First Race Car 55 Chevy Pro Sportsman

[SteelyEd]

This is my first race car, have the engine completed with all hoses and wires. Please let me know if I have it correct, been following everyone's builds and have been inspired to build one. Maybe some day I'll be as good as you guys. Thanks for looking.

Ed... You are off to a great start. The engine is looking nice with the deatil to the carbs, linkages and plug wire. Nice job!

[SteelyEd]

Here are some shots with the fuel, oil, and NOS lines installed..

[SteelyEd]

Thanks man, I've following your builds and you are doing a fantastic job. Your attention to detail is just mine blowing. Actually your build is what inspired me to build a drag car.

[Mooneyzs]

Oh wow check out the NOS lines and the blanket around the transmission... that is looking awesome!!. Thanks for the compliments on my builds. My biggest piece of advice for you is to have lots of patience and take your time. I look forward to seeing this drag car come to life. You are off to a great start. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.

Wow! Great job with that engine. Details look very good, and realistic too. And it's interesting to see, what's coming next. Keep this going, I'll be watching this one.

Sweet!

[SteelyEd]

Thanks guys, it's all your builds that have me inspired to do this one. And yes this is my first race car.

This build is progressing very nicely and all we've seen is the engine. I'll be keeping an eye on this. Really liking it.

[Dr. Cranky]

Amazing engine. Great wiring, you must have nerves of steel!

[SuperStockAndy]

[thumper86]

Very nice detail!

[Sixx]

That's not yer first one man!! LOL!!!! I wish I could my carb links to look that good!! Awesome job Ed!

[Beavis]

i love the blue, great detailing!!! were'd those vicious looking carbs come from?

[SteelyEd]

Thanks All, and yes this my first race car, not my first engine to detail though. The carbs are from Compition Resins CRC-189. They cam e with a welded tunnel but I liked the kit supplied one better.

[futurattraction]

That's looking great, Ed! If you wouldn't have volunteered it, I'd swear this wasn't your first engine detailing experience. Keep up the fantastic work!

[Beavis]

more pictures lol . i'd love to see the rest of the project !

[SteelyEd]

Hey Guys! With work and life, bench time is at a premium! Able to get a little work on it today, will have photos later. I did some research on the white mark on the rear tires about how they help visualize wheel spin. My question is does it relate to the valve stem location? Your held and input is greatly appreciated.

Uh Oh!

Super start going there Ed!

Looks to be another follower too!

It is an inspiration to watch fellow plastic junkies preform on these kits!!

Thank You for sharing

Later

Finally got some bench time in and made some progress on this build... Engine is complete other than putting the coil on. Added NOS lines and fittings, scratch made cut-off valves. Got the wheels done, used kit supplied decals and lettering from “ Shabo”, pictures make them look kind of funky but in real light they are OK. Thanks for looking, sorry about the slow progress, but with work and everyday real life events bench time is at a premium.

Looks great, nice detailing on all of it...

[W-409]

Wow, great job with that detailing. It looks like 1:1 car to me, very nice. Pro Sportsman Bel Airs are not my absolute favorites in this scale, but when they are built as nicely as this, they are really amazing.

[jay8allday]

[plastikfreek]
