Interceptor Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I was about to say "as usual, great progress", but then I realized that this wouldn't do you justice at all. So I'll stick to my oooh's and aaah's, as I stand in awe for these great skills of yours John. Keep it coming and thanks for those pic's, they say more than a thousand words.

John Teresi Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Hello......thank you all very much for the kind comments.......I did some work on the electrical panel.......I know it`s not correct but,sometimes you gotta use what you got......that`s what makes it fun for me........I still need to add a few components and decals.......I also made some header brackets and sensors.......and made a bunch of tabs for the chassis....... and bottom and side panels.......I will be the first to tell you that I know nothing about the mechanicals of a race car........I am 100% sure that this build " WILL NOT BE CORRECT"........but,this is a world of fun for me to play around with........I try to make my own stuff with simple little tools , styrene and some super glue........if it works thats good enough for me........I am usually pretty happy with my finished build........thats all that matters to me.........I build because I love to build........hope I did not ruffle any feathers?.........thanks for looking.

Sixx Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I doubt that I could make any of that in 1/4 or 1/2 scale let alone 1/16 or 1/25th!! I dig your work John!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatGuy Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Looks great John. There's a lot I don't know about drag cars, too. Like how a shifter like yours works. Those of you who know, please tell me how a shifter like this works. Does the driver just push the buttons to go to a higher gear? What does the lever do? Go from forward to reverse gear?
