mr68gts Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Thanks guys! So I decided to cut the mid plate out. I did this one in plastic but will cut the final one in aluminum. It is actually sitting on the bellhousing dowels in the block! So with all this hard work, I had to mock it up in the chassis to see how it looks. Well....BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH...... Color me motivated now! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine is spectacular. cheers, tim Thanks Tim, It's getting there and I am glad I have gone back in a reworked much of it! It's severely pushed the project back however. I got involved with a little detail contest online where it was just a section (engine or interior) so it's pushed me to get it done.

Thanks Dave, I still have some issues on occasion, especially when changing types of resin. Printing in the trailer has also added to the difficulties of it all as it is not easy to print where we are now! (dirt lot and the printer is in the basement lol) I did have it at work for a while but printing at work had it challenges too! Like if there is an issue I can't easily correct it since the computer is here at home. Also, I appreciate all the help you have given me with this project! Much of it couldn't happen without your assistance! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr68gts Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Haven't touched this in a while but this is where I'm at now. Probably going to wait for house to be finished to continue on. Its too difficult to build something this complicated in the trailer! (41' fifth wheel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr68gts Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Slowly getting there! At 1:1 scale currently! Orange line in the rear view is the 1/4 panel at the middle of the rear tire.

Rendering pulled from the internet and sized 1:1 scale from some minor dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dave! I'm going to need all the luck I can get haha! Major undertaking is putting it mildly! I am learning surfacing as I go which is making it difficult to get the required results.

matad311 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Paul, the injector and spacer came out really good! Glad to help out with that. Been a year since my last check in but still following along with this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr68gts Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 I've redone the whole engine since last being in here and this is how it sits so far. I'm waiting on hardware to show up from Australia then I can continue on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr68gts Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Working on the rear end, I've gotten it pretty well straightened out and am now working on the 4 link bars at this time. RB Motion doesn't make the Heim joints in the size I need so I am making machining my own! Hypodermic tubing will be here Monday and all I've got left to do is machine the rotors and the remaining hardware. I also need to machine the tube adapters for the 4 link bars. Hopefully by end of next week I can start 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not call Robert. honestly didn't even dawn on me to call him lol. I ended up ordering 2 ft long pieces of SS hypodermic tubing which will be here Monday so I'm deep in it lol. Still have 2 more to profile then I can mill and drill them. Then onto the nuts...... Jeesh when does it end lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
