Does anybody know why they changed it later in the film? Maybe anything broke?

Cool shots. Are you the one that does the computer graphic models of the interceptor?
And are you a Berliner, or an American living in Germany?

My high school GF was a Berliner. She spoke German with a funny accent... "Ikke kikke Fernseh".
Couldn't tell, as your English is perfect.
I enjoyed your graphics work. The blower looked like a chrome piece of candy.

Heh, thank you for the flowers!
Yeah, "Ikke kikke Fernseh" sounds perfect
I'm in the process to rebuild the blower/Injector/Scoop and this time im
going for total accuracy based on real-world measures.

No worries WAYNE...I'm not married...that's why I'm buying all of the toys NOW, while I still can. They'll be my "retirement fund" later.

It looks pretty sweet. I wonder if that is the model car "the guys" approached Gordon and Grant to use their "replica" as reference a few months ago...kinda like Cobra 248 that's here now in Michigan.

Blower & pulley look pretty sweet, Drak......and I agree the pulley looks like the most difficult part to master.
I have a nice 1/16 pulley and vinyl/rubber belt from an old funny car kit you can possibly use for masters if you'd like; I actually found them while we were moving into our house 3 years ago. Drop me an email if you're into it, and I'll send them.
