1320wayne Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Tyrone, the engine detail looks awesome and the profile looks perfect.
Mister Twister Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 You've got it right Tyrone....Its looking really good!
eviltwincustoms Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Tyrone, any plans in adding styrene along the rocker panels as well to transition off of your front valance?
Randy D Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Hi Tyrone, That fuel pump with all the lines is just AWESOME!!!! I think you got it setting just right! What do you use for A/N fittings? Randy
John Teresi Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Tyrone......luv the progress.......looking very nice.
tyrone Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Thanks fellas for all the comments, flattering comments from heavy hitters like you all are, means alot, I didnt get a whole lot done tonight, kinda thinking of what I'll be doing next and also trying to decide on a color. Bart I'm not going to add any styrene pieces to this one I kind of like the stance like it sits..here's a few pics w/primer on the body... Edited October 26, 2011 by tyrone
tyrone Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 Randy for my A/N fittings I use pro tech pieces whenever I can, I also use very small craft beads and crimp tubes from Michaels, they work well also and they are alot less expensive, so it does not hurt as bad when you loose them by dopping them on the floor lol..Not knocking Charlie's stuff at all, but doing the nitrous type engines takes a lot of fittings... here's a pic of them. Well I got the front brakes/rotors done, I used Detail Masters drilled rotors and cut the calipers off the rotors in the pro stock cutlass kit, then I used my dremel tool w/the cutting wheel on it and carefully cut a groove down the middle so the rotor fits inside, I used a piece of round tube to make my hubs, I added a piece of stytrene to the face and drilled a hole through the center to fit on the spindle,,black paint and bolt heads from pro tech. I'll get my braided hoses on tomorrow, thanks for looking and comments welcome...
stump Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Man, Tyrone.....you got a great eye for detail mate, and I'm so lovin' where you're headed with this. Keep her going man, can't wait to see this unfold....
thumper86 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Nice work man ! That is a clean clean build my fav. of your builds for sure!
eviltwincustoms Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 I have to agree with Robert, this is a very clean build and very well executed! I wish I could plumb a NOS engine as quickly as you can and look that great. What Stump said as well about you having an eye for detail, you capture every little detail I am just in awe...
tyrone Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks Greg, Bart and Thumper, I appreciate the kind words.....
outlaw105 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Nice build Tyrone..... You know how to get rid of those NOS fittings? TURBOS Edited October 27, 2011 by outlaw105
Nitrozilla Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 Thanx for the tip on the Beadalon goodies. Beats cutting up aluminum tubing for an inaccurate fitting. There are those of us who are low budget builders and a tip like that is a big help.
Mister Twister Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 The details are looking great as usual! Those beads are sweet aren't they?
comp1839 Posted October 27, 2011 Posted October 27, 2011 tyrone, you always seem to get the details just right. awesome build!
tyrone Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 Thanks for the kind words fellas, Dave, much thanks, RG, one of these days I'm gonna have to take a stab at one of those turbos, trying to round up some good reference pics, so many projects, ideas and not enough time. I did get some work done on this one I got the electronics made up and installed, I really like the new decal sheets from Slixx, there's some of everything on the sheets, here's a few pics thanks for looking and comments welcome.....
tyrone Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 I also got the ignition coil mounted, got my brake lines ran, and got the chute handle and cables done, heres some more pics..
brett Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 man I love looking at your work, clean precision detailing that leaves no stone unturned. I learn stuff every time you post pics, thanks Bro
tyrone Posted October 29, 2011 Author Posted October 29, 2011 Thanks Brett,,,more updates a little later...
Mister Twister Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Are those decals from the new Slixx goodie sheets Tyrone?
