  1. Amazing. This forum doesn't work at all now on my Internet Explorer. Had to go into Google Chrome to get it. On the other one I only see part of the stuff. Anyway, do you think I can swing this? Never did a correct firing order before. At least I have the coils in the right position. Added the wires, the rad hoses and the air intake.
  2. Gator, that tank isn't glued yet and the outrigger clears it if it isn't retracted fully, but yes, I think I'll move it back a bit. The crane is assembled. Still needs paint & detailing.
  3. Put the base of the crane together with masking tape and tried it on for size. It is a better fit all right. It still doesn't clear the tank which will have to be moved further back a bit. Had to notch a crossmenber to clear the transmission, but it should work OK.
  4. The Italeri crane for my L-700. Ordered from England.
  5. That last one was supposed to be this:
  6. Swapped the Viper six-speed for the L-700 five-speed. added the manifolds and some wash detail to the engine. Found out that the type of coil pack in the previous post is a Viper application and the type I had started is from the Ram V-. So I finished those of that type I had begun earlier.
  7. Joe, is that a personalized bottle behind the cab?
  8. Not on the road but on a truck at the Flying J, about $300,000 of Aston Martin Vantage.
  9. If you look at the last picture in the previous post, this engine has this type of coil, however it has only the four post one. IO think making a six post one like this will be easier.
  10. Those are real nice Clayton. Belong to the boss or you?
  11. Added the wheels. Will use the V10's own rad with electric fans as well as the Viper type air intake. Started on the plug boots. I see I have some straightening to do.
  12. What can I say after all this praise. I hope mine turns out half as good. Absolutely maaaahvellous.
  13. Painted a lot of little parts. Made some adapters for the V10 headers to round pipe. Started fabricating some coil packs. When working with things smaller than a toothpick, a fellow's age comes to the surface.
  14. Spasibo, moy,drug. Sorry don't know the Russian alphabet.
  15. Dmitry, I see it on the link you provided but my Russian is pretty poor. It is not on the English IXO site I went to. Does it say there on the Russian site whether it is still in production?
  16. Thanks Dmitry. Looks like they have nice ones too, however I'd be interested in old classics.
  17. The KFS crane may very well end up on one of the Paystars I just got. Back to the Dodge, I find the wheels slightly larger than the tire openings. Would warming up the tires help slip them on?
  18. Just ordered the Effer crane. This forum is expensive. Everytime I see something I run out & order it.
  19. We may have to leave the outriggers down all the time.
  20. Seems like all the details are there. Won't look like a toy.
  21. Gator, do you still believe that crane is too big? It sure has some heft to it.
