freakshow12 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Looking great. I was thinking you would have had this done way before I got my super bee done! It appears we will be close. We will get that race set up yet. Lol.
sak Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 looks good. But all mopars of this era had body color firewalls and inner fenders.

PappyD340 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Still looking great Jason, I know school work is not the most desirable thing for a teenager, but it's necessary, and in the end you won't regret it!!
kobuzz Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Still looking great Jason, I know school work is not the most desirable thing for a teenager, but it's necessary, and in the end you won't regret it!! Agreed, a good education leads to a good job that leads to the ability to build one of these in 1:1.
Dragfreak Posted November 8, 2013 Author Posted November 8, 2013 Still looking great Jason, I know school work is not the most desirable thing for a teenager, but it's necessary, and in the end you won't regret it!! yes school work is very important especially going down the path im taking. Agreed, a good education leads to a good job that leads to the ability to build one of these in 1:1. which is my plan, going into the navy as a Seabee construction mechanic and stay long enough to pay for me to go to Wyotech and from there find myself a high paying job.
Dragfreak Posted November 12, 2013 Author Posted November 12, 2013 getting the engine wrapped up, vacuum pump finished and installed, push lock line in, and all the fittings I scratch built. the whole unit is completely scratch built excluding the hose. not too shabby if I don't say myself, I also scratch built an overflow bottle except for the breather. and with the core support finished I think the Camaro radiator looks 100X better than the kit junk. all comments and suggestions are welcomed!
TFchronos Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Awesome building I wish I could get my engines to look half as nice as this one. And as for your plans for the future, very respectable, I hope it all works out for you.

Thank you, I've put a lot of effort and ventured into stuff that I thought I could never do with the engine, as for my future I hope it works out too, I feel that's its the better and smarter path rather than going straight to Wyotech and taking a loan to pay for it and then be in debt afterwards.
Dragfreak Posted November 12, 2013 Author Posted November 12, 2013 Should have some good progress pics tonight I finally don't have any homework tonigh! First time in weeks!
Dragfreak Posted November 17, 2013 Author Posted November 17, 2013 After 11 and a half months I have her done! what a relief! heres just a few pictures the rest are posted in the Under Glass Section.
Foxer Posted November 17, 2013 Posted November 17, 2013 I'm ashamed I somehow missed watching most of this build but I did make it finally ... You building is a pleasure to see and at your age I happy to see you jump into making anything you don;t have and figuring a way to do it. That is the spirit of this hobby since I was doing it when I was your age ,,,
