Wonderful info thank you...the 426 HEMI around 500 hp ( true figures) high 400s torque close to 500...you are preaching to the converted i love the VH
-
Some $$$ to build! thank you.
-
56 cubic inches less and 2 cylinders...how do you explain that? yes i know a lighter car! i am a bit obsessed with this! and i am not your enemy who did the test? what are the gears/ratios? your telling me how it is..If you enjoy that then fair enough and i get why building and explaining wonderful cars a good thing.(it is) thank you Michelle.
-
I am sorry as much as i love the car it can not compete with the 426 HEMI.. i like your work i know not a six pack carb setup on the e55 i thought obvious take the compliment.
-
Nice build! I was at a car show and everyone was loving one of these on display,the owners were having fun! then this old guy turned up and drove the car away...it turned out to be there father and the party was over
-
Wonderful work! i have not seen this show i did grow up watching prisinor cell block H,Bee Smith hard as nails! you are top Dog Michelle due to your cool builds here.

And a Ragtop 71?
-
Wonderful! of course the 6 pack the one 1:1...but still a slant six...this with the T/A,AAR 340 Six Pack 4 speed RHD would be the ultimate A body Mopar...i love it Michelle you have taste

You will never achieve perfection! no living member will,i am not going to cry for you because She looks good!
-
I love the Red one! all very nice cars.325 bhp is more than i need to cruise around in...a car i will seriously consider when ready to buy thank you.
-
That must have been an eye opener and inspiration!
-
Decals yes! i do not use tweezers for anything else due to me heavy handed and the part i am holding ends up in orbit! Space X/NASA can learn about free launche power using them....the problem is me not the tweezers!

The Banana Splits
Tyreman replied to Dragline's topic in All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures
Amazing! i just can not bring myself to buy the kit been in the UK...the base space 99 kit Ampercat or Two quality Tamiya car kits same money...not your problem and i like your work -
What is your favorite sports car?
Tyreman replied to WillyBilly's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have never wanted a Sports car (honest) if so then any AC Cobra. -
426 Hemi "separator plate" color (colour)?
Tyreman replied to Rodent's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
it appears to be painted at the same time as the block...so exposed edge engine colour...if just a model of assembled engine? do not worry...HEMI orange.... just behind the oil pan i would think only where paint can reach? so some unpainted metal yes...but i am no expert! i know The muscle car modler talks about this in one video it sounds familiar so i think not much paint behind the oil pan? -
New F1 movie. Anyone interested??
Tyreman replied to gbdolfans's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I Can not stand F1 despite living in the UK....i have not seen the movie yet but know i will like it visually. -
Hunter and the old man the best! all truth but serious amount of time to take in...... keep simple to start yes..... Mark must decide how he wants to builld? i would suggest hpi guy for a Youtube start....most of the hobby no Youtube! just build and see how it turns out? nothing to discourage them comparing to other builders,if they attend a show or buy scale auto they are already hooked and can cope with realising not world number 1 The internet can clip peoples wings confidence wise before they even start seeing other peoples work...something relatively new... and they see the best edit/example of peoples work.... so intimidating if new...we never had this in the past.
-
Your welcome and love it! the older Cadillacs with the Northstar V8 worthless here....i would buy and take the gamble...enjoy while it last could get 60k miles...yes i know the heads can be fixed prior to failing...your car does not have that problem...you have a good eye and taste Sir.
-
It is true....we are talking some years ago! friend offered me a Chrysler VIP for next to nothing and i was not interested...that was a valiant RHD 4 door 318 V8 with leather interiour made for south africa...how many where made? another friend had a RHD valiant that ran 11s in the quarter mile...the whole car for sale for under $2k it ended up broken up and motor in a more desirable Mopar....special luxary AMCs 4 doors just for UK same sad story....still some left in South Africa some good news.

LOL lets not put Mark off! all one needs but essential is Nippers...a half round file... sharp blade and that will do!(to start) i also use sandpaper...a pack of automotive various grits cut to sizes i need....i also use sanding sticks....the womens nail ones perfect.... 5 grits on one stick for £1... of course i use more tools now! but could get buy just those basics... for the price of a kit all the tools one needs for a good start $30 max...important to start with the tools in hand to develop good practices before lazy habbits that are hard to break..tools more important than kit buying.. it may seem silly when you are new to spend $$$ on tools instead of kits for the stash....but worth every penny and makes building stress free....saves money in the longrun...no builds one scraps because you did not have the tools at the time and now know better and not happy with the result.

Welcome and good taste!
