    It’s a build-off on another forum, it’s over on July 1st 2025. So gotta hustle on this one.

    Woohoo, the mail man brought me a present today. Got my engine decals and the PE dash gages (for the custom dash).

    Getting the turbo intercooler lines worked out. Yes that is heat shrink tube, think it’s gonna work.

    Trying to come up with air conditioner lines from the Freon pump to the firewall. the smaller on looks better and I think it represents the idea.

    Love it, watching

    It’s kinda taking a back seat at the moment, got rivets to do and repaint the hood and fender. The Autocar has taken priority as it will be in a competition, so it’s front and center. Then back to the beer truck.

    Bench time has been minimal during holiday but making progress. Adding extensions to the turbo for heat shrink tubing connectors, also some PE stuff arrived.

    Now I have found a resource for all the elbows I need to plumb this engine. Going thru runners looking for the correct diameter and curves, new use for runners that we throw away.

    Great tip Brian, woohoo, I think it worked.
  18. Gary Chastain
    Thanks Brian for that tip, I have a roll of this chrome contact paper (unknown where it came from. I try that out. How wide did you cut it?

    Finally found some red shrink tubing that just fits over .125 plastic rod (3.125 scale inches). I want to replicate the engine in the pictures and will be using a custom color on the motor ( no rules build). So need some help, what can I use for the silver clamps on the red hoses?

    Nice looking truck

    Two afternoons to make the air exchanger for the turbo.
  22. Gary Chastain

    Test Fitting a Cummins NTA 370 into the Autocar, pretty snug fit, will be able to use the radiator for that engine ( fits in the grill opening)
