comp1839 Posted March 12, 2013 Posted March 12, 2013 incredible work joe. have you given any thought to paint yet?
Prostreet Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Thx. hey Joe? more please!! no time for fried brains lol LOL., I'm working on it, i havet he Bull horns painted just witing for them to cure so i can attach the V-bands.
Prostreet Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 incredible work joe. have you given any thought to paint yet? Thx. Dave, As far as paint, i have decided it won't have the big trim in the back. i have seen 1:1 promods like this and it looked fine. For colors, I have German silver,white,red and black in mind. Just not sure on what's going where and which ones i'm using lol.
Prostreet Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Finished up the Bull Horns, Painted alclad high polish aluminum with some transparent yellow where they exit the turbo's to simulate heat. i added a styrene ring to the exhaust where it exits the turbo's then added a piece of printing plate to simulate the main part of a V-band clamp. I used some aluminum tube,brass wire and a nut on the end to finish it off. I wanted to do it another way that would have looked more realistic but the plate kept kinking, so after 10 tries i gave up. Still need to add the O2 sensors. Edited March 15, 2013 by Prostreet
Mooneyzs Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Joe... well That's Bad A$$, Those turned out perfect. Those V-band clamps look killer. Very Nice work on them and the bull horns. Totally Sweet Man!!! Edited March 15, 2013 by Mooneyzs

Prostreet Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Hey guys. I have some bad news. I was originally going to sell this build then decided not to, Well i was hurt at work pretty good friday 3rd shift into saturday morning. So now i have to go out of work on comp and that's not going to cut it $$ wise so i had to sell this build for the extra cash. Not sure i would have been able to finish it at this point do to the extent of the injuries to my hand, I'm still going to need some surgeries. Hopefully at some point i will be able to get back to modeling and build something else, but at this point just worried about getting back to work sometime. I would like to thank everyone for there support and help and kind words during this build and hopefully the new owner will finish it off nicely and give me credit for building 90% of it when someone asks. I would like to give a Big thank you to Dave(comp1839) with out him this build wouldn't have been as accurate as it is and also thx. to Clay Kemp for taking the time to help me through this build also and Jim(micronitro) for making all the cool aluminum parts for it. This took forever to type one handed lol. Joe
vintagedragfan Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 wow Joe, this is terrible news, sorry to hear about your misfortune, I hope everything turns out ok with your hand, I will truly miss seeing you finish this build, anything I can do to help, let me know! we are thinking about you
GoatGuy Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Joe- I'm praying for a full recovery. What you achieved on this '57 so far is awesome.
tyrone Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Whoa... man I'm real sorry to hear that Joe.... Hope you are able to bounce back quickly bro... you are a very talented builder man... I'll hate not seeing this one finished by you....
Magic Photos Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 In our prayer Joe, great work on this build. You will do a new one soon.
Red rocket 10 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Joe I'm very sorry your hurt , you are very a very talented builder you'll build again . Get well soon... Leonard
RAT-T Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR HAND JOE, BEST OF LUCK TO YOU
Mooneyzs Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Joe... I am so sorry to hear about your hand. I will be praying for a speedy recovery and that the surgeries go well. That is a bummer that you had to sell this beautiful build but I understand the situation. I am sure gonna miss seeing updates on this build. I sure hope to see you do another 1/16th pro mod after your hand heals. You are a talented builder. I will tell you this much if we see this build completed by who ever bought it, we will know it was your work.
