brett Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Great work as usual John, also great to see you working on a Drag car again . Quick question, what kit is that blower manifold out of ? I dont remember ever seeing one that the blower looks like it actually bolts to the manifold

MoparWoman Jamie Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Nice work, John. But I have question, I was following your other build of the semi truck and trailer that all a sudden it like vanished, what happen to that project? Anyways keep up the very very good work and keep the progress photos coming on your projects.
gasser59 Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Very nice work John. Another great build of yours in the works. I like to see the use of sheet metal. What are you using for this?

Jim......thank you for your concern about the truck........while I am waiting for the decals to be finished .......I started this project........hope to have the decals soon........thanks Very nice work John. Another great build of yours in the works. I like to see the use of sheet metal. What are you using for this? Brad......the aluminum sheets I use.........I get from the local train store......they are really thin aluminum 4x8 sheets that you can cut with scissors and file really easy........ cost is cheap too........thanks.
Pro Tech Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 John, great job bud! love the throttle plates, one area that's often overlooked. Your making great progress on this (as you do on all your builds) I think I got the rear tires/wheels on my F/C build since you started this.....hahahahaha........................... Charlie Pro Tech
Dragracer Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 The Rat is looking good John, the injectors are coming out pretty awesome!
John Teresi Posted May 16, 2012 Author Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Hello......thank you all for your kind comments.......using "Pro Tech" junction boxes and fuel line ...... I painted and plumbed them.......I made a fuel pump and a USA-1 belt shroud like the one on the 1:1 car........using insulation wire.......not perfect but, good enough for the girls I go with.......thanks for looking. Edited May 16, 2012 by John Teresi
Dragracer Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 The belt shroud came out great John, musta been pretty hard to do the USA-1 that small!
MoparWoman Jamie Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Jim......thank you for your concern about the truck........while I am waiting for the decals to be finished .......I started this project........hope to have the decals soon........thanks Your welcome, John. I didn't know what happen, I looked in Under Glass as I thought you might have finished it without me knowing LOL and that I might have by chance over looked the thread update. I always watch your builds as you do them even at times when I don't comment I am always watching the projects. Keep up the very very good work that you on your project builds man and keep those progess photos coming please.
GoatGuy Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 John the belt shroud looks GREAT. I'm going to have to download that, shrink it in Photoshop to scale so I can better appreciate what you did. That is what, 1/8th inch wide at most? Some day I have to see this up close.
W-409 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Great job on the Camaro FunnyCar! I really like the detail work that you are doing and that fan shroud came out great. I really like seeing these FC builds, and you guys make me wanting to start my Jungle Jim Vega FC...
gasser59 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 What can I say that hasn't already been said except that you keep pushing the envelope on all these little details John and I'm blown away.
Kustom Rodder Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Outstanding job so far John just cant say enough on how great your building skills are. I for one enjoy all your builds and try to learn something from them to apply to my own. Thanks for being on here and always sharing your work.
John Teresi Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Hello......thank you all for your kind comments......I did some work on the Blower........scratch built injector and fittings.......I used "Pro Tech" nut and bolt ends and throttle linkage ........painted Alclad stainless steel with a light wash.......also made a fuel pump and scratch built fittings......I used "Pro Tech" nut and bolt ends,throttle linkage, t`fitting and braided line........I still need to add some details to the blower and finish the plumbing on the fuel pump.......thanks for looking, Edited May 17, 2012 by John Teresi
Dragracer Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Love the way the blower turned out John, looks great.
Sixx Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 C'mon John, you're building another real one...ain't ya?! LOL!!! Man, that shroud must of been a pain in the butt!!! AWESOME work Mr. T !!

Mooneyzs Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Oh my gosh John... you keep pulling new tricks out of your hat man. I am totally digging the belt shroud. Looks amazing. Loving the fuel pump set up. I am going to need to build one here real soon for my funny car. Then there is the Blower... man just loving the detail. Seeing your work is just giving me motivation to get more of my engine done on my funny car. As usual... awesome work my friend!! Wonder what you have in store for us next
vintagedragfan Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 WOW John! you are the man! incredible work, you just make this stuff look so easy, when we all know how difficult it is to make something look so real! excuse me now, I have to gather all my junk up and take it to the driveway and start backing over it now
Pro Tech Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 John, man you did a knock-out job on that blower/pump, love the 90's at the injectors. Also that belt gaurd looks beautiful, very nice work bud! Charlie Pro Tech
