MAN CHRIS!!! That rear end looks AWESOME! im glad you added the extra bracing like brad suggested. NOW GET BACK TO WORK!!!!im sorry I dont know where that came from Keep up the excellent work my friend

new updates

Hey thanks Luis & Antonio I needed to make the brake calipers and I had one more piece of the resin tranny I cut up so i carved the calipers out of that. Enjoy... I started by cutting the resin piece in half can you see where this is going? after a about 10mins of sculpting with jewelers files , I had a brake caliper just need to paint it now. Cya Soon.....

this is gonna be fun to watch i think you can do it too. Go for it!!

well dang whatya know a 3rd update today,... I had to finish up these rims and get em outta the way. So here's a run down of what i did since the last post. I added the beadlock bolts, axle caps and valve stems enjoy. in order to make the axle cap I had to solder a piece of tube to a piece of brass sheet heres what I have after I clean it up..... Now to cut it off, the black dot is where I'll be cutting it's 3mm from the top..... Any last words you piece of tubing ? ok cap completed and installed on the axle end Next I added the beadlock bolts Yikes!! I forgot the valve stems so I drilled the rims and install the stems , the black dot is where I drilled the final product.... Yall come back now ya hear!

Sweet I'll be watching this one. But change the stance so its lower those big wheels should have a nice tub in the back of that hatch

Thx fellas for your humble compliments... im tryin to step up production so to speak. So the updates are gonna come more frequently. Anyway here's the next of many. I hope you enjoy. Here you can see I have the rear wheel assembly together just have to attach the brakes. This will bolt on as one assembly its was easier to make it this way. I also did the beadlock rings in anodized blue. (Tamiya Clear Blue over Silver) Still have to clean it up a bit, I'll add the beadlock bolts next. Heres a close up of the scale 1 inch lug nuts from http://www.scalehardware.com

Impressive!

Well I finished these sooner than I thought so without further ado.... Painted with lug studs threaded even here a teeny tiny lug nut which will hold on the wheels... I forgot to add this I drilled the rims for the bead lock bolts enjoy

Chris , Dave & John thanks for the sincere compliments and for following along on this journey. got a few things to share with ya today. So on to the pics enjoy. heres some motor parts I hit with a dose of Alclad I need to make the rear wheel mounts, so I turned some on my ol trusty dremel , I started with a piece of the resin tranny that i cut up earlier in the build. After cutting it in half , I chucked it up in the dremel and turned a disc like this.... Now i needed to make the center hole wider so I pulled out the jewelers files and got busy... Now I made the hole big enough to fit a piece of tube the size of my axle in the middle and I needed to drill the lug stud holes so they match the holes in my rear rims...... Now to get the actual shape of the mount I used my dremel once again all thats left to do now is to hit them with Alclad and install the lug studs (which will be done tomorrow)..... come back again soon...

Very nice Mark makes me want to pull out the Ducati Desmodeci ive had shelved for a couple years, keep up the excellent work.

Hey thx a heap

Same here Dave , I'm just convinced now that there are parts gremlins who just wait for me to drop something and they snatch it up and its gone forever.

Boy this is gonna be good , cant wait for the next update!

The hat bolts through the plate to the blower , I just havent added the bolts yet

I use Johnson & Johnson Bandage Tape

John T. Big Thx buddy Mark spelling corrected thx. Dave we spoke on this Brad I'm so glad you can get something from this thanks a heap. Well fellas I have a small update , And I would like to apologize to a couple a good guys I may have rubbed the wrong way. You know who you are and if your not sure ,... then its not you, and please don't ask. its been resolved. had to make a blower hold down plate Blower bag Last but not least , I decided to redo the valve covers Black See ya on the next update....

this little thing is Sweet Alyn but i don't remember having a electric fuel pump on our shifter carts. the fuel is fed by pressure from the piston. So i don't think you have to worry about that battery. Just paint it white and make it an in-line fuel filter.

Well i will be there.

Thanks go out to Richard, John T, & Luis and i want you guys (forum members) to know all your kindness is greatly appreciated. Here's the wrapped Lenco transmission(spelling corrected)LOL! , just have a couple small details left to put on it then it get bolted into the chassis. hope you enjoy. Until the next update...

Coming along nicely friend Keep up the good work.

This is gonna be a another "Fantastic Voyage" thx for taking us along for the ride John

Hey Tony thx for your compliment and thx for following the build, I'm just gonna do my best on the paint and maybe I'll get something nice out of it. So I got a lil bench time in last night and was able to get back to the tranny , I was gonna go full blown detail on it but i did some reserch and found that most Pro Mods run a tranny bag so all my hard work will be covered up, So to heck with the detail. Of course there will be enough detail for a good show anyway heres what I have and I'll make another post later today. I hope you enjoy. Here we have the ruff tranny and the resin bell housing here the tranny and bell housing have been attached and I have fabbed a reverse brace on the output end. Reverse handle and lever. see ya later...

Good to see you back on this one Bill , I remember when you started it last year looking forward to seeing it completed. keep up the excellent work. Romell
