  1. Thanks guys. Next is to figure out a roll-in roll-out dolly that fits on a fork lift, gets deposited at the rear of the trailer and pushed in by hand.
  2. Never even thought of that.As far as the plug wires go, iused a 3D printed distributor with a hollow in the center. I bunched the wires and glued them in there then I threaded them though the two little tubes. I use clear .5mm rubber cord and paint them. Glad you like it.
  3. Mitsubishi 4G63t. DOHC,16v, L4. 2L/144hp.
  4. It is a big book. I’ll put on my reading glasses and maybe I can tell.
  5. Looks like the rod will succeed in keeping the roof/box straight.
  6. I thought about epoxy. I glued an aluminum rod in the inner outside curve of the roof to see if it will hold it straight. we'll see.
  7. I think the only other one I have seen is the Audi R8. And of course a few industrial engines.
  8. Glad you like it.
  9. Dodge V10. OHV V10, 488 cu.in./300 hp.
  10. The guys have monted a Dodge V10 to the dyno trolley in preparation for a dyno run.
  11. When I attempted to glue the end hinges one came off the roof, the corner of the box came apart so I retired the project for the time being until the urge to fling it against the wall passes.
  12. The hinges displace the panel downwards so I had to trim the edge. Now the lines won't match. I had to use the heavy equipment to clamp the hinges to the side panel.
  13. That is something the 3D printers should do, at least the intakes.
  14. I saw one on the internet in a newer Chrysler. Kit was $179.00. I don’t think so. Will keep looking.
  15. thanks. Now i have to go hunting.?
  16. The trailer itself is done save for the fenders which need another coat of paint. Glued the panel hinges ro the roof. The white bar is to keep the roof straight while the glue dries. It has a bow to it. Clear plastic isn't malleable like styrene so I did not dare bend it backwards.
  17. Thanks Carl. It is from the AMT Shelby Charger kit.
  18. Cut the driver's side to make the flip up panel. wish me luck.
  19. This will be a trailer to display engines at car shows. I will use AMT's display case trailer and go from there. It will have a flip up side and likely a platform along the side for people to stand on to view the engines on display. The original discussions are in this thread: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/151869-a-few-questions-about-the-next-build/
  20. Dodge 2.2T. SOHC turbocharged,l4, 148 to 175 hp.
  21. I should perhaos move the axle back to relocate the fulcrum.
  22. X2 and then some.
