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.

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.

Yep that trans just keeps getting better and better, the media blasting really gives a nice contrast in texture.

Atlantis Scorpion Gasser, way past time for me to do a drag car. this kit will get a lot of work done to it. I will first start with the tires, they have a very big dip in the middle where the tread would be, not crazy about that. I made an arbor on the lathe drilled, tapped and threaded for a 10-32 cap head screw added a few washers and snugged the tire down so I could use a sanding stick to true the tire up, I think it looks a little better. All comments welcome.

Nice work on that 40, you started with a bit of a mess, you cleaned it up real well.

I just logged out and back in with my e-mail, no problem here. I hope it goes as easy for everybody.

The paint looks really good, this is a really cool kit.

Great work as always Francis, those fender aprons look factory, as you said you will get a better view of that scratch built front end. I am waiting to see you start the drive train. -
Nice work on your drag car, I really like the idea of a junior stock drag racer.
