Thanks Dennis and Les, I will keep that in mind Les, this thing sure looks like it could spit fire!!! Got after the body today, decals done - well mostly. Now, if I could just muster up a set of nuts to try and trim/paint, by hand, the side windows in silver, I could then apply the strips of flame decals I made on that silver. As you can see, the silver is where the flames show the best. Not going to add anymore, other than maybe the side windows, since they are barely visible. Besides, the decal work came out pretty good, and do not want to risk messing things up. SOOOO, guess I made too many flame decals, oh well, another day, another build. I also snapped a few outside pics so I could see what I have to fix - LOL     Here is the rear where I first envisioned making some flames. Not only did it disguise my horrendous silver paint line, but I actually think it looks pretty cool  |

Thank you Mike, Dennis. Oh, I would not worry Dennis, your engine would probably make mine look like a slant6 - LOL
Got the rear end and wheelie bars on this morning, here is a little mock up for when I get home tonight to get the tranny installed. Man, this engine is a monster, pretty cool!!!

LOL - I just figured a "double shot" would be needed to acquire the "Kahoneeys" to mash this motor, screaming and hanging on all the way down that quarter mile!

Careful what you baggin' there Willis!!   That is looking so SUPERB mate, those decals really set off that great paint job, and that very impressive engine too, your blowing this out of the water mate. praising-the-lord-smiley-emoticon |

No worries mate - remember, the Camaro we have is a 6 - and with 323 horses, FAST! BUT - wow - had to walk away for a bit. Got that massive Hemi in the motor mounts to start the multiple hose connections, (oil lines, fuel lines, etc) And DAM - hook up one line, another comes off, then the oil filters come off, then the wheelie bars come off, header comes loose, blow back hose off...  AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH  smiley-scared002 Got all but 3 lines hooked up, gonna let it set, all propped and pinched until this much sets - good grief! LOL  |

Thanks guys, I do know what you mean, NOT the first time things like this happened, LOL
BUT - I was able to re-install the wheelie bars, header and all the lines re-applied, not the best picture, but at least we are on to the front suspension!

Appreciate that John - and yep, that's what I did last night. Was not super glue, it's some kind of glue my wife had on her bench, dries clear, supposed to be like super glue.
Definitely need to read - WAY - ahead on this one. A ton of those hoses could have been done at different times, I know now for the next one! (I have 2 or 3 more - LOL) |

Front suspension / axle built up, ready for the rims and tires  Forward / rear drag links, steering gear box, throttle linkage, etc - etc  Hard to get close ups of all the itty bitty bits that are involved in all this linkage - how about a couple shots of the instructions!   ITTY BITTY BITS EVERYWHERE!!!! Lol - BUT, she is together. glue drops, and touch up to follow. Next up - the rear end assembly. |

I do thank you Dale, Mike and Dennis. FINALLY getting close to wrapping this up. Here are a couple shots, before the inner body panels covers up all the headaches, LOL A bad, fuzzy shot of the brake lines and shoes, my apologies    Hand painted the side window areas. Final inspection and touch up tomorrow, light polish and clear coat tomorrow   |
