hi daniel thanks for the kind words. hi pierre thanks for looking and taking the time to comment. its always nice to hear from new people .got a little more done on the webers. still need to make the carb linkage and the water line for the intake manifold. have drilled and taped the head to bolt the intake and exhaust on. 00-90 bolts for both. when they are finished i will go back to the flywheel and triple disc clutch.

Wow , just amazing.another master to push me to be better. So much fun to look at your work.i will be back more often.

Nice project,really nice work.i will keep up with one.very unique

Yeah,color awesome.i like when its finally color time.looks great.

got a little more done on the webers and machined the head to match the intake. i have several more days on the carburator,linkage and brackets. i also have the water lines to do on the intake.

hi francis the demon body is looking awesome . as always the detail is beyond my scope. hi daniel ,very nice to hear from you. thankyou for your comments. i am glad people enjoy it. the front engine mounts are started also working on the carb. parts

thanks for your comments and thanks for looking.i am still working on the transmission and shifter , alot of small parts . i would like to finish the transmision so i can finish the engine mounts on the front of the engine. very happy with it all so far. thank kurt i have always liked those wheels. i have to get back on those webers soon randy ,alot of detail left on them . hi ken thanks for your compliments , nice to hear from you. i am going back to work part time, that will cut into my shop time some. will keep you posted on my progress

i have started the transmission and scatershield. the shield is modeled after the mcloed shield and the transmission is early muncie 4 speed. alot of filling and sanding time in the front case. i am going to make a multi disc clutch . i havent decided of which manufacturer

hi andrew your project is really looking great. its going to be awesome done and in color. keep up the great updates.

every time i come here i learn something new. if i could only remember i learned. very ingenious.

hi andrew,i use a 2 part casting resin. i cast a in square container or something round ,whatever is big enough for me to machine the part i want to make. the fairing on the back i made from wood just to get the radius the way i wanted and then cast a block in a small rectangular box and recarved it from that. the brand name is SRC but I'm sure there are plenty of quality brands.hi francis wow, your grill is fantastic. your whole project is so nice.

thank you francis. very nice to hear from you tom. i have been moving forward ,coming up with ideas along the way. the beadroller works well.rear suspension is complete except the shocks. made the rollbar fairing in wood to get a final shape and then pored a square block of 2 part urethane and recarved it. got the mid plate engine mount done and the mounts for it soldered on the frame . the front engine mount are next. brake drums and backing plates are done .alot of the parts are things i have made in the past few years and am now putting together in this project. thanks for checking in.

hi francis nice to hear from you.mike i hit submit without the pictures. what do you think blackwall or white wall ?

hi noel it is brass that i anealed to soften . the engine is all hand made aluminum and plastic. i frncis your new project is fantastic !!! a couple of pictures for mike

yes claude it is or was. it is a glue bomb i got on ebay. there is a lower die .i will take a picture without the metal so you can see and post it later this week. the bead is .040 wide and the female is .050 wide. same with the depth. i wish i had a little extra money i would build a better and stronger one of aluminum .it does work fine but the throat is not guite deep enough.

hi tim ,hope you are doing better.my brother inlaw just went through this same situation and had the vert. fused in his neck.he is on the last 3 weeks of a 9o day neck brace and says he feels great. i dont know if i could do that. keep us up to date on your progress.

thank you very much Ian. glad you enjoyed it so far.

very nice Francis . this is going to be my favorite of all your awesome projects. check out my bead roller on my latest project.

thank you all for you comments. hi andrew. yes paul it is 1/8 scale. finally got the body chopped up and back together again. i took 1.750 out of the body front to rear. i guess thats about 14 inches. cut the bottom off and had to pie cut the cowl 1/8 at the top to 0 on the bottom to get it to look right. narrowed the frame but its not done. i made a hammer form to make the tear drop shaped blisters for the places that protrude out side the body , it seems to work well. i also took time and alot of scrap stuff ,to make a bead roller.it works well also. i am going to make some different dies for it. the only die so far is the bead. got the nose partly mounted. i am going to finish the floor i have started and then the interior aluminum. thanks for looking, charlie

you put me to shame francis ,but i learn more from you each time i come on here.

hi francis, thanks for your complements. sorry i havent been around for awhile. i have still checked on you and cody.i like your new project alot.

i am taking a break from my camaro project to start on this 32 ford. it is jaguar powered , will have a quickchange rear and straight axle frontend.i narrowed the roadster body 1.750 inches and removed .375 from the bottom edge so far .rebent and narowwed the frame which is solid .250 brass. got a start on the engine and the webber carbs, just started on them.spent the last few days on a nose for it in brass.i carved a block of plastic to the general shape .hieght and length not finalize yet. i anealed .045 brass several times during the process of shrinking and hammering to fit. can't hammer on the buck very much,its to fragile. i use a lot of dollies, most i have formed myself. please take a look and leave your comments lookin forward again to hearing from you all,charlie

hi everybody ,sorry i haven't been around for awhile. sort of lost interest in my current camaro project, that sometimes happens. we did alot of traveling so that really cut in to my progress. as of late i have been doing remodeling on our house so it all ate alot of days and weeks. i have gotten back in the sho, but started a different project, a jaguar powered 1932 ford saltlakes car. i will get back to the camaro in the future. i have a few pictures of the camaro project. thank you all for your interest.

This is my 4th time back to look. Incredible.
