The new and "improved?" chassis.
The axles stubs were broken so I used the axle from the Ilmor Chevy Indy engine i built recently and cut it at the flanges. perfect fit.
There is only one tailight lens. I'll make one from these truck lenses.
Fitting the six.
Actually yesterday but finished installing it today. A new motor for my mini lathe. The old one had started smoking . It was something like 40 years old and had powered my bench grinder for years. I had hooked it up to the lathe as it had the exact specs required. If this one lasts as long, it should be my last.
In the spirit of the 2018 challenge I decided to salvage an old racer and set it up with an inline 8.....from a 1930 Packard. We'll see what comes out. First step is to de-race the racer.
Here are mine. One cabinet, bought for $30 at a flea market. Added glass shelves which cost more than the cabinet. One overall photo and some closeups.
I also have a small cabinet in my wife's sewing/craft room which houses the redos and my engine collection.
Beautiful story with a nice ending. Or are we at chapter 2? I just ordered one from RMR, a model, that is. I'm sure you will enjoy this a lot. Are you planning to just maintain and use sparingly or to restore it? They are priginal only once.
