Chariots of Fire Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Got some weathering done, or should I say oily dirt. Perhaps just a bit more high lighting to bring out some detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The engine looks great, but it sounds kind of like the valves need to be adjusted. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chariots of Fire Posted January 26, 2020 Author Share Posted January 26, 2020 With the engine basically done the front end of the chassis can be worked on. Springs and front axle are in place and set with U-bolts and some small beads. The steering knuckles have been made of brass tubing, both round and square. One side of the square tubing was removed to make a C section. The round tubing has been soldered to form a pivot point inside the wheel. With proper backing and setting in place the front wheels will be posable. The cab sits a bit high in the front because of the radiator. Some trimming on both the top of the radiator and the inner portion of the hood will bring it down to where it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
