futurattraction Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Wow! I've got nothin' more to say... Lol
comp1839 Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 that engine is definately incredible tyrone. your ability to correctly detail at that scale amazes me. i have a question for you...what are you using for the drive belts on the dry sumppump and the vacuum pump?
GoatGuy Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 Looks great man. The welds on the headers, all the plumbing, the stance. Great.
Prostreet Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Awesome work Tyrone, You have those little engines down to a Tee. I wanna see a 1/16th from you next please.
tyrone Posted August 19, 2013 Author Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys for all the kind words... I really appreciate all the kind words... Jeremy... I'm liking this one alot too... really like the body lines on this one... I'm trying to do it some justice... lol... Brett.... thanks alot bro... appreciate you checking in on it... Scott.. thanks man... your products are top notch...I really love the crank trigger kits too btw... Dave... much appreciated bro... for the belts I used some extra tape I had left over that comes with the Ross Gibson engines... that's what used for the belts in those kits.... Dave R.... thanks alot man glad you are enjoying it... Joe.... thanks alot bro... are you still working on the truck pro mod????? ... I've been debating on a 1/16th scale build... I'll leave the big stuff to you guys for now lol.... Edited August 19, 2013 by tyrone
Mooneyzs Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Tyrone... You are just killing this build. That detail on the engine is just amazing. Love your work man. I have to agree with Joe here I would love to see what you could do with a 1/16th scale build. You need to jump in with the rest of us building 1/16th scale. I think you will love it once you try one. I am hooked for life on 1/16th scale although I will still build 1/24 1/25 as well as 1/43. Keep up the great work.
slusher Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Excellent work progress so farTyrone. Engine looks killer...
PappyD340 Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Well I think all the adjective bases have been covered, so I will just say your talent is top notch my friend, waiting for more!!
tyrone Posted August 24, 2013 Author Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Thanks so much fellas for the kind words... I really appreciate it... I've been making some progress on this one today.. I got the rear wheel tubbs finshed up and installed, I've been working on the electronics too.. and I've got the engine and headers installed, along with the rack and pinion... I also went ahead and cut the front end off too... thanks for looking and comments welcome... Edited August 24, 2013 by tyrone
flo9mr Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 when i see your work i dont know if i should keep building models and get better at it or just quit... it amazes me every time.
brett Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 when i see your work i dont know if i should keep building models and get better at it or just quit... it amazes me every time. a truer statement has never been said, I know exactly what you mean
gasser59 Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Although I never thought it was possible, your builds improve with each one you do. I can't fathom how you pull it off. Loving this one
tyrone Posted August 26, 2013 Author Posted August 26, 2013 Edward.... thanks alot for the kind words... I'm glad you like my work buddy.... Jeff..... appreciate it bro... thanks for checking in... Brett... thanks... I appreciate your input man.... Brad... thanks man... I'ts all these talented builders on here..(you included)... that inspire and push me to try new things... I've learned alot since I joined this forum... and you all can take credit for that....
tyrone Posted August 26, 2013 Author Posted August 26, 2013 A small update... I got the front end mounted I drilled 2 holes in both sides of the front end and ran a styrene rod across that catches on the front end mounts to hold up the front end... I also found a Slixx decal sheet that had some smaller Hoosier decals on it and used them... I think they look more accurate... Thanks for looking and comments welcome.....
futurattraction Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 She's coming along really nicely, Tyrone. I really like this version of the body. Looking super!
Bill Edman Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 very nice tyrone as soon as i get another photo host page i will be posting my new build and will need your insight on building these kind of cars
DrKerry Posted August 26, 2013 Posted August 26, 2013 I can already hear it rompin away in the staging lanes!!!!!!!!! Very kool Tyrone!!!!
Mooneyzs Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Tyrone... your progress i just awesome bud. man I am loving this build. I like how you have used the styrene rod for the front body bracing that holds up the front end. This thing looks so sweet in primer and the detail to the chassis is just out of this world. You sure have these pro Mods down pat. I seriously think you could build them in your sleep . Keep up the great work and look forward to your next update.
