MCM Avid Poster (5/6)

  1. the supercharger is coming together. i got the manifold 3/4 done and the blower is starting to look like the picture. got a long way to go but it will look good. connecting the blower to the bell housing will be a project in itself. i want to get the so engine and transmission done so i can finish the frame, the floor and the firewall. hope the next update mill have the blower mounted to the engine
  2. working on the blower today . i wanted to make it with as few pieces as possible. 3 pcs for the main section. next are the end plates.
  3. When i worked for jack roush in nascar i was lucky enough to get to his museum in lavonia. Very cool place.
  4. hi randy amazing work . i have learned a lot from you and your your updates. your car will be just a work of art. keep the up dates coming
  5. the engine is coming together. i really like this engine . you may have noticed that.
  6. And i thought building a body from scratch was a lot of work.looks great pierre
  7. hi tim probably just my usual aluminum and brass. with some info from andrew , he was here at my shop today ,maybe some german silver. andrew thanks for the visit and the pictures , always great to have visitors. big John, WOW, thank you so much. that is great. where did you get that from? i am going to have it blown up to hang on my wall.
  8. THEY REALLY DO LOOK ALOT LIKE THE OFFY. sorry about the caps lock. i have a good start on the offy and am excited about the roots type blower. it looks great. sometimes it gets a little messy.
  9. hi tim, so nice to hear from you . this project has been a major under taking, planing as i go along. i have decided on an engine finally. do to engine compartment size i am doing another offy 270 with a super charger.machining the engine is allways my favorite part. i am still struggling with what to do for front suspension. i am drawing up 2 different front ends trying to decide. thanks again for your comments
  10. here is a couple of pictures of the offy i did two projects ago. i thought maybe the supercharge engine. the miller 91 scales to 6.25 inches not including the supercharger on the back or the distributer on the front. dont have enough room. since this has never been a real car how abought a six cyl. supercharged offy or miller, same thing? got the 2 front wheels assembled. got to anodize them tomorrow, and install the wires. andrew allan and john,thanks for your inout,greatly appreciated. also working on the front suspension as well
  11. Car looks great pierre.going to be awesome when its done,glad u didnt give up
  12. hi pierre,noel and allen, glad you are still looking and commenting. thank you for your encouraging words. building 2 more wheels. finally have 4 fenders. got ll the wheel parts machined except the gazillion holes for the wires . about half of those. i came up with a great idea,now that they are almost done. i did a little reseach on ebay for stainless steel needles and found them about .032 dia. 1.5 inches long would be perfect for wire wheels. next time. hey , what about a miller 91 supercharged straight 8? somebody suggested 2 offy 4 cyl together. thoughts?
  13. hi francis and randy, still working on fenders . will start on the forth one tomorrow. it takes a few days. i think the tire size is perfect the wheels fit the style of the car well. i am trying to get as close to the pictures as i can. thinking about colors now. got to decide on the engine and transmission and what the front suspension will be. i need the engine and transmission to build the firewall. more pictures when i finish the other fender
