no, i haven't abandoned the mike hill '69 camaro. hopefully i'll be able to get back to it soon. in the mean time i started this roadster. it will be a salt flat car. it may not be 100% correct. it's mostly a fun kinda build.

 

i already started the motor. it's an ardun headed v-12 w/ a 16-71 roots blower.

 

 

 

 

 

 

i spent some time building this liberty 5 speed for a salt flat project i started.

 

i had some fre time this weekend and i need a break from the '37 so i started a new motor project. it will be a sonny leonard semi hemi headed, new century aluminum block, big block chevy. ilove the valve covers on these motors so that's where i started.

 

 

for the block i used a standard bbc resin casting that was cast off my master and modified the heck out of it.

 

 

here's the finished unit.

 

 

next i made a jesel style cam belt drive. also a dist. belt drive. finally a balancer.

 

 

test fit of the drives turned out pretty good.

 

 

hopefully i'll get some more time soon to do a little more.

i am looking for anyone with actual hands on experience with the maker bot brand. i am considering investing in one and would like to hear input from any one that actually owns or works with one.


i am not looking to start a discussion on the pros and cons nor the viability of 3-d printing. please, there is no need to reply to this, if you have no actual hands on experience.

thank you.

i was wondering if anyone was aware of a company that produced a '37 chevy pro mod body? if worse came to worse. i would like to know if any model companies made a '37 chevy kit?

thanks for any answers you may have.
