Thanks Gene. Most racing engines aren't painted so I'm pretty sure I am going with various metal shades. Boring I know but I am trying to be accurate.

I assume the Porsche is going to include the Richie Ginther version cut down windscreen.

AMT 'Super Boss' Barracuda Funny Car! Update! #16: 3/23/15
afx replied to Speedfreak's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Gene I have learned the hard way to test fit and mockup as much and as often as possible. You still my end up with an issue during final assembly but they will be a lot fewer. We all make mistakes. What's that old saying in racing; If you ain't wrecking, you ain't trying. -
Does Purple Power/Super Clean Have a Shelf Life?
afx replied to impcon's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have noticed that if you use the same batch of solution over and over again it loses its effectiveness. However I just opened a bottle that I have had for at least 3 years and it worked like a charm. -

I knew you would know Shay what I forgot. Yep plug wires, oil lines, fuel lines, coolant lines, throttle cable and maybe some ignition wiring.
-
Tim, here is a very basic wiring diagram that should get you going. An internet search always helps me when I need information like this. Do a search on the MCM forum as well. Chances are someone else has asked a similar question.

Here I have fabricated the 8-blade fan. I think I am about to the end of the engine work. I'm running out things to add to it.

Thanks Randy. I made the pulleys from tubing, sheet styrene and hex rod. Basically just stacked them up. The smaller pulleys are made from solid rod. I turned a ball bit (in a pin vise) to scallop out the ends and then pin mounted them with some .020 brass rod.

Can you post some pictures?
-
The wheels and tires a perfect Ray. I love the lines of the '59. The Bathurst 12 hr must have been exciting. Just watched the end on youtube.
-
Thanks Joe only a few more thing to add to the engine bay, a fan and a coil and I might be finished with that area.
-
Thanks Robin.
-
Nice trade with Jeff Johnston.
-
Very nice.
-
Modified an engine mounted oil filter from the parts box to create a remote oil filter. It's finally starting to look like a proper engine bay.
-
Nice work. I built this kit a few years back. It goes together like a dream. The decals are challenging but they do work.
-
Looks good Shay. Interesting how the engine bay builds up as unit then is installed on the chassis. My guess it made painting a lot easier.
-
Oil pump & distributor.
-
I would check with R&MCoMD about a restoration transkit for the Little T. I know Norm did a restoration kit for the Blue Beetle and the Black Widow IIRC. He may have all the restoration parts for the Little T, even if they are not bundled into a set.

2006 Issue.
-
Very cool. I wonder if there are decals available?
-
Nice work Tim.
-
Me too Joe. I wish I knew what kit it came out of, I would like to have a few more. It was a mess when I found it covered with paint and glue. I cleaned it as best as I could.

Another baby step. Found a decent alternator in the parts box. The alternator bracket isn't great but once all the belts are on it will be difficult to see anyway.
