    Tim this is truly amazing work! I honestly think there isn’t enough adjectives to express the excitement on what you are creating. Thank you for the link on the Porsche restoration, great stuff. It will help immensely. take care Chris

    So... After making a major mess of the rear engine cage, I finally got back on track. I have most of it complete. I just need to verify what color I need to paint it. I have photos of the restored car, and it’s black. I have wondered if the actual color was bare aluminum. If anyone knows that would be very helpful. Thank you for looking Chris

    Outstanding as always Tim, I will admit super jealous of your abilities doing machining. I can see why you need to think out every process to get your end results. Can’t wait for more progress sir! I also wish I lived more closer to see this in person. It would be a real treat.

    Very cool subject, your off to a great start! If I remember they are very popular in the New York and eastern part of the country.

    Exhaust manifolds and started rear chassis. Took most of my Saturday evening and most of Sunday to get this far. The rear frame is a bear to get the fitment just right. I had a lot of tweaking and re checking to try to get it as square as I could. Thanks for looking Chris

    Cool stuff, thank you!

    I have no doubt about it Bruce, after your p4 I am hoping to equal the result

    I spent the last few days when I had the time in between chores and work, I managed to get the velocity stacks assembled and the fuel injection lines plumbed. As always thanks for looking... Chris

    Plug wires installed...

    Cool car for sure, coming along nicely.

    More work done on the engine! I have had some of these pieces assembled and sitting off to the side. I am enjoying this build so far, looking forward to spark plug wires and getting the fuel injection plumbed. Thanks for looking Chris

    I did some more on the engine parts, I have the pulleys painted and also the fuel injection pump is assembled. thanks for looking Chris

    That would be great Tim, I could use all the help I can get? I am very interested in what color the inside of the bonnet and cockpit is. I am leaning towards off white or a very light grey.

    I managed to get some color on the engine ? I am primarily using Alclad for most of the engine parts. I have painted the engine block magnesium and the cylinders and heads burnt iron. still a lot more to do, but I am pleased with where I am at. Chris

    Not too much accomplished today, but I did manage to gather up most every part for step 1. I got them all dry fitted after some massaging with a file, drilled most of the holes. Now I need to wash parts, prime parts and hopefully the paint will arrive soon so I can get some color on these.

    I did some poking around, and yes gravity colors does carry that shade of purple!!
  22. Chris Smith
    Thank you for your kind words! I do appreciate it.
  23. Chris Smith
    I have not done the wings yet. And I have never attempted foil. I am curious if it can handle decals on that type of surface?
  24. Chris Smith
    Thank you for the encouragement! Im sure if you could find a way to get one, I am sure you could do a great job on it.
  25. Chris Smith
    I started by dry fitting the engine cylinders, and making sure everything lined up, I am learning that you have to think 5 steps ahead to make sure everything lines up, there is quite a bit of drilling and filing that needs to be done to make sure everything goes together well. What I have is about 3 1/2 hours of work and not even close to getting paint on it.
