  3. Great looking engine Justin
  4. Outstanding work Dino.
  5. Shes got that million dollar shine. Top shelf!
  6. Forgot to show the 4 banger... All done. Thanks for watching. As I build more animation, I'll stick em here
  7. sorry, not many pictures, but you get the idea of how I did it. Once I get started I keep going. I did run into a small setback. When I add things such as the heads and intake I'll test along the way to make sure the motor spins. Well after painting and almost at this stage, something bound up and since these motors lack any torque, I bumped the juice a bit. Sometimes this gets things spinning again. Not this time. I began to smell something like cooking electronics. Ugh! I had to pull it apart and add a new motor. All I need to do now is paint the fan and glue it in place. Should finish today.
  8. Wow, that's A LOT of yellow! Nice job!
  9. Here's the Chevy 396 I just started. First thing I did was grab a motor. I got them from Amazon. I'm into electronics so I always have a few lying around. I cut a small piece of 1/8" styrene rod and drilled a 1/32" hole in the end and slide it over the motor shaft. If it's not a snug fit, start over. Next I cut a small raft for the motor to sit on inside the engine block. Super glue the motor to the raft. Eyeball about where it best fits in the block and cut the block as needed. Drill 2 small holes in the block, I made mine near the starter for the wire leads. I tied a knot in the wire so it wont accidentally pull out. Solder the other ends of the wire to the motor. Then assemble. I drilled out the water pump and the fan belt assembly so the fan shaft can stick thru. Stay tuned, more to come.
  10. Wow that fits in there nicely. Great color too

    Next up is a '29 Ford 4 cylinder. From the Revell '29 Ford 3 'n 1 Rat Rod kit. The fan spins freely on it's own from vibration.
  12. I've got one of these in the chamber too. I'm liking the look of yours
  13. Looking good but you might have to trim a little more off the firewall when you add the valve covers
  14. This is gonna be great. I cant wait to see more progress
  15. I collect and race 60s HO slot cars. When people get drunk it called blotto. I'm drunk on slot cars.
  16. You're off to a killer start. Go go go
  17. Cool idea Jim
  18. Nice, lots of great details
  19. Excellent build. Very realistic

    I just finished up another one. This time it's the 400ci Oldsmobile from the AMT '66 Olds 442 W30 kit. I left off a valve cover so you can see the rockers
  23. Sweet builds. I just picked this kit up last night
