Hi everyone I'm building a monster truck and I'm wondering what the hoses coming from the valve covers on both sides are connected to?
-
Looks like the engine will sit "in scale" about maybe 3 1/2 - 4" in comparison to the real truck I used the Raminator and 97 F-150 engine to build this monster engine I'm satisfied with the outcome ❤️ 👍😎
-
I'm trying not to make a mess of the engine so far I'm satisfied with the look of the chassis and engine together looking great 💯😎👍
-
Where can I post some pictures of the monster truck Show I was at yesterday?
-
Here's a small update on this monster engine finally finished the hoses and lines just a few things left and I think we'll be done 👍
-
I want to build a realistic truck that looks like those "monster" trucks hoping I can do that in the future 😜 😁
-
Getting further along with this and as I near closer to the end I'm plagued by more ideas do any of the forum members remember these things 🎆🎉😊
-
Slowly getting better 💪 😀
-
And we're steadily rolling along as usual I will get some more progress done as I continue with this monster engine 👍😎
-
It's my first crack at this, mostly using tons of reference photos and about 10% imagination it's going well so far 🙏😊😎👍
-
As I expected it would take a long time here we are with the linkages and eventual hoses😎👍😁
-
So here's the engine so far, it's my first crack at this I'm going to try and put linkages on this as best I can I don't know the exact color of the shiny Silver components so that's why I painted them that way at the end of the day it's all about fun 😊
-
I've been staring at and eyeballing reference photos the entire time, the engine won't entirely mimic the original but "as close as possible" is the idea plus, I've never wired up an engine ever so a monster truck I thought would be a great idea to try that on, happy building everyone 😎 👋
-
Thanks it's been a process steadily rolling towards the finish line 👍😎

I noticed the radiator, looks great was it scratch built, I'll be doing the same thing in a little bit with my current project -
At the end of the day it's all about fun I've found the building of the engine very therapeutic I had to paint the sparkplug wires so while they dry I'll continue with the battery and other things maybe the shock absorbers 😁😁😁 happy building everyone 😎 👋👋👋
-
After a few days I am back again with a few progress updates looky here 😁😎💯👍
-
Painted just one more coat from the bottom and it's done up to that point 😁
-
I'm taking a tiny break FINALLY!🙏😁 The chassis is ready for paint yehoo!,
-
So many processes but I carry on, once the brackets are on the chassis I'll paint it and then continue my work on the "Frankenstein" engine I have to say this is the first highest detailed model I've ever built it's going to be a milestone once the paint flies, happy building everyone 😎💯👍🎉
-
I'm now getting some serious scratch building happening with the linkages here's a look at the process so far
-
I'm back with some more progress trying to get to the paint ready point, here's some more photos of the chassis I'm working on the shock tower mounts and four link mounts then floor and finally paint 🎨
-
Here's some more photos, I was mocking up the body with the cage and letting the imagination run 😁
-
Hello everyone I'm back with some achievements in this project, here's where we are, I did notice that the right side of the chassis is in scale inches about 2 1/2" or more lower than the left side so I'm going to cut the top off a bit and see if that works, so far we're looking good 👍 😊
