Working on the boring bar towers. those are adjustable in real life but will be fixed here, I had to select the block I want to mount in there in order to be able to set the height of the towers. And since the block will be bare, I have to plug some holes. Started making cardboard patterns which will be transferred to plastic.

Here are a few preliminary photos of the completed line boring machine. It looks very rough in the closeups but reasonably clean in an overall photo. More to fallow later.

The shop has just completed a 1937 Chevy 216. It is being readied for shipping,

The resin drill press I had purchased came with an optional bench base. I decided to start building the head for it. There is some styrene bits, part of a ball point pen barrel, a big rig hub, part of an oil pan and part of a blower scoop.

And here are all three of them together, illustrating the development of the Mopar six. 1941 Plymouth flathead, Slant six and the 3.5 Prowler V6.

I'm not convinced the stanchions and chain are such a good idea.
