Tyrone... you have been a busy man. Those resin weld decals turned out great. Everything is just killer. I can't believe how you crammed all of that plumbing in for the Turbo set up. I am digging it. Awesome Work as usual

Looking good tyrone! Got a color picked out for the body yet?

Not sure... but leaning towards a nice deep red...

got a little progress done tonight.. I made a throttle body and it fits great, had to do a little trimming with the dremel tool.. I also made the steering column and the racepak mount, I made a water pump from styrene, mocked up pulley for oil pump too.... here's a few mock ups...

I made up a new grille with a piece of mesh I found laying around and some thin detail wire... I also stuck the vacuum pump on, still need to make the belt...

Wow just found this one and im super Impressed........ ;) ...... Its havin a bad effect on me keep wondering into the race car section, looking at builds like this, and cars from Codi and Chris have got me wanting to build one..........Im a Lowrider kind of guy ive never built a pro anything, but im thinking of making one now ...... :D .......

Could you answer a couple of questions for me? Please don't think im picking holes in your build, its just I will be using ideas from here for mine. Id like to do a twin turbo set up such as this, is there any kits available that come with them or should I order a couple of turbos ? The plumbing, how come it runs through the front suspension, cant you fit springs now ??? And where do you find those photo etch bolt heads, they look great ! One last one, do you build the entire cage separate to the body so you can paint it ?

Thanks for showing this, a great looking car, cheers mate ...... :) ...... Lowlife ! !
