Mudpit602 Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) I really like the exhaust. Looks great. I can just hear it rolling down the street. Awlsome work. Edited July 23, 2010 by Mudpit602
CrewDawg15 Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 First off, I apologize for not commenting sooner. I have just spent the last hour soaking in this build. I see a lot of passion and determination, and I have a great respect for all of the work done so far...and have even picked up a few new tips as well This one is definitely one to be proud of. Jimmy

Jimmy Thank you so much Jimmy for your comment it has been a long road travelled but now it's comming to an end todays post will be the last post as the car will be done then I will move it to the underglass section. Thx to all of you who have followed this build for all your encouragement and support. It's really helped me to keep moving forward. Romell
Dr. Cranky Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 This is the kind of build that you'll probably end up suffering post partum blues with, buddy. I can't wait to see the final glam pictures of this beauty.
pharr7226 Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Romell, Congratulations on wrapping this beast up. It's a killer build and you should be very, very proud. Keep up the great work Bro.
Peter Lombardo Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Like I have something new to add to this!!!!!! Obviously we are all in awe of this build...there is such a tremendous level of detail on every sub assembly. This is one for the record books! Most Impressive.

Peter Lombardo Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 How do you like that, I had so much to say, it printed it twice! Strange days!
Foxer Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 It's going to "Glass" ... OH NOO! I guess you're going to have to start another build to give us all our fix ... This has been a pleasure ride for sure, Rommel ... Thanks for the ride.
cazxr2 Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) I've followed this since day one. And as much as I am happy to see it finished I'm also sad too.? It's like an end of an era? Lol it's been amazing to watch this build come alive. I'm still new to the model scene. But the work and efford u have put in over all the updates that u made are amazing. I hope the nova is this thrilling to watch. Cheers bud for a great show. . Craig Edited July 26, 2010 by cazxr2
JohnnyNitro Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Very cool build man. The detail is amazing. I've enjoyed watching your progress and seeing how things are done. Thanks for documenting your build! -Johnny
Jim Gibbons Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Well, it must mean you got your wheels. Good to hear...I will continue to progress at the speed of a berserk snail regarding the machined wheels. (The good news is that my friend just got his repaired computer back, and it has Autocad, so when the time comes, I can do the drawings.) Looking forward to the Under Glass postings!

Nope never got the wheels so I had to improvise. I went back to the origanal set and drilled em and spruced em up a bit they'll do for now.
GOTH KUSTOMS Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Well Romell, what can I say? that hasn't been said already? how about TOTAL AWESOMENESS, if that's even a real word, congrats buddy on a spectacular, build.......
plasticfrog Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I have checked in a few times on this build and like everyone said before you are A MASTER WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO DETAIL I also have learned alot from you cant wait to see it finished
Smart-Resins Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Hey terry Im glad you asked .....I use a tube bender (which I purchased from My LHS)made just for bending 1/8 tubbing (which is perfect for 3'pipe) I find if you use a 1/8 tube with the right thickness and you proceed slowly you can get a good bend without having to heat the brass. And the bender makes it simple to bend not hard at all. Thx for your question Terry and I hope this helps you. tube bender What brand is that tube bender? Did they have other sizes too like 1/16? Thanks.
Dragline Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 (edited) I watched this from the beginning and have just been in total admiration of your attention to detail Rommell. Cannot wait to see it "Under Glass" Every phase was enjoyable and I used your plastic bag idea for my belt set [i bought the same one]. Unfortunately, you cannot glue the plastic bag with CA. It simply dosen't stick [for me at any rate]. Great build bro. Bob Edited July 26, 2010 by Dragline
Blake Rogers Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 what can i say Romell your work is the stuff dreams are made of man the wife said you are a master of modeling!!! can't wait to see it. were you get the tube bender ?.
Romell R Posted July 27, 2010 Author Posted July 27, 2010 Hey fellas you can get the tube bender at you local hobby store, and they come it two sizes 1/8 and 1/32 ...thx for all the compliments on the build I wanted to share these parting shots with ya before she goes to glass I hope you enjoy. The rear bumper will be installed tomarrow. Thx for following my build you guys are the greatest!
Blake Rogers Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 outstanding work Mr Romell i think you need to write a how to book man. i have never had my jaw hit a table before...now lets hope you do the dart just as well!!! :D
crazyjim Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 The DuBro tubing bender is available online at several places and comes in 1/8" and 5/32" sizes. Hobbylinc has them for about $8.00 plus shipping of about $5.00 (to FLA).

crazyjim Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Not a problem, Romell. Glad to be able to help you after all the inspiration I've recieved from your '67 Chevelle hot rod. Next time I go to Ocala I'm going to check if my LHS has one at a reasonable price. I would imagine you could use the bender on solder too.
sjordan2 Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Just superb craftsmanship and detail. I doubt that there's anything similar at all to this one.
