dimebolt Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 yea Corey I have been droooooling over them for a long time! they are the coolest ever, would love to have one! you have to be a REAL machinest to build something like that, that leaves me out! I'd bet with the skills you have shown us all, you could probably learn it fairly easily. Then, your models WOULD be blowing small children over. LOL.

Dirty Gringo Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I had the pleasure of seeing this at local show this weekend and drooled all over it. I tried to find you the builder but the people that said they knew you couldnt find you. Wanted to just stick it in my pocket and run off very outstanding pics dont do the justice. Thanks for coming down to KS and showing it off as well as that gorgeousdragster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron5150 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The whole building process of your aluminum engine is just amazing. i have never seen any thing like it. At least for a plastic model car. Its crazy good and you did an insane amount of details through out the engine its just incredible. Great work! Cheers, Byron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alyn Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I have a small update, I got the waist gates done and installed, still need to run some oil lines to the turbos, and a couple lines to the waist gates, I all so added some weld to the intake plenum, still need to make a starter and dip stick and do a few more details and this thing is finally about done! I took it to Omaha to a show this weekend so I added some temporary exhaust to give it a more finished look. thanks for looking! It's just the engine, but this pic is so sexy you'd expect to see it in Rodders Journal. Awesome work, buddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I think it's art in metal, pure and simple. If only there would be a way of getting engines like this into the after market, how sweet would that be. Your skills are of the highest level.
