Art Laski Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) 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 Brett, the blower is from the Revell '70 Chevelle 3 'n 1. ...and John, you made it look AWESOME!

Dr. Cranky Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 No doubt these are great reference pictures now on how we can all detail this type of engine, John. Thank you for keeping us well eye candy fed. Cheers, DC

tyrone Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Some serious players up in here.... John you're at the top my friend...
Casey Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Superb work....your application of Alcad is second to none! I was just thinking the same thing...it really does look like a lot like chrome. Maybe I missed it, but are you planning to use different headers than what was shown earlier?
GoatGuy Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 Looking great John. It all looks great. When are you going to start online classes for us?
Dragracer Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 The chassis, engine & wheels all came out looking great John, always liked the 5-spoke/American Racing 200 (Daisy wheels) combo's.

Mooneyzs Posted May 25, 2012 Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Ok John.... I have to tell you the first 3 words that came out of my mouth when I saw the engine together...."Oh Holy Crapola!" lol Man This build just gets better and better. You are the man. I really need to have you show me how you make your belts. they always turn out so nice. I am loving all of the detail you are putting into this build. Keep it up John...
