72 Charger

Bill / Terry thank you very much for your help in finding those drawings of the plumbing . Im not to sure if I will add all those lines but I will add some to make it look busy . I have tryed to add a pic of what Ive got done so far but it says they are to big Thanks again Dave

Wow Bill thats a great add $350 for a surplus engine. Is that tube down the side of the block the water pipe?

Jeffery that's fantastic . I will have to repaint my 352 soon

Thanks Bill I just assumed that it was Air cooled

That's some great info guys thanks. I need to find out how to pipe it up with water fuel and electrickery . But im assuming that when the Allison engine was in an aircraft it would of been air cooled?

Very interesting Dale I will be watching .

Interesting I look forward to seeing more.

Hi Tony you will meet some very nice & helpful people on here . If you have a Question about a kit or how to do something there is always somebody who knows . Just ask I look forward to seeing your Loanstar. Dave

Hi has anyone built a rig with an Allison aircraft engine in before? . This is a project that Ive been planning for a bit . I have the engine already and a few other parts like the cab and axels . Im using the P****d off Pete as reference . But I have not seen any Rat Rigs with the Allison engine in. Does anyone know what this engine was used in (other that aircraft or tractor pulling) Thanks Dave

Oh my that is nice What do you think the rims and tyres will run at for 10 for a rig?

Dat's gunna be sweeeeeet ;)Im really likin the paint so far . Nice red !

Nice save there I like the weathering

Casey those springs look fantastic . Your axel is not seated all the way to the springs BTW.

I have a futura too Bill and I was a bit stumped on the correct colour too . I think that your approach in theory sounds good . But as there was only one car and that was repainted then who is to say what is correct?!

Thanks for that Steven. I hope to be getting a 58 ford soon

Hey Rich I could not help but take a second look at your fantastic Buick and I noticed that your up top cover seems to be floating? Is it something that could be fixed or not?

Whats the best way to remove those floor plugs? Great build BTW

I like it and the burn outs

I would go with the modern rims Sam That's one tough looking rig

That's looking good Charles . Where was the grill from?

Nice one doc just needs the side trim doing in BMF

I was just about to say (Is that the Rover 3.5 V8 ) Didn't the Anglia gasser come with that engine too?

Ive tried it on a cab before but I found that it wont stay down if you go over raised detail like rivets and door hinges . So you get paint bleed through . I would say try Tamiya tape cut into thin strips say 1mm wide . It will give a bit on bends and wont lift over details

Cool I think I will have to steal a few ideas from you for my own build.

Sam I know just how you feel . I spent hours and hours trying to get a spiral just right even using flexible masking tape! . After painting it I was just annoyed with it so it got stripped (still waiting to get repainted) I think I will try the Diamond pattern instead .
