Darryl... thanks alot man... Well I got the fuel cell from the parts box, it's from the pro stoock cutlass kit, I wish I would have stocked up on those from TEM when they were still in business.. but this one will do. I made the fuel pump from sytrene, and mounted it.. tomorrow I'll get the radiaitor done.... Edited March 27, 2012 by tyrone
tyrone Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) here's a few mounted to the chassis.... Edited March 26, 2012 by tyrone
Dragracer Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 The fuel pump & the fuel cell both look great Tyrone, I agree, I wish I had stocked up on a bunch of stuff from TEM. Thanks for the kind words on what I got done so far on my builds, using Thumpers & your builds as motivation, I changed my idea (I do that alot, 1 of the reasons I can't seem to get anything done! LOL!). on the Nova, don't think it's going to be a "yenko" anymore, going to give it a different paint/graphic treatment, so I don't think the Yenko stripes will work with it.
stump Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Man....this looks SIC !.................. Tyrone, I gotta say man, IF my 1/12 build turns out HALF as good as this, I'll be a happy man. GREAT work mate.
tyrone Posted March 26, 2012 Author Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Thanks Darryl... I really appreciate it... Greg.. thanks, I dont think you have anything to worry about.. that's a serious looking build you've got going on... Edited March 26, 2012 by tyrone
W-409 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 GREAT job with the Camaro so far, I like the look of Narrow Body Camaro PM. Paintjob is killer, and that engine detail is incredible. I enjoy watching this one, keep it going. What happened with the scoop?
vintagedragfan Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 top notch work man!! looks real bro! you are about to knock this one out!
gasser59 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Awesome Ty. Love your work and this one is at the top of the list. Keep killin' it!!

Tyrone, even though it's dissapointing that Chris is no longer in business there are always suitable alternatives. Check out Futureattractions site. He has a very nice clean fuel cell that almost matches the one offered from TEM but is better due to it comes with the photo etch top. You even get two per pack. Check out the link. You won't be dissapointed. http://futurattraction.com/9.html
tyrone Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Thanks alot fellas..I'm trying to get the engine area wrapped up. I got the radiator and upper and lower hoses done today. I also wet sanded the body with a 3600 pad to smooth it all down from where I had painted on the stripe, some touch was needed in a few spots afterwards, so I used a fine tip black sharpie, and layed on 2 more coats of clear, I'll let it sit for a few days then polish it and wax it. I'm very pleased at how it turned out.... Edited March 29, 2012 by tyrone
Mooneyzs Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Tyrone.... awesome job man. That fuel pump is sweet. This thing is really coming together. All I can say is that you have these build down. I would love to see you dive in to a 1/16th scale build
stump Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Tyrone, Chris has hit it spot on man......you NEED to step up, that's all there is too it mate. 1/16 is the way of the future. (not that I've got there yet...) Would love to see you tackle one of these at your leisure....I'm sure there would be lessons for us all to learn.
tyrone Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks Chris and Greg, I've been debating on doing one of these big boys one of these days we'll see.
Romell R Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Tyrone all I can say is "Bruh"....... Do yo thang Maine!
Dragracer Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 You should be proud of this build Tyrone, I think it's one of your best, the paint job came out great!
tyrone Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 thanks fellas for all the nice words,,, I got the rear chutes done, and I added some thin pieces of styrene to the inner door skins, then added carbon fiber decals to them I'll get those finished tomorrow... thanks for looking in and comments welcome...
eviltwincustoms Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Nice job, those door skins really finish it off. I am sure having them in carbon looks really nice up close. The pictures definitely don't do them any justice, they just look like black/grey pieces on the door. Tyrone, you really have out done yourself with this project it came out really nice that second time around! Looks like you may have a couple dimples in the clear on your deck lid... I have gotten to the point where I hate the Macro setting on my camera, because it will capture all the fine details that the naked eye can't see. So when are you going to put out your "Scale Pro Mod How To - DVD"? I am sure a bunch of people on here would be willing to see all of your little tips and techniques that you use in building your projects.
vintagedragfan Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 this thing is dripping with coolness Tyrone! love the shots from the rear!! I have one question, did you gear it for the quarter or the eighth?? LOL
tyrone Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 Thanks Bill I really appreciate it... She can go the 1/4 or the 1/8 though.....lol... Thanks Bart... once I get the door panels finished up, and cleared I'll get some better pics up.. just wanted to show what I had done they're by no means finished yet... Those dimples on the trunk will be gone also.. I have not polished it yet either... she'll be nice and smooth when it's all done...DVD is in the works...lol.... coming soon..
Romell R Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Man thats sooooo Kool ! Excellent work Tyrone! So whats next??
Dragracer Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Waiting to see her all polished out & ready to hit the track!
