It all looks great, but the wiring, hoses, and fittings really stand out.

Thanx, Detail Master, RB Motion, Modelers, parts by Parks etc,I have been collecting them for about 10 years, I have a good collection of fittings from when I built Drag cars... I figure a little 1in x 4in x 6in box has about $1500. worth of aluminum and brass nuts, bolts and fittings.. more expensive than when I built real drag engines I think.. Chris

Thanks Art, I have been trying to get the shocks in for about an hour, there has to be a better way.. LoL I wanted the brake lines to be rubber up to the edge of the chassis and then braided line to the caliper, it worked out nicely.. Chris

Ok several hours going through the 5 albums of decals, find some apply the white donuts, they bleed to much.. apply the NGK decals they crack, and the STP decals..well pos, then spend a hour removing them all , wet sand body to remove any marks left and spend another couple of hours to find replacements.. uuuuugggghhh!!!! Then put on new ones and call it a day..still have to find some NGK, STP and square Shell decals all I am sure I have but just didnt want to spend more time after that near catastrophe...moving on!!! Chris

Excellent detail work! What is the tubing that you used for the fuel lines? Model Factory Hiro, clear/brown .oo5 tubing, everyone carries it online, runs about $6. and will do 2 cars.. good stuff, kinda like a silicone very bendable.. Chris MFH p-958 is the part #
