Thanks for all the comments Bob, Bill and Mike. Mike you should should just go for it, I learned what little I know by trial and error, and I do mean a lot of errors, lol.

Thanks Francis for the comment, your thoughts on the cap were the same as mine no painting needed, I am now working on the valley pan that goes under the intake manifold I will post a new pic when it's done.

Yep that is just plain awesome.

The paint and decals are looking very good.

Way past time for an update. My ignition magneto it's a tiny little bugger, the body of the magneto was turned on the lathe using nickel silver rod and the cap was made using the red styrene runners from the Skorpion gasser kit, in the front you can see the eight holes driller for the ignition wires and on top the eight copper posts for lack of a better word made from 30 guage copper wire. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out, all comments welcome.

What's not to like a 55 Chev with a hemi.

Wow nice work on that fuel tank, it looks like a piece of jewelry the finish is very smooth.

Great work on your Corvette, it's really coming together.

Looks like a very interesting project, I like the work you have done on the supercharger.

Wow Tim that linkage and those shifters are amazing, this is modeling at it's finest, also I hope you are feeling better.

Nice work on that fuel tank Francis, that little locking lever is a nice detail. I have one question is the fuel tank solid or hollow?

Nice work on that spare engine, the machine work on that air cleaner looks really good.

Wow that paint work is awesome.

Thanks for your comment Francis, after watching your builds about 3 years ago that is what inspired me to get the Sherline tools and start machining myself, thanks for that. I will be waiting for the engine and trans you will be machining also my favorite part of any model car.

Thanks for checking Francis, always glad to hear from a model builder of your high caliber. Your are correct Francis my lathe and mill and most of my tools are Sherline, I really like what they have. I am going to attempt to make a 392 Hemi block and heads, I lost one of the plastic heads so I might as well take a shot at making the entire engine, wish me luck I will need it, lol.

Time for a small update. I was able to make a moon style fuel tank and the cap on the lathe and mill, one pic of the finished tank the other of the cap mounted on a 3 jaw chuck on a rotary table on the mill. I still have to make mounts for the tank but I will have to wait till I decide about the final location. All comments welcome

Outstanding work on both the trans and engine, the two of theses are super detailed models without the body.

Beautiful work, it's hard to tell it's a model.

Great work this is my favorite Henry J. Gasser build so far.

Awesome work on your build, you put a staggering amount of detail and work into this model, you should be very proud of what you have done. I will be interested to see what you do next.

Beautiful work Francis on that battery tray and hold down, those battery cable ends are so tiny very cool detail.

Welcome, you have some really nice models.

Nice work as always Francis, I like those little mounting tabs on the overflow tank.

Great engine details, nice work on that interior, I like the shifter and dash details also.

it looks like I got a double post can one of them be deleted, sorry about that.
