Davewilly Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Mark, Those are some killer parts your making. The rear end/rear suspension is looking very cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edboys Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Scott, I'm planning on being there, but this project will only be on display in-progress form. I'm trying to get it on wheels as a rolling chassis at least. If time permits I will have the driveline together and in place too, but don't count on it. See you there on Sunday. Dave and Michael - Thanks for the kind words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurattraction Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Great! I'm looking forward to seeing both you and your project. I'm hoping for the same with my Fairmont but the way this week's going, I'm not going to hold my breath... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Mark... those front wheels are looking great. I can't wait to see them finished. your skills and attention to detail just amaze me. I can't wait to this as a rolling chassis. going to be killer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edboys Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 The mold for the 12-spoke wheels was successful and this is what they look like in completed form. Two halves together, twisted for the offset and these are fitted in the Revell tire without any mount surface adjustment. Some minor sanding may be done before they are glued together though.

gasser59 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Those front rims are real beauties Mark. I'll add these to the list of 1/16th scale stuff I want to order from you. Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurattraction Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hey Mark, It was great seeing you yesterday at the Heartland show. I didn't have as much time to check out your Jewel T as I'd have liked, but it looks even more fantastic in the flesh than it does online. I can't want to see more updates!

edboys Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 It was nice to visit with friends again at the Heartland Nats as well as meet new ones too. Had a great time as always, lots of great looking entries and as always not enough money to purchase more of what I wanted. Brad and Chris - all you have to do is give me shout out for some parts. Anyone who visits here on the site can inquire into what I have available. Bill - again, good to talk to you, I always learn things from fellow modelers at these events. Our talks always get me that much closer to entertaining the thought of purchasing a lathe/mill. Your cuda is going to be killer when done! Scott - Our discussions are always enlightening and the parts you are producing will keep me looking at your website regularly. I will be putting the parts I got from you to good use. The brackets we talked about will become a priority to me in order to get the info back to you. In general, thanks for all the kind words from everyone who has commented.

Roadracer Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Very nice work Mark! Your scratch building talents are amazing! Just fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterj1 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Mark, Love what you've got going here...the old school altered's have always been perhaps my favorite drag racing car. What was the wheelbase on this car. I've been doing some reading on some chassis info, it seemed that the old school cars were typically 105"-110". Does this jive with what you'd read?

gasser59 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I just got a quick look at this beauty and met with Mark today. What a treat to meet you Mark and to see your workshop, builds and progress projects. I picked up a 392 and have something in mind for the bench after my current project.

I can not wait to see what you have in store foe the 392 engine. I gotta say I am a little Jealous that you got to meet Mark. Hands down his resin engines are the best in the business.

edboys Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 It was indeed a real treat to meet with Brad. I really do need to get back on the Jewel T project. I'm very busy with engine orders right now as well as trying to finish up some new & modified parts. Some of those parts are going towards Chris Sobak's order. Scott Popham and I are collaborating on some photoetch pieces that will fit with some of the parts I offer too. Here I thought my summer would be less busy.

Mooneyzs Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Mark... brad is an awesome guy and I love hanging out with him when I can. I will be here waiting for updates when you get back to the bench. I understand being busy with other projects. no rush on my engines at all. I told Mike Garland a while back to let you know that the next time he talked to you I have to get the army vega done first...lol. I think that is some great news about having some photo etch pieces to go with your engines. You know I will buy some... Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edboys Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Been a while since I posted on this build. Made some improvements on some of the BBC engine parts. Just didn't like the valve covers I had done earlier. Here's the improved valve cover for this build. Hoping to get back to this project. Very busy updating most of my resin engines.

Mooneyzs Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Mark... those Valve covers are gorgeous. As I have said beforw Best resin engines in the business. People need to know how nice your stuff is and buy some engineS from you. Cant wait til you get back on this Jewel T. It is an awesome build.

edboys Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Thanks guys. Unfortunately, this will continue to be slow going. There are so many projects that back-burn this build. Chris - you are so fortunate to have access to photos or better yet, could view Snake's car in person if you had the opportunity, but with the Jewel T there are no reference pix of the altered's interior or rear suspension. Even the builder, Wes Ingram, didn't take any photos while building the car and works from memory with me. I'm making a lot of decisions blind, based on common practices of those days.

hansb57 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Very nice built, I love all 1/16 th builts overhere. One question: I have been looking for the 4 hole injector for ages Is that an available resin part or did you make that yourself??? Hans Edited January 29, 2015 by hansb57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edboys Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hans, I do make the 4-hole Hilborn available in resin as well as the BBC engine. Shipping to the Netherlands could be pricey and I would have to check on that. Send me an email offline at mjaafd1@msn.com and we can talk more.
