Hey Dave...Looking good my friend....Glad your making progress on the 37....

Thats looking good. Not hijacking your thread but here are some pics that you asked about .I used a Muncie on mine...There were no bell housings available at the time so a friend from TDR hooked me up with a proto type.. I believe the now have bell housings available but the Shapways site is not very user friendly in that you cant search for a specific part very well..If you visit TDR's FB page and ask Tim or Don to help you find out if they have them at Shapeways...They have the big offy 252 cui available now as well

Here are the side draft stacks for the webbers in 1/8TH....If you want a little more "real" looking pieces try flaring some small aluminum tubing from the hobby shop.. might be surprised.... http://www.shapeways.com/product/PVVX26HMF/1-8-weber-side-draft-velocity-stacks?li=shop-results&optionId=14908828

Ill look it up for you bud,,Here is a pic of my TDR offy i have in a T....No manifold available for the offy that im aware of but it shouldn't be to difficult to make..Ill post the stacks here in a minute..

What engine are you using these on? TDR does sell the velocity stacks for these short and tall..they also sell a manifolds for the BBC and SBC for these as well..If its something out of the ordinary then might have to scratch build something...

Here you go...TDR has a FB page so if you need help finding anything give them a look... http://www.shapeways.com/product/XRDPXQUUZ/1-8-weber-side-draft-carburetor?li=shop-results&optionId=14907715

The hood looks great buddy....I like the stance on the 57 as well..Cool stuff

Wheels are in from Micro Nitro and im very pleased...They fit perfect and look amazing..Thanks Jim....

I received an email from Jim at Micro Nitro informing me that my wheels are done and sent me a glamour shot... they look awesome....Thought id share...

sure, ill post some soon...as well as some descriptions...Thanks for the interest...

Im liking the machined parts Bryan...This is a very clean build so far....

Thanks all... Anxious for the new wheels to arrive..Should really add to this build...Nothing beats real metal....

Thanks buddy.... Thanks Sam....I really like the little offy

Im really Itching to get back on that build but..The digger comes first...I am going to get some parts for it next week just to add to my anticipation...LOL

Hey Buddy....Glad to be here....

Glass was the biggest cost..Its 10" tall 24" wide and 48" long about 40 pounds 2 man job to remove...Does the job....

As I said in my Intro I have several works in progress...I work on each one a little at a time,,Just the way I build..Keeps it fresh..ill start a thread on each as I start back on them.. 32 chassis with a twin turbo Pontiac 23 T with an Offy 4 holer 32 3 window 427 side oiler Gen 3 Camaro Pro Touring BBC

Well....Got asked how i store my 1/8 stuff....I made a coffee table..Grand kid proof and keeps my builds clean and safe between build rounds....

It has a learning curve for sure..Im a fabricator and welder by trade so I had an advantage but is not difficult..The bending of the tube is the biggest challenge and you will have to do some creative clamping ..Like anything just takes practice ...

Ive been working on this off and on for about a year..The chassis is based on a 220" wheel base.. Its an old school new/ school build...old school power and a few modern upgrades...The engine is a "Big John " Hockney resin "Lincolnstein" V-12 with Ardun heads and fuel injection, scratch built the oil pan,dual mag set up, fuel pump and zoomies..TDR supplied the 9" and lenco as well as the clutch can and rear brakes .. Ive ordered some ET's from Micro Nitro and they should be here in a few weeks.. The body is fiberglass and is currently being puttied and shaped and should be in primer in about a week...It measures just a tick under 32" long.. Im hoping to get hot and heavy on this soon (gotta get over this crud first) ..Hope to complete it by May of this year...

My name is Mike Roby and I live in Ooltewah Tn.. Ive been modeling since young and now mainly build in 1/8th scale...I see allot of familiar names here..I have several WIP's but im concentrating on one build at the moment in hopes of completing it by May of this year for a build off im in on another forum..Ill be starting a thread for my 1/8th Lincoln V-12 powered front engine dragster soon as well as some of my other builds..
