Bill.....MCM should do a article just on this engine......man,that`s BEAUTIFUl.......I`m jealous that I did not get to see it too.

John, man you are way too kind, and I really appreciate you supporting me and every one on this great forum, a true gentleman, and an outstanding creator of models! we all look up to you my friend!

Your killing it Bill, work of art. What size is that wire your using for the weld beads?

thanks Joe, I believe it was 26 guage

here here!!! would love to learn that, even thou i just own a lathe need to save up for the mill now, and i agree when someone else said earlier you should get featured in the mcm mag on maching skills very tight and totally awesome work.

hey Darren, you can do all this stuff on your mill, do some research on it, I used my lathe before I got my mill on my last build, thanks for looking in!

Yep, did you use MIG or TIG Welding?

Really, fantastic work. I'd like to see this in person too, but the distance it bit too long.

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.

Mr Davis - awesome work my friend. Awesome. Can't wait to see more.

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
