GTIdude, I hope to be done in time, I dont really have much else to do exept find a way to hinge my rear hatch, the rest is assembly.

quadzero - I actually just formed the hose with aluminum tube and wrapped it with phonewire. i formed a couple "horns" to blow air into the throttle bodys...at least thats the theory.

It was in the Diecast/Model section of the community.

Here is the link to the finished models, Shucky stole it. If you look into the thread when building was happening you will see his great progress...the detail on his engine is fantastic!
