tyrone Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Thanks alot fellas, I made up some headers from styrene tube, then I made eight 90 degree elbows, to slide up inside the tubes, I still need to clean them up, add some bracing, drill out the tips, and drill for the sensors, then I'll hit them with different shades of alclad... thanks for looking and comments welcome...

tyrone Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Looking good Tyrone, What color alclad is that? Thanks Joe, I started out with some gloss black. and then sprayed on some chrome alclad, then I misted on some copper and burnt metal metalizer paint to try and simulate some heat being run through them. I need to invest in a good air brush..but I'm pleased with it, still trying to get the hang of using this Alclad.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrone Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 oh man! beautiful work as usual Tyrone! any ideas on the paint scheme yet?? Thanks Bill.. I've been playing around with some ideas...I have my eyes on a Tom Mcewen funny car that ends today on ebay.. I need it for the decal sheet.. I kinda want to go that route, using those decals and a nice clean paint job... but I kinda want to throw something wild at it too... can't find any good pics on the web to give me any ideas though.....

W-409 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Great job! Absolutely beautiful work with the engine. I've always liked '57 Chevy ProMods, especially when they are built nicely (in 1:1 or smaller scale). Here's Finnish '57 Chevy Pro Mod, just for inspiration.

vintagedragfan Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 sweet! very traditional, I figured you would go with some wild multi color scheme with some kind of graphics, I guess I was way off on that one! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
