Blurry preview...

Save for some touchups we can consider the engine done.

Technical question: I seem to remember being told that electric fuel pumps are pushers rather than suckers and should be installed closer to the tank than to the engine. Am I correct?

Tonight, some wiring and some carpeting.

Here I was, ready to ask you where the coil wires went on the Flamethrower and the answer came up in the image page of the internet. Thanks Bill.

Welcome Hadi. Let us see some of your art too.

What is it going to be Brian? Or is it undertermined yet?

I you contact Erik at explorer@firerods.com he might tell you what exact engine it is based upon.

I just bought this one on eBay from Firerods in Holland. Appears based on the Fujimi.

Any of that stuff offered in resin?

Yes Bill, he has Merlins. Firerods in Holland. Ma has Merlins too but he seems to have vanished.

Thee engines: Junkers Jumo 213a V12 Nissan S20 DOHC 6 Porsche 356 1500GS 4

Thank you Carl. It is Rustoleum painter choice "Grape Gloss". I had that left over from the Big Al motor I had built for my Dodge Bighorn.

Turns out the steering works. However, it interfered with the oil pan. First I notched it;then I got smart, put it back together and turned it around. Work continues on the engine. We also have paint

What a beauty!

Loving it.

Decanted some paint today to be able to use it in the airbrush. I used the straw method. It went well, none of my usual messes. Working on small stuff tonight. Making an attempt at poseable steering. Started on the fuel feed lines to the carbs.

Drilled and pegged a set of Packard headlights. If they wind up being too big I'll look for something else. Added a molding to the edge of the notch in the fenders so it looks a bit more "finished". Hollowed out the headers. The 430 fuel pump is up front on top of the water pump. there is none on the model engine so I'll fab an electric fuel pump which is appropriate for a hot rod anyway. I'm open to suggestions as to where to mount it. This the material I'll use.

Found some headers that might work. this way I won't have to use the '80 Bronco manifolds. Headers seem to be a dime a dozen while manifolds are another story. Had to notch the fenders to get clearance. This will also preclude the use of the inner fenders.

I'd like to hear the sound that makes. I've seen stock ones you couldn't hear at all.
