John, any more progress? I have been loving watching this build progress!

OH MY GOD.

this is just to cool

Excellent engine plumbing! Really looks nice.

What is the single line on the left side of the injectors that loops up to the top edge?

The header flange around the header bolts looks a little rusty. How did you get such a light, blended-in effect?

Everything just looks awesome John, the on/off on the floor panels came out great looking! even like the concrete blocks, lookin' good!

You have the best metalic finish technick and weathering in the scale automotive arena that I have ever seen..SUPERB..SIMPLY SUPERB. But when you see all the other fabrication and scrachtbuilding part you do only one word comes to my mind...Masterpiece!!

Great Job as always, John! Engine detailing looks super and chassis is very beautiful too. I'm amazed, as always when I open up your WIP thread...

TOP NOTCH wok John....

That shift box, as well as everything else, looks fantastic John. I don't know how your chassis stay so clean with all of the handling it takes. my chassis always seems to get thin paint or, at a minimum, the paint gets dull.

Tyrone.....the bigger fuel lines are from the 99 cent store.......they come in a package of 5 rolls: red,blue,black,green and clear .......sometimes I paint the lines with black acrylic paint like I did with these ones........the smaller line is from "Pro Tech"........thanks.
