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

Dave thanks man! I haven't made any progress on it for a few weeks, I have been to 3 shows in the last 3 weekends and going to Branson to a show this weekend, I have been enjoying sharing the engine and my dragster, everyone has been very supportive of both! thanks !!

I am sorry I missed you at Wichita Jeremiah! you should have hung around a little bit I was there all day wandering around, it would have been great to meet you, I made a couple of new friends while I was there, I appreciate the kind words and NOT sticking it in your pocket !! lol

Anxiously waiting some more eye candy, sir! Im working on a 70 Challenger myself, pro touring. Wont be as crazy as this work of art, but this will stand as some serious inspiration.

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

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.Posted Image 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!

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.
