VERY NICE TYRONE

[tyrone]

Thanks fellas.. I really appreciate it... well I got a little time at the bench tonight... been glued to the t.v. with the playoffs on... I got the inner door skins done.. and for the engine I decided to go with the pro sportsman engine block and heads, intake is from the pro stock cutlass kit.. and I took the front engine plate from that kit and modified it by removing and filling in the water jackets.. and modified the water pump to look a little more current... I really wanted to use the ross gibson 762 but there is not enough clearance... I'll do the best I can with what I got.... Thanks for looking and comments welcome.... I really wanted to use this front engine plate from Dirt Modeler... but it wont fit without some modification... Ross Gibson engine is a lot bigger... I drill out the exhaust ports... I've found this makes it alot easier when it's time to make the headers...

Looking real good.  Should be really nice when it's done.  I like your idea of drilling the heads to ease header fabrication- I was thinking of that earlier toady as I was head-building a '71 Charger.

Those are some nice updates, Tyrone!  Are RG engines typically 1/24th scale?  I don't know - just wondering??  Your side-by-side pic of the two engines certainly makes it appear that it's a different scale from the kit engine.

Ty, the engine you have mounted looks great.

 

I hear ya....parked myself on the couch for playoffs the past several weekends!

[Mooneyzs]

Tyrone... this is some killer work and looking good. It is sure coming along

[tyrone]

Thanks alot fellas... Scott I dont know exactly what scale this engine is supposed to be... I'll check the package when I get home... I've decided I'm gonna use the kit engine, and just try and get it to look as close as I can to the current engines... Thanks again fellas...

Looking good Tyrone.

'55 Chevy Pro Mod - Super sweet subject matter and project.  I'm really watching this as I have a similar build in the planning stage.  This will speed up my research for sure!  I don't know how you can keep up this pace, Tyrone.  I've barely finished reading your last thread and here's another one.  You must have a ton of Cola and coffee on hand and then occasionally your wife slips some food  under the door.

[tyrone]

Thanks alot fellas.. well I got some work done tonight on this one... I got some parts in the mail from Scott today and I got the wheelie bars made up, I added a little more bracing to the front, thanks for looking and comments welcome...

[tyrone]

A few more... I found an old scoop in the parts box that will work..

Tyrone.... you keep on impressing me. this is looking great and Spot on to your reference pic you posted with the wheelie bars.... I still can't wait to see what you do with a 1/16th scale build one of these days   .
