Sweet! Nice scratchbuildin' there. Love that frame (what I can see of it ) I gots one dem kits too--in the stasheroo--no idea if/when I'll get to it, but I'll hafta keep this here coolness in mind.

Thanks Raul, I's havin' a blast with this here blower. Can't wait to be paintin' it, and comin' up with some kinda belt fer it ........speakin' of paint, methinks ol' SKWIRLY seen yer Raptor in it's green skin, and he be tryin' to talk me into stayin' in his green skin, too. Came home from a gruelling 5k and ol' SKWIRLLY weres jabbering 'bout him needing a scoop fer dat blower, so... Started out with a green cap ofr'n a green felt tip marker, but trashed it in the fabbing processso, so grabbed me a poiple one and it all worked out. Back of blower, front of scoop..........??? Dat aint right, but it sure am SKWIRLY fRONT of back of............Oh, never mind me. Blower & scoop assembly sittin' comfy likes whiles the 'weld' sets up. Turned my tension to lower parts of the 4banger. Coverem up plate fer where the distributor/magneto gonna be poppin' out the blockage. Just cuttin' thin pieces of sprue and a li'l disc of styreene, dump a buncha goo on the plate and add the pieces. Hopefuellie paint will help hide the gooeyness Added distributor/mag shaft housing to das plate, and had to cut up one my credit cards to seal the bottom of the shaft. Ol' SLWKIRLY's 4banger caint wait fer to get mo' parts on 'im. Looks like I's gonna hafta visit me LHS again fer more dem teeny weeny bolts

More in progresso pics in my fotki thingee: http://public.fotki.com/V866/crazy-cars-by-cb/page11.html Dat 4banger is getting BIG! Here's some in progresso shots of the air holes being added to the blower house. I reallys got into this here portion of the program, drillin' and tappin' them innards shafts into das blower. Used the finest of sprue I could find for SLWKIRLAY. Founded some baby pics of the QWIRrly dude........ aint he cute?! Now he's all growd up, green, mean, and anxoius to get his 4banger bangin'.

Anybody we know?

And I's havin' a whole lots of fun. Still might dirll & polish a couple dem tubers & have the blower half-on, half-off so's everbody can see's 'em, but..........we'll sees I's hopin to slides into the libary first thing in the am, dump up some mo' pix from today, coz I gots started on das blower housing (libary usin them Hemi powered puters--mine just a li'l ol 144 cubes)

DUDE! You's oughta see it in person!

PR? Porto Rico? Gee, I dunno 'bout dat Jose. Probly hafta put ol' SLKWIRKLY in a box--- don't think him would like dat very much! Tanks fer the kindly words there, Jose. Glad to hear dat I done did inspire you to buildem up a VW too. Hope I can find a 'toy' VW bug so's I can make a companion fer the SKWILRY dude. Had a nice li'l bug and all this stuff was gonna go into it, but I gaved it a bath & the water weres way too hot and the li'l bug shriveled up Hopin' to postem up some mo' jpegs soonly, so stay tuney

Thought about countin' all the parts goin' into this here SKWILRAY buildem up, but then I got back to work...... Filing one of 4 intake tuber flanges for the 4banger Drilling hole thru flange for bolt for flange for intake tuber for 4banger for SKWIRLS All tubered up & blotted down Now we's movin' on up. Fabbin' bottom plate of top of intaker manifold where the SKWIRLS blower gonna be sittin'. (I gotta resist the urge to drill out them ports & polish 'em up & @ ) First welds applied and li'l bit of weight set on for the setting up. Lots more welding to go. SLWKIRLS be smilin'

Nice looking project car you got going there Dan. Love that li'l 4banger Keep up the good work.

Yeah! what he said!

is looking good! very very good! gonna look even gooder wit some skinnies up front

Exquisite. Really cool how you're addin' another dimension to the modely world, Dave. The smell of leather. mucho coolness

Them dual pipes out the back are a definite improvement, and that rear end shot with them really big wide meats is awesome! Seems almost sacreligous to me tho, them wheels on a 69 Chebbelle Whatcha think 'bout some Cragars or Astros or even stock wheels & tires? Methinks that would make a world of difference, specially with the classic paint yer talkin about.

Yep, I be holeheartedly greein' witcha dere Led, my man, woulda been way cool ........mebbe the SWLEKRLY one'll talk me into tryin fer a repeat

and now, Cap'n will be bending tubers, using his favorite tool........ tickle tickle........them haint tubers........them'rs rods. Nah, just some hunks of sprue or maybe some exhausted pipes off'n a 1/8 Deurce? whatever Intake tuber #1 bended & inserted----3 more to go Li'l behind the scenes showin ya'll a tuber in the throes of a bending We want to be next! Bend us! Bend us! See haow happy SWLKIRLLY is? Him gots all 4 for his 4bangin ground scrapin VW powersplant all set in places waiting for final convigorations. Gottsa fab some flanges to weld to the tubers so's they can bolt down to the head... with them 1/32 X 5/32 bolts torqued to .014 footpounders. uh huh.........flange uno lookin' oakley doakley. Got the tuber top ends trimmed for to start fittin to a plentious plenum or blower or (goodly grief!) couple scratchem upped 4 barrells ........and first bolt in. I gotta go walk in the dark fer a spell.

Greeplings, my precious mcnuggets Finally had enuff smart remarks from the sqkwirlly dude about my apron whhile I weres doin' the housework, so I done decided to take a break from the boring life and go a wee bit mo' insamne . Gettin' some mo' done on the 4banger....... Everbody, meet Buck. Buck, say howdy to everone. Ol' Buck here came from down under this ol' house, way down in the powertool room. He gonna help us form up some valve coverlets fer the 4. Thanky kindly Buck. ahh.........flame..........ahh........ WHOA! cool weirdness! Way cool how the ink or paint on the 'FOR SALE' sign seperated or varigated........or whatever! Yup, heated a hunka the sign over the flame, and rammed it down over Buck, sliced it free and sanded some dem ruffs off'n the bottom....... and set valve coverlet #1 in place. Valve coverlet #2 wereren't so cool. Goodly enuffs fer a sqkwirlly dude. Getting flanged as we speak

Love your work, Scott. Gonna be a shame when this is done coz we won't get to see as much as we are now, so take yer time dude! Too bad about the little mishap with the candle---dat can be very touchy working with the flame

Methinks I'm startin' to see why SLKWIRLLY likes ya so much Led...WOW WOW WOW Well, you aiinst gots to live with 'im! Guess things aint all that bad, I's been gettin into the plumbin' of the ol' boy's 4banger Added a vent pipe to him bell housing so's some dat heat could escapade. We's gotta get some paint on some these here parts. Coz, like you says Bernard, We is rockin'! Tryin' to figger out xcactly how to form the intake manifold tubers & I's thinkin' them's gonna be next up

This here's getting outa hand......... Lord, help me! Don't look so bad, huh? Yeah, right, I just had to........ scratch me a hex head oil plug for ol' SLKWIRRLY. Me LHS has bolts even smaller than the ones I got there already fer mountin' the 4banger up, and SKWIRLS just had to have 'em . Just a FYI: that there li'l old bolt is 1/8" long (threaded part)- --only 5/32" long overall, and the threads are only 1/32" diameter. The stryreney thingee in my hand wit' dat li'l ol' blot am SKEWIRLLY's starter 'Bendix', and........ it mounts up likes so....... and thusly, with dat big ol' startem up sittin' nice & purty on top the block. But wait! Cain't have no hi-powered ol' SLWILRLY starter just sittin on top of el blocko. It gotta have a bracket So I started fabbin' one up. Here'm the bracket afore the final cut. Here'm the parts all ready fer assemblages. Thar she be! All bolted down in place. If'n any of yinz wants to go as crazy as me.......

WOW!

Whoa! Not what I expeckted to see when I saw the title, but what a cool ride! Very well done, I might add. Aint a real big fan of the low profile tires & big wheels combos, but I LOVES them wires!! And yeah, Welcome! got any more? huh?

Boy, I can't wait to see this up on some wheels & tires. Love the detailing yer doin' on the small block Looks like a good start on the gutted interior---paint will probly help a lot, plus rollbar, etc in there so all the attention won't be on the sides. Looking forward to more pics. Keep up the good work.

'rice burner'? watchu talkin' about Jerry? Ol' SKWALRLY am more of a 'bratwurst burner'-from the ol' country. Geez, I gots enuff turble with 'im as it is........if'n him feelings get too hurt he gonna go have another fling with ol' Led Well sirs, I hadta take some new pics of some recent work I done....... Fabbed up a startem up for ol' SKWIRLY's 4banger. Thar it be, in position. Still needs some 'machining'. Been using up parts outa the big box of 1/8 Big Duece I got from Deetroit. Dat main housing fer the starter is from the Big Duece rear axle. Gonna plant some power cable in that 'hole' on top back to a receptickle so's when he's all juiced up we'll just plug him in and start crankin' 'til he starts or blows up. Don't know why, but got the oily pan all shipshaped, and added some built up glue drops to stimulate blot heads around the flange, and added the start of him oil plugem up tube which gets trimmed down closer to the pan & mebbe I'll put a plug in it..........& mebbe not It's all gonna be coverd up with his skid plate anyhowso........ Looks like it fits in place puirty goodly, now I gotsa make a gasket rice burner????????????
