I would be willing to buy a few. Let me know. I could scale it down, but some of the finer details will probably be lost. You'd still have to make your own distributor housing and vacuum advance canisters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 I added the sand-cast texture to the block. Notice the freeze plugs and timing cover are not textured. It still needs another coat of paint, but not until the oil and water plugs are added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Thanks Anton! Thermostat housing and fuel pump block off. The kit part didn't match my intake manifold. I was able to thin out the kit's block off plate. I machined the aluminum bolts on both parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 I finished the water pump after texturing it as well and making the aluminum mounting hardware and the plug for where the heater hose would go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Thanks Guys!! I made the head bolts and acid treated them because they were too bright. Added a little grunge too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Thanks guys. I use hydrochloric acid. It is NOT friendly to aluminum, or concrete for that matter. Be very careful if you experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
