stuff that small let alone build it.

How about calling it a Rear Differential/Axle housing or Rear Axle assembly (since he has the rotors and calipers mounted)? Aft Power Transfer Gear Housing Torque Application Sub Assembly? I like rear end better. Oh, wait....... Edited September 28, 2011 by Batzilla
Randy D Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Finally an update... Thanks go out to Bart, Chris, Wayne, Tyrone, Batzilla Joe and Prostreet Joe :) I appreciate you guys taking the time to comment! More work on the rear end
Randy D Posted October 18, 2011 Author Posted October 18, 2011 Decided to drill out the axles and tap for a 00-56 bolt to hold the hubs on
