I sure like how you build all these items together. The exhaust does comes a lot better... blending on with the cartoon version. Great job  |

Thanks for the comments guys , they are greatly appreciated ! I have struggled a bit with this one , maybe because I had no plan when I started it . Guess that's why I'm moving so slowly when I work on it , but it's starting to come together now and I have a couple of ideas where it's headed !  |

Yeah, it takes some trials and errors... Even we had to take out or add in some modifications. You are not alone  |

Thanks much guys ! I was back at it this weekend and decided to start some body work . After several failed attempts to make a front spoiler I came up with a rather clean looking air dam that was pretty easy to make .  Then I Vac-U-Formed a L88 hood buldge from a Monogram Chevelle and grafted it onto the body . It had to be widened a bit and the center still needs to be opened for the blower and scoop .  
I think I'll add some sort of wing on the back too ! |

Thanks for the link , those were always my favorites and that's the look I'm shooting for . For the headers I started using 1/8" aluminum rod but ran out so I switched to solid core solder which is much easier to work with . The zoomies are the pieces I cut off of the original headers . |
