Easy Run Engine Test Stand Something Different

Recommended Posts

I thought I would take a break and do something different. As seem on Graveyard Cars is the Easy Run  Test stand. Need to finish the control panel wire harness and throttle controls. I plan to make the decals from pictures from Easy Run's website.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

This has been a fun build and thought it would be cool to display in a small case on my office desk.  All the pieces are  Evergreen and Plastruct with some square brass tubing. Small plastic bolts finishes it off. The wheels are made from the round ends of ski poles for the spokes. They are from the MPC 69 Grand Prix. Evergreen tubing for the tires. The radiator has P/E radiator mesh with Model Car Garages P/E electric fan. 

I wish it was easy enough to cast in resin but I'm not that good in making two piece molds. 

Thanks again enjoy this Memorial Day and think of our troops.

Wow, Bobby,somthing,tells me,if you wanted to cast copy s of that you could do it w/one hand behind your back! AWESOME stuff bro

Thanks every one for your great comments.

Shaun, I appreciate your comments. I'll talk to my friend Kevin Lutz if he wants to cast. I would have to make a new one that is dissembled.

Thanks guys. I spoke with Kevin at Missing Links today, he's willing to take a shot at this if I make a second unassembled stand. I don't want to get your hopes up too high as this will take awhile because I want to get my 63 Plymouth Super Stock ready for him to assess and possibly cast. Just wish there was more time in a day. But it's all worth it!
