Sums it up for me as well. I am in awe everytime I ck in on this thread

 

I have accurately determined that the next time I feel like whining because someone doesn't make a part I need, I'll just shut up.

I'm a little intimidated by this thread.  The workmanship and creativity on display here is awe inspiring.  What I have to offer isn't quite as intricate or technically demanding, but I'm pleased with it.

This is a fuel tank for a 1930 Bentley.  I bought the model as a partially assembled glue bomb and the tank was a mess and the molded in details just weren't up to par.

Here's the completed tank with scratch built petcocks and guitar string fuel lines.

Some of my attempts at scratch building. The master cylinders on the fire wall are my creation

I also did the exhaust and drive shaft using ink pens, and that little red thing on the inside frame rail on the passengers side is the fuel pump

This is one of my first scratch builds this was my second visible V-8 so I had a spare intake and carb laying around, when I worked at a machine shop I would sneak in the garbage and grab hoses and wires that I would use in my builds

Some stuff from my current build.

 

Everything but the wheels, tires, and brakes.

 

 

 

Again, everything but wheels and tires.

 

 

 

Everything but the engines, chain/sprocket, and front tire.
