Jantrix Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Russel, spring is a busy time on my farm so I haven't been in the hobby room much unfortunately. I hope to get back in in July when it's too blasted hot to spend a great amount of time outdoors working.

rustybill1960 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Knowing that and coming from a farming background myself, I salute you I will be waiting for your return to the bench then Respectfully Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a bad news/good news situation. The front end might look a little weird, but these Vette/Miata type karts aren't generally built by professionals in a custom shop, but rather by Mr. Joe Average, with a Sawzall and a welder. Designs always seem a bit wonky and borderline street legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a long history of automotive mayhem it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 A little work on the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 HI! interesting idea, and great execution. Those injectors are great, they look more in line with the "mission" of the car than the vertical tubes you used at the beginning. Bravo!

The original plan for this was something of a super rat rod. When I decided on the kart idea, it was easy to switch gears. Dennis Neal, a friend and terrific modeler on my Facebook modeling page suggested the 3D printed injectors after he'd done one. It was a no brainer really. I'll hit the interior parts with some dullcoat today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 This is back on the bench and will be done soon! Like my '37 I have decided against some of the extra details I planned to add so that I could actually get the model done. Under Glass soon!
